Working with Children in Groups

Authors: Kathryn & David Geldard

published by Palgrave Macmillan, London, 2001

About the book:

Filled with ideas, activities, games and work‑sheets for use in group programs, as well as examples of complete programs for particular problems, such as domestic violence and low self‑esteem, this highly accessible and practical book will be an invaluable resource for anyone wishing to run groups for children.

Drawing from their extensive experience of running children's groups and training group facilitators, Kathryn Geldard and David Geldard outline and discuss the entire process of running a group, including the initial planning and group design, assessment of the suitability of children for the group, running the group and the counselling and facilitation skills useful for group leaders, and finally the post‑group evaluation. They also look at the benefits and disadvantages of groups, the types of groups available and the theoretical approaches employed in group work. 

With its effective outcomes, relative speed and reduced cost the group format is becoming increasingly popular for work with children in counselling and educational settings.
