E-book Life Skills and Adolescent Mental Health : Can Kids Be Taught to Master Life?
Life mastery. Savour the words. Who doesn’t want to master life? And who would disagree that young people of today, in particular those experience so much stress and pressure, might benefit from learning life skills? Where better to start than in primary school and lower secondary schools that are attended by 99.88 per cent of all Norwegian children? Raising doubts about mental health and the life mastery skills that are now being introduced in Norwegian schools may appear to be a little mistrustful. But that is precisely the aim of this book. I would also argue that it is extremely important, as life mastery is an appealing concept that we perceive as something that “everyone” is in favour of. However, life skills are far from being as uncomplicated, side-effect-free and politically neutral as they may appear at first glance. It is likely, however, that the arguments in favour of life mastery probably need a little boost.
