True friends and functional families can provide that to a very great extent. Psychotherapy consists in large part of providing such a place for the client to explore the self. And children's literature isn't just for children. I still have fond memories of reading Maurice Sendak's "Where the Wild Things Are" as an adult.

I still like reading children's and fantasy books. In fact, I never gave my children or grandchildren any book, I hadn't read first. I also insist on children's books and poetry to lend themselves to reading out loud. Language has rhythm and I expect to hear it, even in adult fiction! I'm glad that there are writers like Steven Brooks around, maybe I'll send his book to one of my great grandchildren. As a child, I too loved books that took me far, far away from the ordinary world.
