Abstract
Que se passe-t-il dans la tête d'un adolescent ? Comment répondre au chaos émotionnel qu'il traverse ? Beaucoup de parents, dépassés par les métamorphoses de leur enfant, s'interrogent. Longtemps, on a cru que tout venait des hormones. Grâce aux neurosciences, on sait aujourd'hui que le remodelage du cerveau est au coeur de l'adolescence. Entre 12 et 24 ans, c'est un immense chantier, où tout n'est pas encore connecté. D'où les sautes d'humeur de l'ado et son hypersensibilité. D'où ses difficultés à prévoir et anticiper. Autant de situations face auxquelles interdire ou réprimer est souvent contre-productif... Le Dr Daniel Siegel nous donne ici les clés pour relever l'un des plus grands défis de la parentalité : accueillir l'incroyable potentiel de l'adolescent, instaurer un dialogue sécurisant, l'aider à développer les facultés d'introspection et d'empathie qui feront de lui un adulte équilibré et apte au bonheur. Le conflit intergénérationnel n'est pas une fatalité!

Abstract
Feeling different, especially as a kid, can be tough. But in the same way that different types of plants and flowers make a garden more beautiful and enjoyable, different types of people make our world more vibrant and wonderful.
In Just Ask, United States Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor celebrates the different abilities kids (and people of all ages) have. Using her own experience as a child who was diagnosed with diabetes, Justice Sotomayor writes about children with all sorts of challenges--and looks at the special powers those kids have as well. As the kids work together to build a community garden, asking questions of each other along the way, this book encourages readers to do the same: When we come across someone who is different from us but we're not sure why, all we have to do is Just Ask.
