Children often use imaginary friends as a safe place to grow and try out their skills. An imaginary friend is rarely contrary, which is soothing.
Dear Lisi: This may sound silly, but my son has an imaginary friend that he talks to all the time. He’s four-years-old and very bright. It’s taken me about six months to realize that he had this friend because they usually “hang out” when my son is alone, in his room or the playroom.
So, don’t worry. It’s all normal. Your son is showing his creativity. You should feel so good that your toddler trusts you to share his friend with you. So, yes, include the friend in conversation, play, even in tasks such as brushing teeth.Dear Lisi: My wife and her best friend started a small business during COVID to keep themselves busy and from going stir-crazy. It surprisingly took off and has become their full-time gig ever since.
