I don't think I know any kids that age, but my imaginary friend David was around til I was about 5.
DD2 has them. More than 1. She's so funny alway bossing them around & holding hands with them.
I don't know if I'd be worried just yet.
Does she have many friends at school?
Thanks for your reply bjrose

She has her 3 main friends at school, one of them she sometimes has over or she goes over to her place for a few hours. She does get really upset when her friends or other kids are mean to her. I think everyone is like that when others are being mean, but she does dwell on it a lot more and a lot longer then I expected a child at her age would.

So is it quite normal for a child to play and talk with an imaginary person? I'm feeling quite bad about the way I have behaved regarding this issue. I think it was the 'ORANGE Eyes' thing that made me freak out more then the whole 'IMAGINARY friend' issue.
