Our children’s well-being is our source of serenity, which is why R&D is calling on Bruno Humbeeck, educational psychologist, to guide us through this new school year.

A whole host of questions come to mind to ensure that these months of learning go as smoothly as possible for our children.

  • We often find ourselves at a loss when faced with difficult moments in our children’s lives at school, but how can we deal with them?
  • How do you intervene without seeming intrusive in the eyes of a school that tends to see itself first of all as the exclusive territory of teachers and pupils?
  • How to behave while remaining in one’s place as a parent?
  • How do you handle to your child’s suffering when it is essentially a pupil’s suffering that the school seems to be struggling to respond to?
  • What is the parental role in dealing with this suffering?
  • What is the school’s educational role?
  • How do you deal with the suffering associated with integration into the classroom or those more directly associated with the difficulty of learning?
  • How do you deal with your child’s fears when they are rooted in school? How do you prevent them turning into a phobia? How can you prevent them from becoming rooted in your own anxieties as a parent?

Bruno Humbeeck will be answering these questions and providing precious advice on how best to manage these various situations.
