Children's Social and Emotional Wellbeing in Schools by Debbie Watson

Children's Social and Emotional Wellbeing in Schools by Debbie Watson

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.

"An in-depth analysis of terms that we all use, brilliantly explainedThe reader is helped to understand the bigger picture of what we need to do to address children's social and emotional wellbeing in our schools." Mick Waters, Professor of Education, Wolverhampton University
