Your Toddler's Imaginary Friend
Imaginary friends can be a
positive influence on your child.
Learn why, and get tips on helping
your toddler through this pretend
play.
Many toddlers (about 65 percent) form
an imaginary friendship between the
ages of 3 and 5. Fortunately, there is
usually no harm in this. In fact, research
shows that having an imaginary friend is
linked to heightened creativity later in life,
as well as strong verbal skills and a good
understanding of social interactions.
Pretend play with imaginary friends
gives kids an opportunity to explore the
complexities of the world in a safe
environment. Consequently, imaginary
friendships tend to develop during the
period when toddlers are just starting to
form their own identities and to figure out
the boundaries between what is real and
what is fantasy.

Gone Like My
Childhood
Remembering those days
When days were bright
Trees were green - soothing to the
eyes
Birds flying and chirping
Flowers were brilliantly colourful
I used to chase the butterflies
In my childhood fun;
Green was my playground
There I used to roll and lay
Just to see the sky
Vast blue empty space Scattered white clouds
Like angels from the heaven
A place to seeIllogically logical childhood dreams -
* They give you a glimpse into
your
c h i ld ‟s
in te r n a l ,
emotional world.
Parenting Imaginary Friends
It‟s important to play along and
not make your child feel
embarrassed about his or her
imaginary friend. Here are some
tips:

T reat
your
c h i ld ‟s
im a g in a r y
fr ie n d
w i th
respect. If your child asks you to
move out of the way to make
room for his friend, comply if you
can.

Follow your child‟s lead
when joining his pretend
play. Be careful not to take over
or add too much. This is an
opportunity for your child to
make up stories and to learn by
exploring his own thoughts and
feelings.
happen, but let‟s help Dynamo clean up the
mess.”
Don‟t be concerned about your toddler's
imaginary friend unless the friendship causes
your child to avoid meaningful interactions with
other children, or to experience distress in the
company of nonimaginary peers. If such a
situation arises, you might consider consulting
a professional, as your child‟s imaginary friend
might mask anxiety over real-life social
situations.
Interestingly, children hold on to their imaginary
friends longer than you might think. Some
research has shown that children as old as age
7 may have at least one imaginary friend. As
children mature, though, and gain the social,
cognitive, and emotional skills they
need to navigate their complex worlds,
the majority of them eventually come
to
realize that these friends are “just
pretend.”
BY
Use the imaginary friend‟s
actions to your advantage. If
your child blames his imaginary
friend for his misbehaviour or
mistake, use it as a teaching
opportunssity. For example, if
your son‟s imaginary superhero,
Dynamo, spilled the juice, you
can say, “That‟s okay, mistakes
Then touch of breeze felt like
Caress of mother - nature;
Standing and looking at a ground
Full of dust and broken stones
Laying there in confusion like this
era
Over there few children are
playing
Trying to compensate the green
By there innocent jubilant
greenery
No chirping birds
No butterflies roaming
Try to find some flowers
But I hardly find one
Trees are green but not green
enough
Covering by the dust
Like hunted by disease;
Sky is now square like my
window
Can see it over the neighbour's
roof No soothing breeze
Rather nature's angry warm wind
Dust folded earth
In the malady of this period;
Where are those days?
My green childhood yearsGone with the time
And never to come back
We are developing though
We are developed We make skyscrapers of various designs
But can't plant a tree
Time is money
So no time to water it
So we place plastic plants in our houses
Just to resemblance the nature
As I put a picture of my
childhood
Just beside my bed.
