7 Dimensions: Children’s Emotional Well-being

7 Dimensions: Children’s Emotional Well-being introduces a framework to help adults make simple sense of the plethora of information available about young people’s feelings, thoughts and actions. Based on up-to-date neuroscience and positive psychology, the 7 Dimensions framework offers practitioners such as educators, psychologists and counsellors a way to understand and support the emotional well-being of young people. It is equally relevant for parents as they facilitate the emotional development of their children.
