Nos petits-enfants comptent sur nous



A book that reinvents the place of grandparents in today’s world In a world where everything is changing at high speed, authors Sylvie Ménard (Quebec) and Jean-Luc Pening (Brussels) propose a deeply human and inspiring reflection: What if today’s grandparents became builders of the future rather than simple guardians of the past? Based on their dual expertise – coaching in positive psychology, intergenerational development and lived experiences – they invite each reader to rediscover the joy, responsibility and power of influence of the role of grandparent. Between stories, tools and emotions “Our grandchildren are counting on us” is not just an essay. It is an initiatory journey to the heart of the grandparent/grandchild relationship. The authors alternate touching anecdotes, practical advice and universal reflections, nourished by positive psychology and the key skills of coaching (ICF). From “Mamie-Cil” to “Papifou”, each chapter becomes a symbolic gift, an open door to dialogue.
