Appréhender et tempérer les troubles de l'adolescence. Tous les ados ne se ressemblent pas. Certains vivent cette période repliés dans leur chambre, d'autres ne cessent de sortir. Certains perdent tout intérêt pour les études, d'autres sont toujours premiers, certains ont le joint aux lèvres dès le lever, d'autres n'y toucheraient pour rien au monde et d'autres encore oscillent entre les deux extrêmes. Il reste que certains traits se dégagent et que tous vivent une période complexe. Crise ? Oui, en quelque sorte. L'adolescent traverse une crise, une transformation. L'adolescence inquiète parce que les risques sont effectivement là. Et pour traverser cette étape, Les ados ont besoin de leurs parents. A leurs côtés et non en face d'eux. Conçu comme les précédents - par tranche d'âge -, ce livre explore la psychologie des adolescents, ainsi que certaines composantes biologiques et physiologiques, et aide ainsi à poser un regard nouveau sur les motivations de leurs comportements.

Occupational therapy uses simple, fun activities to help kids learn the skills they need for daily life, from eating meals and writing the alphabet to socializing with friends and family. Occupational Therapy Activities for Kids is designed to help children at all developmental ability levels strengthen those skills by playing their way through 100 exciting exercises that are easy to do at home anytime.
-
This family-friendly guide offers concise information on how occupational therapy works and shows you how to apply it in a way that benefits your child. The games are even divided into chapters based on different types of occupational therapy skills―sensory processing, motor, social-emotional, and cognitive and visual processing―so you can focus on the ones that are most important for your child.
Customizable for your kid―Every chapter starts with the simplest activities and increases in complexity, with tips on how to make each activity easier or harder.
No experience necessary―From Balloon Volleyball to Find the Treasure, most exercises can be done with things you probably already have in your home. No prior knowledge or special tools required.
All kids, all ages―These occupational therapy activities are built for kids 1 to 6 years old with various developmental challenges, but they can help all kids improve their physical, social-emotional, and cognitive abilities.

Abstract
Growing up the son of a professional hockey player - Tie Domi - Max saw from an early age what it took to make the NHL: grit, talent, and the support of a team. Over countless hours in the garage, at the rink, and in the gym, Max chased his dream. It seemed that Max was born to be on the ice.
But then, when he was twelve years old, Max started getting sick. And sicker. Eventually, he and his family learned the truth: Max had type 1 diabetes.
Overnight, Max and his family found their lives upended. All Max wanted was to be a normal kid, but suddenly, the simplest things - a game of basketball with friends, a family meal, a school field trip - were complicated with a thousand different considerations.
As he struggled to find his new normal, Max slowly began to realize that overcoming his disease demanded the same qualities that it took to be a hockey player - mental and physical toughness, maturity, and the love and care of family and friends. Bit by bit, he learned - sometimes the hard way - not just to control his diabetes, but to turn it into an advantage. If managing his disease was going to demand that Max be stronger, more prepared, and more disciplined than anyone else, then he wouldn't just be good at those things: he'd be the best. He'd do whatever it took to move him closer to his dream of playing in the NHL.

Sexuality
Abstract
Vous croyez tout savoir sur le sexe ? Vos amis, la porno, vos lectures vous ont tout appris ? De toute façon, faire l'amour c'est naturel !
Fine observatrice et grande communicatrice, Janette Bertrand sait aborder les questions que vous vous posez secrètement. Sociologue de la sexualité, Michel Dorais travaille à mieux comprendre la sexualité et les préjugés qui l'entourent. Elle a l'expérience, il a la science. Cet ouvrage est le fruit de leurs échanges animés et passionnants sur la sexualité à toutes les étapes de la vie, de la jeunesse à la vieillesse.
Afin de combattre l'ignorance et la désinformation sur les problèmes liés à la vie sexuelle, elle s'interroge comme elle seule sait le faire. Il répond avec nuance et discernement, par-delà les idées préconçues.
Un livre essentiel, indispensable pour tous ceux et celles qui veulent en apprendre davantage sur leur sexualité et sur celle des autres. Ce livre va vraiment vous étonner.
