What do children need to cope with the everyday risks they encounter and the demands life makes of them? How can we help them to become accepted and to have a feeling of belongingness? What imparts in children mental health and keeps them healthy? The answers to these questions are provided by Aaron Antonovsky´s concept of salutogenesis that was conceived over 30 years ago for just this purpose. The central tenet is the feeling of coherence, which is supported by a stable feeling of self-value and belongingness. The goal is to further children´s trust in their own capabilities and to practice active creativity in social interactions. The health scientist and psychotherapist Rüdiger-Felix Lorenz and the educationist Christina Krause provide easily accessible and intuitive suggestions for parents and anyone active in education for furthering the mental health of their children.
