Families are changing rapidly. It is now common for children to live with people other than their two biological or adopted parents. Single parents, divorced parents, widowed parents, foster parents, grandparents, step-parents, older siblings, and a variety of other parent figures are becoming more common today. For a variety of reasons, many children experience several family types throughout their school age years. Changes within a family are stressful for children and adults, however a child’s stress can negatively affect his or her performance at school. Small counseling groups have been beneficial for children in stressful situations. Research indicates small counseling groups, geared generically for children experiencing a wide range of changes with their families, will be beneficial for children undergoing family change.
