Here is a systematic, step-by-step approach to developing student leadership in elementary and middle schools. Children Helping Children is a trainer’s manual for counselors, teachers, administrators and others who want to enhance the learning climate in their schools. It provides a sequence of organized training sessions and activities which prepare students for such helping roles as student assistant, tutor, special friend and small group leader. Beginning, intermediate and advanced helping projects are also described.

Along with the student handbook, Becoming a Friendly Helper, these two practical how-to-do-it books provide a basis for a comprehensive student peer facilitator program. They enable young students to become friendly helpers and better learners.
