Children's Social and Emotional Wellbeing in Schools

Download or read book Children's Social and Emotional Wellbeing in Schools written by Watson, Debbie and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2012-01-18 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book challenges the concept of wellbeing as applied to children, particularly in a school-based context. Taking a post-structural approach, it suggests that wellbeing should be understood, and experiences revealed, at the level of the subjective child. This runs counter to contemporary accounts that reduce children's wellbeing to objective lists of things that are needed in order to live well. This book will be useful for academics and practitioners working directly with children, and anyone interested in children's wellbeing.
