The emotional experiences of Canadian schoolchildren are considered within the context of healthy social development in this book, which is aimed at students and practitioners of educational psychology. Bosacki (Brock U., Ontario) uses interviews of these children to connect images of self and social relationships to the learning process. The author maintains that emotional expression can be vital to developing social skills such as negotiating, maintaining personal relationships and even parenting.
