Abstract

Les adolescents sont drôles, fragiles, imprévisibles et parfois franchement difficiles. Ils aspirent à l?autonomie, sans vraiment le vouloir. C?est pourquoi ils dépensent beaucoup d?énergie, et ceux qui s?occupent d?eux aussi? Parfois, les relations deviennent tendues, et la communication est conflictuelle. Devant la demande pressante des parents et des enseignants, Eline Snel a décidé d?adapter son programme aux adolescents. Ce livre est le fruit de quatre années de travail et de pratique sur le terrain.

Abstract

The first parenting book to bring the science and psychology of children's behavior together to build brain/body awareness for self-regulation and success Self-Reg is a ground-breaking book that presents an entirely new understanding of your child's emotions and behavior that serves as a practical guide for parents to help their kids engage calmly and successfully in learning and life. Rooted in decades of clinical practice and research by leading child psychologist Dr. Stuart Shanker, Self-Reg realigns the power of the parent-child relationship for positive change. Self-regulation is the nervous system's way of responding to stress. We are seeing a generation of children and teens with excessively high levels of stress and, as a result, an explosion of emotional, social, learning, behavior, and physical health problems. But few parents recognize the "hidden stressors" that their children are struggling with: physiological as well as social and emotional. An entrenched view of child rearing is seeing our children as lacking self-control or will-power, but the real basis for these problems lies in excessive stress. Self-regulation can dramatically improve a child's mood, attention, and concentration. It can help children to feel empathy and to develop the sorts of virtues that every parent knows are vital for their child's long-term well-being. Self-regulation brings about profound and lasting transformation that continues to mature throughout life. Shanker translates decades of his findings from working with children into practical, prescriptive advice for parents, giving them concrete ways to develop their self-regulation skills and teach their children how to do the same for optimal learning, social, and emotional growth as well as for overall well-being.

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!
