Children's Social and Emotional Wellbeing in Schools: A Critical Perspective
Autor Debbie Watson, Carl Emery, Phil Bayliss Contribuţii de Margaret Boushel, Karen McInnesen Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 ian 2012
Many theories of children’s well-being reduce the task of nurturing it to checking items off an objective list. Offering a more complex and nuanced view of the concept, Debbie Watson, Carl Emery, and Phil Bayliss argue here that well-being should be understood at the level of the subjective child and that schools should foster well-being by promoting positive relationships and greater inclusivity. Shedding new light on this critical but often taken-for-granted topic, Children’s Social and Emotional Wellbeing in Schools holds important lessons for policymakers, practitioners, students, and researchers.

Recenzii
"This is a significant and timely publication. The authors have created an insightful, scholarly analysis that challenges many of the 'assumed truths' of social and emotional wellbeing. Theory, research, policy and practice are examined through a critical lens and the result is an engaging, thought-provoking read."
“An in-depth analysis of terms that we all use, brilliantly explained. The reader is helped to understand the bigger picture of what we need to do to address children's social and emotional well being in our schools.”--Mick Waters, Wolverhampton University
