Overview
This workshop provides an overview of how Barbara and Heather use the person centered approach in working with children. They will also describe the Kids’ Workshop™ that they developed. The Kids’ Workshop builds upon the principles of humanistic psychology, including Carl Rogers, Virginia Satir, and Virginia Axline. They will consider how the qualities of unconditional positive regard, trust, empathy, and congruence can be applied when working with children. Their philosophy is that children have these qualities within themselves when they are born and, with nurturing and support, they can express these qualities and keep them as they grow. Participants will engage in a variety of experiential activities that can be used with children in therapy and other contexts. The workshop will demonstrate how to work with children from different cultures around the world. It concludes with an opportunity for questions and discussion.
