Which statement about member counts is supported when comparing adult and children groups?

• A. Adult groups have fewer members than children's groups.
• B. Adult groups have more members than children's groups.
• C. Children’s groups and adult groups have the same typical size.
• D. Member counts are independent of age group.

Answer: (C)

Group size in practice is guided by what supports effective participation and manageable dynamics, and that tends to be similar for both adults and children. Facilitators aim for a size where everyone can contribute without chaos, typically around six to eight participants. This makes turn-taking and peer interaction workable, keeps the session focused, and allows the facilitator to monitor each member’s needs. Because of these shared group-process needs, both adult and child groups are commonly formed with the same typical size, which is why that statement is supported. The other options conflict with the idea of these standardized group dynamics across ages and would imply a systematic difference or no relation to age at all, which doesn’t align with how groups are usually structured.
