Unlike IQ, emotional competence can be nurtured and developed, and is a key factor in physical and mental health, social competence, academic achievement and other aspects in the personal and social development of children and young people.

Promoting Emotional Education connects with the contemporary shift from an exclusively academic focus towards a more balanced and broader approach to education, with an emphasis on both academic and emotional literacy. The book suggests adopting educational practices which encourage feelings of emotional security, promote trusting and supportive relationships and reflect students' views and feelings; essential qualities for healthy personal and social development in children and young people. The contributors emphasise evidence-based practice, proposing various student-centred and emotion-focused approaches and strategies which have proven to be effective in improving the social and academic behaviour of children and young people with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties. These include student voice approaches, peer-mediated support strategies, personal and social education, nurture groups and aggression replacement training amongst others.

An illuminating read, this book will be of interest to school staff and professionals, psychologists, social workers, health workers, researchers and practitioners and anyone interested in developing innovative approaches to the promotion of emotional education among children and young people.

Industry Reviews
A group of leading researchers in the field of social, emotional and behavioural difficulties (SEBD) communicate their vision of what the ""E"" in SEBD really means... a very important book, giving the views and experiences of students with SEBD the long overdue place they should rightly have in the literature. The reader will be surprised by what these students have to say about their school experience and the valuable contribution they can make for themselves and their peers. After reading this book, the reader will appreciate that finally, 'emotional education', the often missing link, has been placed in its right context. A must read for teachers, practitioners and decision makers who want to make a difference in the education and life of these children and young people.
