Treatment of sleep problems in young children: A case series report of a cognitive–behavioral play intervention.

Abstract: Sleep problems and bedtime resistance are common in young children. Treatment is critical because sleep problems typically persist, and insufficient sleep is related to worse outcomes. Current behavioral treatments do not work directly with the child to reduce anxiety and distress at bedtime. Cognitive–behavioral play therapy is a treatment approach designed to teach coping skills to young children by combining cognitive–behavioral therapy with pretend play, a developmentally appropriate intervention mode.

“…Thus, these findings highlight the importance of examining (and supporting) both cognitive and affective features of children’s pretend play. Indeed, although the majority of play‐based intervention efforts have focused on cognitive play features, such as the frequency of pretend play and quality of imagination (Fehr, Russ, & Ievers‐Landis, 2016; Thibodeau, Gilpin, Brown, & Meyer, 2016; Tucker, Schieffer, Wills, Hull, & Murphy, 2017), this study suggests that affective play processes can and should be harnessed to promote children’s adaptive functioning (Fehr & Russ, 2016; Hoffmann & Russ, 2016; Moore & Russ, 2008). For example, ongoing work may clarify when aggressive affect themes in young children’s pretend play become a risk indicator that warrants supportive efforts to help children differentiate playful, safe expressions of aggressive impulses from potentially problematic aggressive behaviors in the social world.…”

“…Play therapy is included as one method of behavioral therapy under the name of cognitivebehavioral play therapy (CBPT). CBPT is an approach designed to teach coping skills to children by combining cognitive behavioral therapy with pretend play [33]. This program is good for use in school-age children who have had ADHD for <6 years, do not have siblings diagnosed with ADHD, and have sleep disorders.…”

“…This includes measures such as a consistent bedtime routine, a dark and quiet bedroom, limiting technology use before bed and independence in falling asleep ( 25 , 123 ). Other therapy options for managing sleep disorders in children with neurodisability include behavioral strategies such as play-based therapy ( 124 ) and medications such as melatonin.…”
