Youth academic stress should not be understood merely as an individual psychological issue because it is embedded in family, school, and social climates. Youth Development in Changing Chinese Societies includes eleven chapters that convey the same coherent message – we should pay more attention to the holistic development of students at all levels. The issue of how to reduce high academic stress in primary and secondary schools in the Chinese Mainland is an issue to be seriously considered. The examples described in this book can serve as prototypes for the promotion of holistic development in university students.
