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!

Coming to grips with chronic pain is a very trying process for teenagers and their families. Dancing with Pain takes us into four teen's experiences dealing with pain from a facial injury, Sickle Cell Disease, CRPS (complex regional pain syndrome) and neck and shoulder trauma.
Combining animation of the brain's central role and embodiment through dance, we are led into the different stages of their healing, including the experience with their chronic pain team.
Produced and directed by Dr. Leora Kuttner with choreographer Judith Marcuse and dancer Vanessa Goodman, edited by Moira Simpson, with original score by Hal Beckett, this film is to inform and support health care professionals, patients and their families.

Callie loves theater. And while she would totally try out for her middle school's production of Moon Over Mississippi, she's a terrible singer. Instead she's the set designer for the stage crew, and this year she's determined to create a set worthy of Broadway on a middle-school budget. But how can she, when she doesn't know much about carpentry, ticket sales are down, and the crew members are having trouble working together? Not to mention the onstage AND offstage drama that occurs once the actors are chosen, and when two cute brothers enter the picture, things get even crazier! Following the success of SMILE, Raina Telgemeier brings us another graphic novel featuring a diverse set of characters that humorously explores friendship, crushes, and all-around drama!

Que l'enfant aie peur d'un monstre dans son placard, de s'éloigner, de sauter dans l'eau ou des autres enfants, son anxiété le limite dans sa vie et peut être particulièrement exaspérante pour toute la famille. Dans ce livre, vous comprendrez pourquoi les explications logiques et le réconfort échouent le plus souvent, pourquoi l'évitement n'est pas une bonne idée et pourquoi forcer n'aide pas. Lawrence Cohen, l'auteur de « Qui veut jouer avec moi ? » propose ici des stratégies originales, simples et efficaces pour aider votre enfant non seulement à dépasser son anxiété, mais aussi à retrouver confiance et solidité. Vous saurez : enseigner à votre enfant comment fonctionne le système de sécurité de son corps : l'alerte, l'alarme, l'évaluation et la fin d'alerte. L'aider à tolérer l'inconfort et traverser un moment effrayant, sans fuir ni serrer les dents. Trouver des façons rigolotes de relâcher les tensions. Rester vous-même calme lors d'une crise. Rendre à votre enfant la maîtrise de ses pensées, pour que les pensées anxieuses laissent la place à d'autres plus constructives. Mine de ressources et de finesse, ce livre propose des solutions et des techniques pour passer d'anxiété, inquiétude et peur à confiance, connexion et joie !

Abstract
Melody is not like most people. She cannot walk or talk, but she has a photographic memory; she can remember every detail of everything she has ever experienced. She is smarter than most of the adults who try to diagnose her and smarter than her classmates in her integrated classroom?the very same classmates who dismiss her as mentally challenged, because she cannot tell them otherwise. But Melody refuses to be defined by cerebral palsy. And she?s determined to let everyone know it?somehow.

Abstract
Planet Cancer is an honest, down-to-earth guide to living in this new world, from Diagnosis to Post-Treatment. Each chapter is informed by Planet Cancer’s voice—authoritative, funny, friendly, no-nonsense. Experts address issues from all sides around bedrock “What It’s Really Like” essays: deeply personal, unflinching, and often hilarious pieces written by people who actually experienced on Planet Cancer things like banking sperm, adopting a child, or undergoing brain radiation. The book, enlivened with quotes and real-life stories from Planet Cancer members, gives the uninitiated a sense of community and removes some of the mystery and fear of the unknown.
