REVIEWS

By Stephen Armstrong

Alanna Jones is a skilled recreational therapist who has compiled an appealing set of 104 games and activities that common employees, recreational therapists, and nearly educators and instruct counselors (in substantially disconnect classrooms for behavioremotional disorders) preserve help. The paperback is ordered hooked on activities that build (1) teamwork, (2) self-esteem, (3) communication, (4) self-discovery, (5) anger management, and (6) coping skills. Very nearly every one of activities are designed for elementary instruct aged children, nevertheless Ms. Jones, beneath all pastime, presents variations–either in the pastime itself or in the intended age convene.

The crucial part of using these activities occurs considering the pastime is ready. This is the debriefing part of the pastime. It is totally obligatory to do this debriefing in order that the youngster(s) come at nearly understanding of the pastime just completed, and its possible meaning to them. It is tacit that the reader is comfortable with this style of debriefing, and has the skills to arbitrate in case the pastime or debriefing are going south.

The things I liked concerning this paperback are: (1) Ms. Jones energy and helpful thinking concerning youngsters and her aspiration to endow with them with challenging and caring moments (2) She explains all pastime or spirited altogether, provides lists of materials desirable, gives nearly counsel on structuring the pastime (3) This is therapy in raid, so it attracts the interest and energy of the youngsters.

I had two minor questions concerning nearly of this paperback: (1) Self-esteem comes from accomplishing something, and I notion self-esteem activities were the weakest section of the paperback and (2) In have to do with to anger management, these activities have got to be regarded as an adjunct, not the central being, of an anger management therapy program. When readers have a good therapeutic anger management therapy program at their flair (in their classroom, Ms. Jones activities preserve make easier.

I was impressed by Ms. Jones medley and consider it long for make easier counselors, therapists, coaches, and recreational therapists.
