Description for Children's Social and Emotional Wellbeing in Schools
Hardcover. This book is a challenge to the concept of wellbeing as applied to children, suggesting that it should be understood at the level of the child, rather than a list of things that are needed in order to live well. Num Pages: 288 pages. BIC Classification: JKSB1; JNH. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 240 x 174 x 21. Weight in Grams: 570.
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.
