"You will no longer see your children in the same way." - Christophe Andre, author of Feelings and Moods

At the age of five or six, something incredible happens: a transition wherein children become aware of themselves, of the passage of time and their own mortality. This moment is what psychologist Philippe Presles calls the "leap of consciousness," and it is what defines us as humans. In The Incredible Journey of Childhood, Dr. Presles explores this transformation and reveals how a deep understanding of the process is crucial for parents to help their children grow up happy and healthy.

Unpacking this pivotal moment, Dr. Presles examines the six factors in child development of which all parents should be aware, and which happen around this "leap of consciousness": the grasp of language and internal dialogue; the surfacing of memories; the recognition of mortality; the discovery of self-image; the awareness of relationships with others; and the understanding of good and bad. Through concrete examples, Dr. Presles offers practical advice to parents in how to recognize and work through this seminal phase in a child's development. Drawing on research from thinkers ranging from Darwin and Freud to Jean Piaget and Oliver Sacks, Presles's humanist and optimistic approach to child development and parenting presents crucial steps in a clear and accessible way. It is essential reading for any parent.

Author's biography - Versilio


Versilio is an editor who publishes authors of novels and non-fiction works, both literary and commercial.

Versilio’s vocation is to concentrate on a restricted number of projects in order to be able to accompany them from their initial conception to the final manuscript, thus ensuring both their digital and paper editions with its partners (Robert Laffont, Albin Michel, Flammarion, Gallimard…).

In order to satisfy the ever-changing needs of authors and readers within a constantly evolving market not only in terms of both communication and direct distribution of information, but also with regard to social networks, Versilio created the Slog. A combination of a S[ite] and a [B]log, a Slog is designed to showcase an author's creative world, to keep readers permanently up to date with their favourite authors and give them a chance to share and discuss their interests with an online community.

Furthermore, in line with the growing demand from online bookstores and the explosion of new media and social networks, Versilio's team includes not only all competences necessary for digital publishing (software engineering, designing, production, marketing) but also for the production of audio and video contents contributing to their promotion and enrichment (podcasts, author interviews, book trailers, advertisements and animations).

Thanks to the implementation of these new solutions in their dynamic set-up Versilio regularly collaborates with leading players in various fields (including Amazon, Kobo, Fnac, Google, Apple, Twitter, &c.) to promote both their authors and their authors’ works.

Versilio shares offices with Susanna Lea Associates in London, Paris and New York, and therefore benefits from an international perspective on the world of books, and the challenges brought about by the evolution of digital publishing.
