        Developing the Potential of Children with Special Needs

        A Skill-based Perspective on Early Childhood Movement Development

        by Jeremy Krauss

        Jeremy Krauss, one of the last students of Mosché Feldenkrais, has been practicing the Feldenkrais Method for over 40 years and has developed the Jeremy Krauss Approach (JKA) during the past 15 years in his work with children with special needs. This interprofessional approach can provide skill-based support for children with a variety of developmental delays. Krauss looks back on treatment successes with atypically developed individuals whose difficulties are located in the neurological, psychological, or socioemotional domain. Using numerous case studies, Krauss reflects on his experiences, which are connectable to topics such as motor learning, neuroplasticity and developmental psychology. Didactically, JKA is based on close observation of movement sequences and individual movement patterns. The focus is on variations in the dynamic transition from one position to another and the associated individual developmental steps.

        La magie de l'empathie

        Théorie et pratique

        by Dre Nicole Audet, M.D.

        Mon père détestait manger des pommes de terre non salées qu’il jugeait fades et sans goût. Comme lui, je reste sur mon appétit après une conversation superficielle et vide de sens. Pour mettre du piquant dans mes relations, j’ai dû y mettre de l’empathie, cette épice mystérieuse qui a le pouvoir de transformer ceux qui la maîtrisent.Dans ce livre, je vulgarise d’abord la théorie de la communication, puis je raconte des moments magiques où l’empathie a fait son œuvre dans ma vie et dans ma carrière. Enfin, je présente des recettes éprouvées pour se préparer à parler et à écouter avec cœur, authenticité et empathie. Ces compétences exigent des efforts de préparation, de concentration et d’ouverture vers l’autre, mais elles rapportent au-delà de toute espérance chez ceux qui les pratiquent et les maîtrisent. Après tout, pour être savoureuse, la patate a besoin de sel tout comme la communication a besoin d’empathie pour rehausser son goût. C’est magique!Mme Ruth Vachon, présidente et directrice générale du Réseau des femmes d’affaires du Québec signe la préface de ce livre.

        The Magic of Empathy

        Theory & Practice

        by Dr. Nicole Audet, M.D.

        So many of our relationships—including those most important to us are complicated by not listening: we are eager to speak, we talk over each other, or we unintentionally disregard the inner experiences of others. This is most notable in the working world, where a gap exists between professional efficiency and true human connection. In this heart-warming and radically honest book, Dr. Nicole identifies the remedy for resolving the pain and distance caused by miscommunication: empathy. Empathy, the ability to recognize and make space for another’s emotions without judgment, is both an action and a choice. Discovering the power of empathy to heal and create connections dramatically improved Dr. Nicole’s life, both as a mother and a doctor.The initial chapters demystify the theory of communication, focusing on empathy in theory and practice. Dr. Nicole also shares numerous powerful stories from her own life and career that reveal how empathy has led to authentic connections and long-term healing. Lastly, she provides the reader with proven exercises that will allow you to practice listening without judgment, honoring silence, responding with wisdom, and speaking from the heart. Such communication skills will open the doorsto moments of pure magic in your life.Foreword by Ruth Vachon, President and CEO of the Quebec Business Women’s Network.

        Ungal Kulanthai Yarudaiyathu?

        by Jeyarani

        We strive to enlighten our children With that in mind but We turn them into students. We only teach mindfulness in the season when knowledge is on fire. We make our children ourselves into modern beasts who have misunderstood the caste-based social values ​​of gender inequality and embraced the hyper-imagination of the economy. Thus we first need to understand that we are parents who have no understanding of education and do not know what the basics of child rearing are. The book is like a slap in the face to the fact that Indian parents can be subdued in two ways as strict parenting or pet parenting. Although the words of the author Jayarani, who speaks through this book, may hurt us in some places, there is a need for every parent to absorb these considering the future completeness of our children.

        Psychisch kranke Eltern, für Kinder (k)ein Problem?

        by Behla, Yvonne

        When people talk about the relatives of mentally ill people, they usually think of parents, siblings and partners. Very often, however, mentally ill people also have children. This book will evaluate the number of children in Germany who have either one or two mentally ill parents, their living situation and, most importantly, the impact of the parents’ illness on the child’s development. A special focus will be on the concrete strategies that children use and are offered to cope with their specific living situation. Furthermore, the question of which coping mechanisms within the family support the resolution of the arising conflicts will be dealt with. For social work, the focus is on what can be inferred for the improvement of supporting systems. Within this framework, an interesting thematic field is also the instance of children who do not seem to be damaged through their parents’ mental illness, though they have high risk factors. Stressing this resilience is very important to the author, who makes an effort to point out the protection and support provided by social work.
