Les héréditantes mathématiques (épisode 347)

La relation que les parents entretiennent avec la lecture et les mathématiques pourrait ne pas être sans conséquences sur les compétences de leurs enfants..

Si pour certaines personnes, l’évocation de calculs, de formules, d’algèbre ou encore la pratique de la lecture représente une forme de hantise ; est-ce que cette relation conflictuelle peut laisser des traces sur leurs enfants ?
