I have been an educator for over 20 years and, being a mother of a ten year-old girl, I fully embrace the importance of instilling a true awareness of the world in our children. 

It seems essential to me to pave the way of our children’s education with a solid foundation.

This begins with their learning to pause in order to understand what is happening within them, with their emotions, and then to comprehend what is around them. Indeed, when we consistently nurture mindfulness in children, we teach them to appreciate these everyday little moments, and thus enhance their sensitivity and their empathy. 

“What is now?” aims at addressing the little ones as well as the older ones as mindfulness requires self- practice that can be learned at all ages. This book is an introduction to learning together about our inner self in a simple and accessible manner, so that we can better understand the outside world.

“Sometimes, I need you” is a book that tells us the importance of our needs. All needs are essential. And even though physiological needs are vital, other needs are just as important and allow us to understand what is happening inside us. The Nonviolent Communication (NVC) postulate by Marshall Rosenberg tells us: “I believe that every message, whatever its form or content, is an expression of a need.”
“The better we can associate our feelings with our needs, the better the other can respond to them with empathy.”
