Haim Ginott citations

Haim G. Ginott était un enseignant, un psychologue des enfants et un médecin psychothérapeute travaillant avec les enfants et leurs parents.

Rescapé des camps de la mort, Haim Ginott a commencé sa vie professionnelle en 1947 en Israël, comme maître d'école, avant d'émigrer aux États-Unis. Il a obtenu un doctorat de psychologie clinique à l'Université Columbia à New York en 1952. Par la suite, son travail à la Clinique de Jacksonville , en Floride, lui a permis d'élaborer une attitude éducative articulant étroitement compassion et fixation des limites.

Il a initié des techniques pour parler aux enfants qui sont toujours utilisées de nos jours. Son livre, Between Parent and Child était un best-seller pendant plus d'un an et reste très populaire aujourd'hui. Wikipedia

Haim Ginott: Citations en anglais

“I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element in the classroom. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. As a teacher, I possess a tremendous power to make a child's life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated, a child humanized or de-humanized.”
