What is it about?
Children need the security of healthy boundaries and the freedom to play as they wrestle through their difficulties and learn self-control. We conclude the article with a case study to flesh out treatment related to issues involved in the combination attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, family problems, and educational difficulties. We blend a family approach with an individual approach and include the use of play therapy.
