Supporting factors for the success of the therapy include teacher support, active parental involvement, and a conducive school environment. Meanwhile, inhibiting factors include limited teacher time, lack of parental understanding of the therapy, and the emotional condition of teachers that is not always stable.Based on the results, the holding therapy method can be an effective strategy in managing the emotions of early childhood.
