Professor Manjula Waniganayake Professor of Early Childhood Education Macquarie University, Australia Promoting Well-Being in the Pre-School Years opens the doors for positive education and positive psychology practices in early childhood education and provides an innovative theory and research-driven resource to build wellbeing in young children through social and emotional learning. A child's ability to successfully cope with day-to-day difficulties and challenges is a fundamental proficiency that should be prioritised alongside STEM and literacy in the classroom. Like academic skills, social and emotional competencies can be taught, and the earlier the better. This book provides essential know-how for educators and parents who want to support the development of healthy flourishing children.
