Type: article
Abstract: 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.
