ABSTRACT

Play therapy is a form of counseling or psychotherapy that uses play to communicate with and help people, especially children, to prevent or resolve psychosocial challenges. This is thought to help them towards better social integration, growth and development, emotional modulation, and trauma resolution. Hospitalized children will regress with the skills that they had previously mastered. This concept helps to minimize the emotional trauma to the children and their parents for better adjustment during hospital stay.

Key words: Effectiveness ,play therapy, injection
