ABSTRACT
In this chapter I explore a side-by-side model in which an art therapy group for two-to three-year-olds ran in parallel with a therapeutic parent support group. I describe the setting, a family centre within a Jewish charity. The therapy is contextualised in a discussion of relevant literature addressing art therapy groups with children and art therapy in the early years, as well as children and parent groups and simultaneous toddler and parent group work.
