"My name is Sally Head and today I am going to talk to you how to nurture your preschoolers imagination. Accept imaginary friends. It is okay if your child has an imaginary friend. They may give them a name, may give them a character, may even pretend to dress them and that is all part of their creativity. Just make sure they don't start blaming their imaginary friends for things that have happened around the house or that they really start saying that that imaginary friend told them to do things. But it is great, it goes beyond their natural ability to just have things tangible but it helps them increase their imagination by what their friend can do. Isn't that right buddy boy? Yeah, my friend says that it is okay."
