"The period from birth to 12 years is crucial in a child’s development and can significantly impact future educational success, resilience and participation in society. The second edition of Health and Wellbeing in Childhood provides readers with a comprehensive foundation in health and wellbeing education across key priority areas, covering physical, social and emotional learning and development.

This edition has been thoroughly updated to include the latest research and resources, and incorporates expanded material on diversity, mental health and contemplative practice. A new instructor companion website, www.cambridge.edu.au/academic/healthandwellbeing, features a curated suite of reading materials, extension questions and sample responses designed to further reader's knowledge and skills for practice.
Each chapter features practical examples, case studies and links to curriculum documentation which illustrate the theory and draw connections to classroom practice, while key terms, reflective activities and end-of-chapter questions consolidate key concepts."--Back cover
