This book addresses guidance and counselling needs of children and adolescents in school settings. Acknowledging that most issues which children and adolescents face do not reach clinical settings and are often addressed by primary caregivers, the book focuses on specific strategies that primary caregivers can use. With an overview of mental health concerns that arise during these developmental stages, the book focuses specifically on the roles that parents and teachers can play. Home and school together play vital roles in the lives of children and adolescents. The book thus recognises the need for them to work together and uses examples from the field to build contexts in which school children and adolescents grow. This is attempted in the backdrop of theories of psychology and mental health therapies. The volume tries to bridge the gap between theory and practical applications of mental health in everyday life. This book would be useful to the students, researchers, and teachers working in the fields of education, psychology, development studies, social work, and sociology. It would also be an invaluable companion to policy-makers, professionals from government and non-government organisations working around education and social development.
Based on many years of teaching experience and drawing on her research among rural and urban children, this book is addressed to students of education and psychology, and can be used as a core text. Dr Ranganathan discusses the theories of education and the philosophical orientation of important thinkers. She studies the physical, emotional, social cognitive and moral development of children, as also their needs and interests. She also deals with the situation of exceptional children. The author has taken care to ensure the book is sensitive to issues of gender, class and caste. Each chapter ends with a summary of the main ideas dealt with therein. The book also contains a select reading list.
