ABSTRACT

The primary focus for Session 2 is to begin preparing parents to conduct their 30-minute home play sessions by reviewing reflective responding and familiarizing parents with the basic principles for play sessions. Next, the therapist emphasizes the importance of structuring and setting the stage for conducting a successful home play session, which includes parents gathering the special toys needed for their filial play kit and deciding on a consistent time and place to hold their weekly play sessions that will ensure privacy and freedom from distractions from other family members.
