Children’s Social and Emotional Wellbeing in Schools: A Critical Perspective

Debbie Watson (School for Policy Studies, University of Bristol),Carl Emery (Resolutions First),Phillip Bayliss (Graduate School of Education, University of Exeter),with,Margaret Boushel

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.
