Therapists employ various highlights of interpersonal neurobiology (IPNB) of play experiences so that there is the achievement of benefits of play therapy to the fullest (Cozolino, 2014). The first highlight is the incorporation of IPNB of the developing brain and mind in play therapy. This highlight can help in the proper development of Jared’s brain and mind so that he can learn to control his anger. The other highlight explains the collaborative relationship between the therapist and the client. A good collaborative relationship can assist Jared to listen and follow the therapist’s instructions. The third highlight insists on the importance of play in families, clinics and schools (Cozolino, 2014). Play is therapeutic to developing brain and mind and hence Jared should not be denied this vital opportunity considering to his case.

A healthy mind platter containsengages in these activities on a daily basis, he enables his brain to coordinate and balance its activities (Mindplatter.com, 2015). Thus, the brain’s internal connections and connections with other people are strengthened. The seven activities include focus time, play time, connecting time, physical time, Time in, down time and sleep time.

Jared has never spent time with his parents. His father is not present or involved in his upbringing. Malita his mothercare for him. He has lacked the parental presence and love. This lack could explain the cause of developmental problems he is experiencing such as lack of social skills and awareness of feelings. He also can’t control anger, no wonder he hits and uses curse words at pre-kindergarten. The treatment goal would be to rectify Jared’s developmental problems and help him to control anger. The therapist should use the Seigel’s “mind platter” theory to help him solve his anger and developmental problems. The treatment should involve the implementation of the seven essential activities on a daily basis (Mindplatter.com, 2015). This treatment will strengthen his brain connections and connections with other people. Hence, solve his developmental and anger management problems.

The major strength of this theoretical approach is that it can solve the interrelationship problems affecting many children during their developmental milestones. Seigel’s “mind platter” theory provides seven essential activities that help to strengthen the child’s brain connections and connections with other people (Butera, 2014). The theoretical approach also allows the collaboration of all relevant participants to solve children’s mental problems. The weakness of this theoretical approach is that it may not be applicable to.to the client (Butera, 2014). The success of this theoretical approach depends on the commitment of all the participants.
