If your toddler had/has an imaginary friend, how did you 'interact' with him/her? Our toddler has one (it has a name, and she uses her right hand to make it 'talk' a bit like the kid in the Shining ) and she bosses it around natters away to it a lot, when playing or going to sleep. Am I right in thinking we should be sort of benignly ignoring it rather than asking her questions? I sort of feel that if we make too much of it it could turn into a bigger thing and frighten her -- she's still very young, turned 2 last week.
