DOES YOUR
CHILD HAVE AN IMAGINARY FRIEND?
DID YOU HAVE ONE AS A CHILD?
The imagination can be a child’s best friend or
worst enemy. From imaginary playmates to scary night-time
monsters, the world of make belief is a very important and real
part of growing up. Pretend play also develops self-confidence
and self control, as well as increasing the ability to consider
other people’s feelings. This kind of play also helps children
work out fears about difficult situations.
How many of us, as parents, are guilty of telling
our children that their imaginary friend is not real? The friend
may not only be real but could possibly be a ghost, guide or
even a deceased grandparent?
Do you ever wonder if any of those bad dreams, those images seen
in the night, those imaginary friends, may be ghosts that, for
whatever reason, have shown themselves to a child?
