In her podcasts and books, Caroline Goldman addresses fundamental educational dimensions without filter. Illustrating herself as a psychologist for children and adolescents, the daughter of Jean-Jacques Goldman relies on her experience to denounce the media untruths of “positive education”. “What is wrong with this method is the denial of the psychic need of children which concerns neither love nor explanations, which concerns the encounter with educational limits and the learning of frustration”analyzed the psychotherapist for “RTS” last year.
And to add not without bitterness: “To deny that this reality exists is to put children in suffering because a third of their psychic needs are not heard”. Advocating the “Time Out” method, Caroline Goldman knows that she is not unanimous with her speech: “Positive parenting is to love, be tender, encourage, congratulate, explain the world to the child, but it is also to offer him educational limits, and in this case non-violent punishments when the explanation does not is not enough. And any parent knows that the explanation is not enough”.

In any case, Ophélie Meunier shares her point of view on the question as she recently underlined during an interview granted to our colleagues from “Lou”. As a reminder, the journalist and her husband Mathieu Vergne are at the head of a recomposed tribe. From their love were born two children, Joseph (3 years old) and Valentine (1 year old). For his part, the famous producer is also the happy father of two teenagers born from a previous relationship.
At home, the couple is very strict on certain rules. “Me, I’m more for a tough education and telling children what they need to hear. I was raised like this and I’m fine with it“, revealed Ophélie Meunier before emphasizing: “It is important to set a framework and limits“. So much so that his children take malicious pleasure in imitating him in his sermons: “Oh no, that’s not possible! It is not possible ! You don’t talk to me like that!“
On a daily basis, Ophélie Meunier wishes that “communication between parents and children is polite“.”Sometimes it blows up, I can assure you, it blows up often, several times a week, but I still try to tell myself that we try to talk to each other well.“, she revealed. Rare confidences that have certainly echoed thousands of parents.
