Parents can, indeed should, occupy an essential role in alleviating the emotional and behavioural problems of their children. Although it is impractical and unethical for parents to carry out Play Therapy with their own children, it is highly desirable that they use non-directive play as a part of their parenting skills.<\/p>\n
