CEDRICK

Résumé du livre

"The early issues of the journal Relational Child & Youth Care Practice (and, more recently, CYC-Online) have included a refreshing, irreverent, tell-it-like-it-is series by one “Cedrick” who had regaled readers for some years with his outpourings, some topical and critical, others laugh-out-loud funny, clearly modelled on his thinking and experiences in child and youth care.Working in this field, all of us can dredge up stories, experiences, opinions, illustrations, from our past or present, which bear repeating. Few are as entertaining – and provocative – as this too-short collection from Cedrick. Pity. We live and work in this profession which brings us into daily contact with remarkable human events which stir our thoughts, our hearts, or our funny bones. Some of these encourage us to brush up our awareness, our knowledge and skills, and all areas of our practice. Others just remind us of our humanness and of the privileges we enjoy in simply sharing in the the lives of young people and their families and neighbour hoods – the puzzles, hurts, contradictions, struggles, challenges, successes ... and the laughs." from forward.
