Full Description:   

Since 1973 therapists have used Dr. Richard Gardner's Talking, Feeling, and Doing game in the course of their treatment of children.

The Helping, Sharing, and Caring Game is a derivative of the therapeutic instrument - specifically designed for children, their siblings, their parents, and other adults with whom children may be involved. The cards that Dr. Gardner considered most directly relevant to the therapeutic situations have been replaced with cards that are of education value, especially with regard to ethics and values that are important to impart to children. The cards also facilitate interpersonal communication.

The game provides an enjoyable game in the context of which important issues are introduced, issues which can then serve as points of departure for discussion with other players. These benefits of the game can be enjoyed by all children, whether they are in therapy or not. A wide variety of issues are focused on, for example, self-esteem, manners, safety, ethics, health, consideration for others, interpersonal relations, the value of learning, sympathy, empathy, and competence. The responses to the cards impart information and facilitate communication, both of which can enhance feelings of self-worth and improve interpersonal relationships.
