"Positive play experiences develop positive emotional well-being.
Through play and imagination, a child can fulfill wishes and overcome fears of unpleasant experiences.
Play helps the child master the environment. When children feel secure, safe, successful and capable, they acquire important components of positive emotional health.
Sharing play experiences also can create strong bonds between parent and child." {From Jane K Frobose Review: A. Bruce, CSU Extension Specialist, Child Development/Parenting Specialist}
