What is an imaginary friend?

Question

is it like when the child can actually visualise the `friend` or is just in there head?

Answer 1

From my experience a child will start having imaginary friends if they are worried or anxious and it is their way of expressing their feelings and as a parent you can learn a lot about your child by "eavesdropping" on the conversation they have with their "friend". I've also been told that a very intelligent child has imaginary friends because their brain is so active.

Answer 2

A imaginary friend is something a child makes up to keep them company.

Only the child can see the imaginary friend.

I had one when I was young,Soren Laurancen.

He was short with scruffy brownish blonde hair.

So the answer is both really.
