It’s a normal part of growing up but for the parents of children that have imaginary friends it can be quite creepy and even verge on frightening.
A couple of my nieces and nephews seem to have good and friendly relationships with their imaginary friends but my cousins find themselves double checking corridors and behind doors as they listen to their children. They said it was all the more bewildering as they don’t know how to discourage the friendship or how to react especially when the dialogue between their children and the imaginary friend becomes quite intense and over-familiar.
Do children simply repeat phrases and conversations they hear between adults or one-sided conversation they pickup when their parents are on the telephone?
Creepy!!
