Imaginary Friend


Nora has recently started to have imaginary friends. This morning her imaginary friends name was Emma. She really loves her sister Emma and always wants to play with her. Since she only gets to see her once a week, I think she is trying to make herself feel better by pretending that Emma is in the room. Of course, I am not a psychiatrist, so this may actually be a problem :)


The funny thing is, this morning she came running into the room I was in and she was crying. She said, "Mommy, Lily sat on Emma. She smashed her Mommy!!!"


Since I am naive about these things, let me know if I should worry or if this is normal for kids her age?
