Abstract
Functional hoarseness in children, characterized by a persistent voice change without an underlying physical cause, often results from stress, behavioral issues, or family dynamics. This article explores the efficacy of short-term play therapy and family dynamic counseling as therapeutic interventions for managing this condition. Play therapy offers a creative outlet for children to express emotions and alleviate anxiety, while family dynamic counseling addresses familial stressors and improves communication within the family unit. Integrating these approaches provides a holistic treatment strategy, addressing both individual and environmental factors contributing to functional hoarseness. This comprehensive method enhances emotional well-being and supports vocal health, offering a balanced solution for managing functional hoarseness in children.
