Sequel to Emotional First-Aid for Children, this is a guide for teachers, counsellors and parents to help children release their emotional stress and support children to talk openly about their problems. Includes step-by-step games and exercises for encouraging children's growth in self-awareness and in reclaiming their self-esteem. Provides guidance for planning personal development and counselling sessions; an introduction to sand-play therapy; work with art, drama and music; Gestalt methods, relaxation and visualisation formats and a chapter on care for the carers. The authors are ex-teachers who have been working as counsellors for many years and now teach emotional release counselling around Australia.
