Imaginary friends - what should I do?????

[charlie72]

My youngest is 3.4 and for the past couple of months has had an imaginary friend called Peter.

When Peter was first mentioned, I thought he was from playschool but realised he wasn't when ds said they climb trees together with Peter's ladder!!!

He doesn't mention him at playschool or at the childminders (I work full time) but as soon as we get home, Peter comes out!!

What do I do?? I've talked to Peter (till HV said I shouldn't talk directly to him), I've ignored it, I've even started saying that Peter must be ds special friend because I can't see him.

Other mums I know find it funny but I don't know whether I should be worried or not????

Any ideas???

MI, perhaps all the imaginary friends will go off & play wih each other next week.....

I had 2 friends called Karen and Susan who lived in my curtains. I wouldn't worry, honestly. I did grow out of it, and can form perfectly normal friendships
