Abstract

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

A comforting primer in emotional literacy and mindfulness that suggests we approach the feeling of sadness as if it is our guest.

Sadness can be scary and confusing at any age! When we feel sad, especially for long periods of time, it can seem as if the sadness is a part of who we are - an overwhelming, invisible, and scary sensation.

In When Sadness Is at Your Door, Eva Eland brilliantly approaches this feeling as if it is a visitor. She gives it a shape and a face, and encourages the reader to give it a name, all of which helps to demystify it and distinguish it from ourselves. She suggests activities to do with it, like sitting quietly, drawing, and going outside for a walk. The beauty of this approach is in the respect the book has for the feeling, and the absence of a narrative that encourages the reader to 'get over' it or indicates that it's 'bad,' both of which are anxiety-producing notions.

Simple illustrations that recall the classic style of Crockett Johnson (Harold and the Purple Crayon) invite readers to add their own impressions.

Eva Eland's debut picture book is a great primer in mindfulness and emotional literacy, perfect for kids navigating these new feelings and for adult readers tackling the feelings themselves!
