This comprehensive review highlights the importance of school adjustment in child development, focusing on the roles of teachers, parents, and peers. It also covers preventive interventions to support students' adjustment, making it essential for researchers, educators, parents, and professionals working with children.

This book offers a thorough, up-to-date review of the literature on school adjustment, covering key processes involved in major educational transitions-from elementary (1st grade) to secondary (junior high) and high school. Adopting a preventive approach, it provides real-world examples of interventions aimed at promoting successful school adjustment, that would later lead to students' academic and personal flourishing. The book also discusses significant challenges that researchers, practitioners, and parents need to address. Readers will gain both a deeper theoretical understanding of the importance and process of school adjustment and practical guidance on how to foster it in diverse, real-life contexts. Perfect for educators, psychologists, and caregivers, this resource blends research with actionable insights to support student success.

Moshe Israelashvili published over 120 papers and co-edited several books, including: The Cambridge Handbook of International Prevention Science (2017, Cambridge University Press), Youth Without Family to Lean On (2022, Routledge), and Prevention of Maladjustment to Life-Course Transitions (2023, Springer).
