Abstract
Une approche révolutionnaire pour discipliner les enfants de 2 à 12 ans. Sans cris. Sans larmes. Nos enfants, prunelles de nos yeux, centres de notre univers, amours de notre vie, se transforment parfois en princes des démons. [Désagréable] fait vécu quasi quotidien entre une mère et sa fille de 6 ans* : — Je peux avoir un petit gâteau ? — Non, ma chérie. — Pourquoi ? — Parce qu’on soupe dans 15 minutes. — Mais j’en veux un, bon ! — Je viens de te dire que tu ne pouvais pas en avoir. — Tu ne me donnes jamais rien ! Tu en as donné un morceau à Léo, il y a une heure.

L’orthographe d’usage est bien plus logique qu’on pense. Pourtant, écrire en français suscite toujours doutes et hésitations. Pour aider tous les indécis orthographiques à écrire sans fautes, le prof Colignon propose une foule de formules ludiques faciles à retenir : - L’accent de cime est tombé dans l’abîme! - On se nourrit deux fois par jour, mais mourir n’arrive qu’une seule fois! - Le teint jaunâtre de ce bellâtre tire sur l’olivâtre!

Abstract
The essay is rhizomatic: it builds off and shoots out conversations between us every time we read, reread, or write. When we speak back to others we amplify ourselves and get a foothold in an ongoing conversation. How We Speak to One Another collects those conversations, giving context to a genre, deepening the flexibility and vitality of its many forms. Ander Monson is the author, most recently, of Letter to a Future Lover: Marginalia, Errata, Secrets, Inscriptions, and Other Ephemera Found in Libraries (Graywolf Press).

Abstract
Recreational screen media use is quickly replacing family time, by no fault of parents. They are doing the best they can based on the information available to them, which claims nothing can be done to stop their children's screen dependence. Parents seeking change need a new framework for action. Breaking the Trance does not blame parents or vilify technology, but it does give parents clear and effective strategies to implement immediately. The results will restore a sense of care and connection within the family. George T.
