Comprehensive Affective Education Program for Children and Adolescents: Aligned with International Recommendations

This book presents a comprehensive program of affective education, aligned with the international recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF. Designed for children and adolescents from diverse cultural backgrounds, it offers a global approach to emotional, relational, and social development, grounded in care, dignity, and respect for every individual. This program supports educators, teachers, health professionals, social workers, and parents in implementing sessions tailored to each developmental stage—from early childhood to adulthood. It explores key areas such as developmental milestones, emotions, consent, relationships, the body, sexual health, and violence prevention, while integrating cultural and legal considerations specific to each country. Combining scientific rigor with accessible pedagogy, this guide helps practitioners strengthen their skills, adopt an appropriate professional stance, and create a trusting climate that supports learning. More than a manual, it is a universal tool to promote health, equality, responsibility, and inner freedom among younger generations.
