Abstract
Comment annoncer à un enfant la mort d'un proche? Quelles peuvent être ses réactions à la perte d'un être cher? Comment l'aider à traverser ces moments difficiles? Ce guide pratique s'adresse aux parents, grands-parents, oncles et tantes, parrains et marraines, etc., qui, confrontés à un décès dans leur famille ou dans leur entourage, se préoccupent de ce que vivent les enfants. Il concerne également les professionnels de l'enfance et de la famille (éducateurs, assistants sociaux, psychologues, enseignants, etc.) qui sont amenés à suivre un enfant en deuil. À l'aide d'explications théoriques et d'exemples tirés de leur pratique, les auteurs apportent un éclairage ciblé sur différentes facettes du processus de deuil de l'enfant. Des pistes de réflexion et d'action sont suggérées et détaillées par âges, allant de la prime enfance à l'adolescence. Des conseils utiles sont également proposés aux adultes et à la famille dans son ensemble. Ce guide a été réalisé par les intervenantes de la fondation As'trame, qui accompagne des enfants en deuil et leurs familles depuis plus de vingt ans. L'expérience accumulée au cours de ces nombreuses années constitue la substance même du livre. Celui-ci est structuré en chapitres indépendants qui peuvent être lus séparément les uns des autres. Le lecteur peut ainsi trouver rapidement des réponses à ses questions sans avoir à parcourir l'entier de l'ouvrage.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (includes Asperger Syndrome)
Abstract
Pathological Demand Avoidance Syndrome (PDA) is a developmental disorder that is being increasingly recognized as part of the autism spectrum. The main characteristic is a continued resistance to the ordinary demands of life through strategies of social manipulation, which originates from an anxiety-driven need to be in control.
This straightforward guide is written collaboratively by professionals and parents to give a complete overview of PDA. Starting with an exploration into the syndrome, it goes on to answer the immediate questions triggered when a child is first diagnosed, and uses case examples throughout to illustrate the impact of the condition on different areas of the child's life. Early intervention options and workable strategies for managing PDA positively will make day-to-day life easier for the child, their family and peers. New problems faced in the teenage years and how to assist a successful transition from adolescence to adulthood are also tackled. The book concludes with a valuable resources list.
Full of helpful guidance and support, this user-friendly introductory handbook is essential reading for families, carers and anyone who knows a child with PDA
