Freud

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigmund_Freud

According to Freud, play allows children to feel in control of a situation. For example, the child with the new sibling is probably not allowed to hurt the baby; however, he can hit, throw or kick his doll and this allows him to feel in control. Freud maintains that children need to feel they have some control, since it helps them to deal with reality (Kraus, 38).
