She prefers solitary play but has an active imagination for playing make believe with her friend, Olivia (age 4) who likes to take control and can sometimes be mean. Jordan (age 5½) likes to play with Zach (age 4½), but Zach always ends up getting hurt because Jordan is aggressive and plays too rough. Audrey (age 3) runs to his rescue.
