Tout commence par un désir : "faire ensemble un enfant" mais justement lequel ? Que de méconnaissances réciproques autour d'un désir d'enfant ! Puis, vient la naissance avec le dur apprentissage de devenir parents : du nourrissage de départ au sevrage relationnel quand le bébé passe de la maman à ... à la mère. - L'intervention du papa pour limiter une trop grande symbiose avec la maman. - Le passage du papa au père pour affirmer les valeurs et les règles. Si l'amour de l'un ou de l'autre parent est fondamental, il n'est pas suffisant pour élever un enfant. Il faut y ajouter la qualité d'une relation toujours en évolution, pour accompagner un enfant en trouvant chaque fois la bonne distance pour ne pas trop faire pour lui mais faire avec lui. Durant l'adolescence, nous pouvons confirmer une relation d'échange et mutualité plutôt qu'une relation à sens unique. Les propos toniques et vivifiants de l'auteur nous incitent à rester des parents vivants, en devenir, en mutation et en expansion.

Dans toute rencontre, dans tout partage, nous offrons à l'autre ce que nous sommes. Or beaucoup d'entre nous ont des exigences redoutables à l'égard d'eux-même, des conduites de mépris, des attitudes de rejet, des doutes, des dévalorisations, des conduites d'autoprivation. - La pire des solitudes est de s'ennuyer en sa propre compagnie. La pire des pauvretés n'est pas dans ce qui manque mais dans l'ignorance de tout ce que nous avons. Dans cette conférence Jacques Salomé montre quelques chemins possibles pour accepter de mieux s'écouter, de reconnaître plus vite les sentiments réels qui nous habitent au lieu de produire ce qu'il nomme des "sentiments écrans" qui nous coupent de nous même et de l'autre. Il nous invite à mieux entendre les multiples langages qui circulent en nous, à mieux relationner avec soi-même, à mieux s'aimer et être un meilleur compagnon pour soi.
