There are situations when a child at the age of three talks exclusively with his fictitious friends, and even then in an incomprehensible language, while his peers are already more or less intelligible talking with their parents.
If you notice that your child has begun to talk with non-existent friends, you should never shout at him and scold him.
Children for various reasons invent their own invisible friends, for example:
If a child does not have enough time to communicate with adults and their own children and if he has no friends in real life.
If a child is often scolded in the family, then he thinks of himself a friend who could be scolded and punished, and the child involuntarily in his games copies that member of the family who punishes the child himself.
Well, the most trivial example is when the baby is simply bored, even though he has all the day written on mugs.
Children are not crushed by any social framework, therefore they perceive everything very well and feel and if the child has some situation that he can not solve and tell his parents, he begins to invent on an intuitive level an original fairy tale and in this tale lays down that problematic situation, with which he can not cope and thus he tries to solve it.
Any mother will worry about the child's psychological state when he plays with invisible friends and talks to him in their own language, which is not understood by ordinary people. Most of all children are open to the perception of a parallel world until they catch a thread, that same third eye. In the East, it is believed that the topic is not overgrown (a hole in the skull that grows up to a year) does not prevent the child from freely communicating with the cosmos and the environment and is responsible for his high psychic abilities.
According to psychologists, the critical age for children's visions is 7 years, that is, after this age, the child must stop all kinds of visions and communication with fictitious friends.
Parents should know all of their child's friends, so it is advisable to ask the child about his friends from time to time. If a child told about his invisible friends, then he has a great future, because psychologists think so. Such children in most cases also suffer from sleepwalking.
Are those real friends of your child who you do not see, in any case need to understand the fantasies of the child, even if frightening.
Psychologists advise those parents who want their child to get rid of imaginary friends, give the child more attention.
Despite the seemingly innocuous and simultaneously terrifying presence of a fictitious friend in the child, in some cases one should think about going to the doctor if:
- The child gets confused in reality and lives in a fictitious world and when he fights with his imaginary friends falls into depression.
- The child is not interested in anything other than his invisible friends and is in poor contact with his parents.
- The child behaves grim and eerie.
