First, it should be noted that this homework planner is meant to accompany a treatment planner. That being said, it offers enough guidance at the beginning of each chapter that those who are experienced in therapeutic work with children or social work should be able to take advantage of the exercises without the treatment planner.There were several points in this that I was impressed by. The introductions very helpfully included the goals, the diagnoses and problems that the exercises may assist with, and the age ranges that seem most appropriate for the activities. The contents also appear to be well-designed to help kids try to explore and understand a wide range of feelings and concretize them such that they can be more effectively managed in therapy. I can easily see how such exercises would help the therapist learn valuable things about a client as well as discover directions to take in the therapy sessions.There are a few small points which I think could be better. Mainly, in the sections which require pictures being drawn or pasted in as part of the homework, there is not enough space for a child to comfortably draw. A narrow 4-inch band across a page is not enough for a kid to draw his or her entire family. I understand that the writers probably didn't want to put one sentence on the page and leave the rest blank, but these are "ready to copy" and I think it would have been a better choice. The therapist will have to tell the child to use a different piece of paper or risk some frustration on the child's part.Also, there are some activities which seem to be mixed in terms of the targeted ages and the demands of the activity.
