Des liens pour la vie: Trousse de ressources pour l’attachement
Guide and Manual, 2007
Cette trousse contient des documents éducatifs, dont un DVD et un guide, ainsi que des outils à l’intention de ceux et de celles qui travaillent auprès des familles. Ces documents, mis au point à partir de données fondées sur des résultats en matière d’attachement, donnent une définition de l’attachement, traitent de son importance dans le développement de l’enfant, des facteurs qui l’influencent, et de ce que nous pouvons faire pour favoriser un attachement sécurisant.
Les outils pour développer l’attachement s’appellent “Activités pour développer l’attachement”. Il s’agit d’activités simples et agréables que les parents, ou les personnes responsables de l’enfant, peuvent faire avec l’enfant pour favoriser le développement d’un attachement sécurisant. Il y a sept activités à faire avec un enfant, quel que soit son âge. Il y a aussi plusieurs activités à faire avant la naissance du bébé et une liste de mythes et réalités pour faciliter la discussion avec les parents. La section sur les “activités pour développer l’attachement” comprend : les “directives pour l’animation de groupes de discussion”, lesquelles comprennent des suggestions sur la façon de présenter une activité à un groupe de parents en faisant appel à leurs qualités personnelles et à leurs points forts, et en utilisant des techniques d’enseignement pour adultes. Chaque activité comprend également un prospectus qui donne une brève description de l’activité aux parents. Les activités pour développer l’attachement sont indépendantes les unes des autres; vous pouvez en utiliser une ou plusieurs, selon ce qui est le plus approprié pour vous.

Science tells us these relationships are critical for the healthy development of babies’ brains. By following a group of families, this film teaches how to recognize the earliest signs of infant communication.

Fatherhood: Indigenous Men’s Journeys
Video, 2008
Six First Nations fathers in Canada tell what it has been like for them to become fathers and to grow into fatherhood. Most have overcome huge social obstacles and personal challenges. These men hope that other fathers will be encouraged by their stories – their sense of being on a journey and not needing to know everything about fatherhood before getting involved in caring for their children. Their message is one of hope: “You can do it!” The fathers also hope that their stories will inspire practitioners to find new ways to include fathers in child care decisions, programs, and family services.
The men speak in a personal way to fathers as well as to boys and other men considering becoming fathers. Presented in six interview segments (about 6 minutes each) with a screening guide to facilitate discussion, the DVD is an effective tool for professional development workshops and courses in family health, social services, law, early childhood education, and youth care.
