Abstract
This paper presents the results of a qualitative study on socio-emotional wellbeing in Chilean students aimed at identifying, from the students' own perspective, their needs and how educational contexts foster-or not-an integrated social-emotional development. Main results show the importance of interpersonal relationships within educational contexts and how they foster affective environments and determine how each child copes with and represents his or her school experience. Lack of non-violent conflict resolution strategies and spaces characterized by optimism were identified. Finally, ways to promote school attachment between students, teachers, and the school community are discussed.
