8th monograph: Educational and social support for trans * people in childhood and adolescence
Urrea Monclús, A. & Sara Pérez Rodríguez

Much of society continues to associate sexual identity with the genitals, that is, you are a boy / boy / man when you have a penis and you are a girl / girl / woman when you have a vulva. However, a person’s gender identity and sexual identity go beyond the appreciation of their external genitalia. Discrimination, exclusion and violence on the grounds of sexual identity, gender identity and gender expression often occur in our society. The well-being of trans * people depends, to a large extent, on the social understanding of the perspective of sexual identity, gender identity and gender expression of a positive view of human diversity. It is necessary to change from a pathological approach to a diversity approach in accompanying trans children and adolescents.

7th monograph: Child and Adolescent Agency and Digital Activism in Education for the Rights of the Child and Global Citizenship
Martínez Sainz, G .; Barry, M .; Urrea Monclús, A.

This monograph presents some recommendations on how to strategically and meaningfully incorporate digital technologies into Global Citizenship Education (ECG), which aims to empower students to get involved and take an active role in both local, national and global, to face and solve global challenges, and thus, become contributors to a more just, peaceful, tolerant, inclusive, secure and sustainable world (UNESCO, 2018, p. 6). There are key principles of the ECG that coincide with the emerging work on Digital Citizenship Education (EDC), which are identified in the present study: rights, relationships, responsibilities, identity, agency, and commitment. Teachers and educators need to be aware of the challenges that digital technologies pose in order to help children and adolescents navigate these challenges and overcome the risks involved.

6th monograph: Children and adolescents in foster care and adoption: proposals for their educational attention in primary and high schools centres
Jiménez-Morago, J.M.; Carrera, P.; Cortada, N.

The school must facilitate the incorporation of the children and adolescents in foster care and adoption through a personalized foster care plan, which will include an initial assessment that guides educational care. A proactive plan for protection against discrimination would also be advisable, as well as a flexible evaluation system and positive disciplinary measures. Good communication and co-operation with the family or those responsible for the minor and coordination with the counseling service are also essential. The learning process will be greatly facilitated if there is a positive bond between the minor and his teacher, so it is essential to respond from understanding, support and affection, establishing clear and firm boundaries predictable and avoiding sanctions that may be perceived as rejection.

4th monograph: The Academic Resilience Approach in the promotion of young people’s mental health. Proposals for its use in schools
Hart, A.; Fernández-Rodrigo, L.; Molina, M.C.; Izquierdo, R. & Maitland, J.

Young people who enjoy good mental health are more likely to have a better academic performance and better social development. Faced with the increase in mental health problems among adolescents in Catalonia, the Academic Resilience Approach (ARA) is presented as a strategic practice for secondary education centers that involve the entire educational community. The purpose is to help young people, especially the most vulnerable, to achieve a more optimal academic performance, despite the circumstances in which they are found. The proposals to integrate ARA into secondary schools are based on the redefinition of the activities that are already being developed and on the design of new educational practices considering the elements of the Resilience Framework.

3th monograph: E-parenting: A review of the literature
Rodrigo, M.J.; Balsells, M.A.; Vaquero, E.; Suárez, A. & Fernández-Rodrigo, L.

The presence of the internet in all areas of everyday life as an information search tool has also highlighted parenting and family education. Families use the internet to look for help in carrying out parenting duties and to train themselves in parenting.  Research is beginning to show evidence of the way in which these e-parenting practices should be undertaken effectively and efficiently, although a number of questions remain to be looked at more closely: What type of ICT tool is considered when developing e-parenting programs and resources?; What are the aims and characteristics of e-parenting programs and resources?; What are the benefits and limitation of online programs and resources for participating families?
