This article is about learning, which the authors views as one of the most important possible ways whereby people can change themselves and their lives. It discusses what serious learning is and in what circumstances it takes place. This followed by a discussion of why children with psychosocial problems often do not learn enough from the events occurring in their lives. Concludes with reflections about how theories of learning can be used as a source of inspiration when professionals have to help children and young people to become better at learning from their lives, including some concrete suggestions as to how professionals can collaborate through organised pedagogical work and thus help children learn from their lives.
