As part of my job, I led her to develop workshops to animal mediation around parenting.

Design such a project has generated many questions from a professional point of view but also personal! For any action involving an accompaniment to parenthood is a participatory approach that transcends the logic of the unequivocal support professionalized ... Beyond the logical and professional practices, what is at stake and movement about the topic parenting? And why would you want to include the animal?

Through a few tickets, I will try, modestly, you bring theoretical benchmarks and show my experience and my experience.

Accompany parenthood ... has become a major focus for several years in our country and we have seen an increasing number of innovative proposals such as: receptions parenting, mediation places, groups of words ... Parenting is quickly becoming a new concept but also the support of a new model of public action.

What is parenting? Why and how to accompany?

Excerpt from website REAAP 33 (Gironde)

Parenthood means the parent (s)-child (ren) in their daily practice and private. Emerged in the 90s, the success of the term owes its success to its ability to claim a new area, which attests to the developments of contemporary society.

"Parenthood" by Serge Lebovici:
Covers the concept of parenthood in the first place, from the 80s, a new perception of "Parenthood," that it is not the parent with the birth of a child, you become one. That parenthood is a psychological maturation process that continues during the stages of child development (schooling, adolescence, empowerment). It is a process made ​​more complex it requires some adjustments and readjustments permanent: the multiplication of landmarks and the lack of recognized educational model maintain a constant uncertainty for parents.

Mutations of the family and private life come to question the hegemony of the nuclear family. In a second step, the concept of parenthood has allowed the inclusion of new forms of parenthood parallel or additional (blended families, homosexual parenting, adoptive families ...), by differentiating the parental marriage.

Parenthood of social action:
Because being a parent and a test to become, parenthood is recognized as a process to malfunction. Increasingly, social action gives priority to prevention for parents on the side facing the child. The idea is that social workers are called to assist families, either by substituting for when difficulties were found, but by working with parents, working on their skills and parenting resources.
The parent, adult child dependent charge calls to be "helped" as that "helping". Parenting support means supporting the capacity of attention and reflection of the parents for their children.

It is the belief that parents need support, listened, helped because they have not resigned, what have been launched Networks Listening Support and Support for Parents in 1999 .

Since 1996, an annual conference of the Family gathers around a table for consultation and public policy family all ministries and all economic and social partners.
At the end of the Family Conference in June 1998, the Government decided to implement measures to strengthen the role of parents:

* The development of information networks for parents
* A more ambitious family mediation
* By improving parent-child relationship
* By securing parentage and recovery of parental authority

The Interministerial Commission on the Family (DIF), that the Family Conference was established in accordance with the wishes of the family representatives, worked on this issue with the National Family Allowances Fund (CNAF), the heads of major national networks of family Directorate of Social Action (DAS), the Interministerial Commission on the City and the Urban Social Development (DIV), the Directorate of Population and Migration (DPM). The goal is then to include in the term taking into account the family in public policy to family policy and a modern integrated policy.

This reflection led to the creation in 1999 by the Ministry of Employment and Solidarity, the device Listen Networks Support and Support for Parents (REAAP): the inter-ministerial circular of March 1999 is sent to the Prefects of each dewaxing rte ment for the implementation of REAAP locally.

A PROFESSIONAL STANCE:

Before the implementation of the project, I interviewed a lot on my own experience of parenting? I am not "mother" but like everyone else, parenthood is experienced, at first, as a child, in connection with his parents.

Why will accompany "parenting"? These parents really have a demand, an expectation? And why I wanted to associate the animal?

So many questions, which allowed me to think and prepare the draft ... but he has had at some time go! For it is from field experience that can build and then move forward.

As part of my practice, I prefer to call "accompaniment" to parenthood rather than "aid or support", these words conjure up images of a parental figure brittle, tottering! However, every parent, even in difficulties, has skills, it is our business to allow him to develop them and share them, if desired with other parents and / or professionals. Parenting can be link between parents or between parents and professionals, and the animal can help, and this link can help create a climate of confidence between different actors. The professional will provide the framework, this framework containing famous and benevolent! Let us not forget that despite all its qualities, our mediator is not a "magic wand" and the professional must "play its role" ...

With all these conditions, the barriers fall gradually between different actors and exchanges are extremely rich The animal becomes a support projections (and especially by its characteristic mediator alive) and will allow us to address the basic relations (fear, reciprocity, trust ...)

Accompany parenthood, is to propose and "thinking" of places, times, activities, which will allow parents to be able to meet and exchange information about their experiences, their doubts, their hopes ... but also can take the time to share an activity with their child ("make-whole" parent-child) and develop their skills.

The goal is to be next to the parent in its various functions: in Africa, it says it takes "a village to raise a child." I for my part in this process of "co-education" and away from me or want to position myself in "expert" of parenthood just because I'm a psychologist! And "who can now claim to know, willing or able to bear alone the ideal of parenthood accomplished? "(Frederick JESU)

Through other tickets, I will share my experience of coaching in parenting.
