title: Play intervention strategies for the Hispanic toddler with separation anxiety.
abstract: Constructive, therapeutic play is an effective nursing intervention for helping the toddler deal with separation anxiety, but, the play must transcend cultural barriers. Using Bowlby's theoretical framework to understand the response of separation anxiety in the toddler, culturally sensitive interventions of play that allow the Hispanic toddler to work through fears and express issues of separation are examined.
