"Play is a major avenue for learning how to manage anxiety. It gives the child a safe space where she can experiment at will, suspending the rules and constraints of physical and social reality. In play, the child becomes master rather than subject... Play allows the child to transcend passivity and to become the active doer of what happens around her."
-Alicia F. Lieberman, author, The Emotional Life
