I remember when my mom and I, were watching this television show, or was it a movie on tv called {Drop Dead Fred ) it was about a little girl who had imaginary friend. Why was it called (Drop Dead Fred )I don't know I didn't write it. I see nothing wrong with imaginary friends as long as it go on beyond whats healthy. If little Joey or Jamie is spending twenty four seven with nobody but their imaginary friends

Mom or dad should step in and say don't you think you should widen your circle of friends. The parents should also help to develop some real friends. " Let me ask you something," when you were younger
didn't you have toys were you had to use your imagination. growing up my sister and I and our friends played with dolls, teens have their video games. The elderly have their soap there are all imaginary world the actor and actress are real. So what is the different. Walt Disney had lots of imaginary characters.

Knowledge is great don't get wrong, but the imagination should be encourage. It is the dreamer who comes up with different inventions. The child who has imaginary friends will I say he or she is very creative. Take the author of different children books. Lets take ride flying elephants, Now we all in real life elephants can't fly. Do know what name is Dumbo. , J K Rolling wrote Harry Potter. What is wrong with acting silly once in while.

I have put together a doll house from a kit., and I plan to make the furniture for it. Would I have some imaginary people live in it. Probably. Will someday I would like to be author. Some children have stuff animals will what is the different between a stuff animal and imaginary pet. Everybody has some imagination and I hope we never out grow it. If your teenager spending to much time play fan sty video game that can be bad, or the some of elder people who can watch hour on end of their Soap Opera Tv. One soap might be fine.

No your child is not going develop multiple personality disorder. According to one book we all have multiple personality: Happy, sad, angry, "So let me ask you something." When you angry are you going to act the same way as if you were happy, So where dose multiple personality disorder come from.
Tommy, over there is told over, and over, big boys don't cry. Susie, is other personality will take over when he is unhappy or sad. Carol was always told since she was little is not lady like to get angry. So when she angry maybe Sam her other personality takes over. Thats the disorder. Imagination is a wonderful thing and I hope we never out grow it.
