by Isabelle Filliozat (Author), Jane Martin (Translator), Adrien Fried (Revised by)

Todd is throwing a tantrum in the supermarket and rolling on the floor, Lucy is crying her heart out over a burst balloon, Frank wakes up every night terrified because a monster is chasing after him, Peter is scared of tunnels... Parents are often at a loss, not knowing how to cope with their children's emotions. What should they do when faced with their inconsolably sobbing, screaming or panic-stricken children ? What should they say to Paul who has lost his daddy ? to Mary who has cancer ? or to Simon whose parents are divorcing ? Here's a book giving concrete advice illustrated by examples from everyday family life which will help you accompany your child towards autonomy, reconnect with your own childhood and gain greater harmony within the family circle.
