Par Brigitte Racine. 2008
"Pour vivre en harmonie avec son enfant, il est primordial d'établir avec lui un solide lien d'attachement et de confiance.…
Lorsque l'enfant se sent aimé, valorisé et sécurisé, lorsqu'il constate qu'on croit en lui et qu'on partage des moments de plaisir avec lui, il a envie de collaborer et de vivre une relation où chacun est attentif aux besoins de l'autre. Il ne faut pas chercher plus loin, c'est aussi simple que ça, c'est un jeu d'enfant. Tel est l'essentiel de cet ouvrage sur la discipline, que parents et éducateurs ont tout intérêt à lire. De façon plus précise, l'auteur définit ce qu'il faut entendre par une discipline incitative. Faisant appel à des moyens concrets et efficaces, elle met en garde les parents contre les effets négatifs des punitons et des récompenses. Elle souligne, par contre, les bienfaits de l'action de réparation qui fait appel à ce que l'enfant a de meilleur en lui et qui favorise par le fait même l'harmonie familiale". -- 4e de couv.Le défi de la discipline familiale (Collection Famille.)

Par Marie-Paule Mordefroid. 2008
Tous les parents rêvent d'une famille unie et paisible. Or, depuis l' âge du non jusqu'à la fin de l'adolescence,…
les occasions de confrontation entre enfants et parents ne manquent pas. D'une certaine manière, tout concourt à susciter les conflits au sein des familles, à commencer par les différences que l'on y observe : différences d'âge, de tempérament, de perception, de sensibilité, de langage [...]. Ce livre est tissé de témoignages recueillis auprès de pères et mères de famille ou puisés dans la propre expérience de l'auteur, mère de cinq enfants. Il met en perspective ces situations conflictuelles et montre comment des issues deviennent possibles lorsque le parent ajuste ses attitudes éducatives pour que l'enfant grandisse. Pas de recettes , mais des invitations argumentées à l'écoute, au dialogue, à la négociation peut-être, dans le respect de l'autre et de soi-même : une école de clarté, de patience et de courage, dans un juste exercice de l'autorité. -- 4e de couv."Dis maman, pourquoi on peut pas dire merde?"

Les mots ne peuvent pas tout mais ils peuvent beaucoup. Un livre de chevet pour tous les parents qui visent l'excellence pour leurs enfants." -- 4e de couv.Grèce ((Passions d'ailleurs))

Par Mary Beth Leatherdale. 2020

friendship defined by strength and love.Before Terry Fox become a national hero and icon, he was just a regular kid. But even then, his characteristic strength, determination and loyalty were apparent and were the foundation for his friendship with Doug. The two first met at basketball tryouts in grammar school. Terry was the smallest - and worst - basketball player on the court. But that didn't stop him. With Doug's help, Terry practiced and practiced until he earned a spot on the team. As they grew up, the best friends supported each other, challenged each other, helped each other become better athletes and better people. Doug was by Terry's side every step of the way: when Terry received a diagnosis of cancer in his leg, when he was learning to walk - then run - with a prosthetic leg and while he was training for the race of his life, his Marathon of Hope. Written from Doug's perspective, this story shows that Terry Fox's legacy goes beyond the physical and individual accomplishments of a disabled athlete and honors the true value of friendship.Standing on Her Shoulders
