Tips on managing your imaginary friend.
On the whole, having an imaginary friend is great. But, be warned, they can also get you into trouble. So, here are some tips on how to handle your imaginary friend.
- Only tell them good secrets, like what you have bought your mum for her birthday. If you have any sad secrets tell them to a grown up whom you trust.
- Don’t blame your imaginary friend for something you have done wrong. No one will believe you, and your imaginary friend won’t appreciate you blaming them.
- Don’t do any dares that your imaginary friend dares you to do. They can do all sorts of things, because they work like a cartoon character who can fall off a cliff and survive. But you are made of flesh and blood, and so you can get very hurt. Do not agree to do any dares, whether your imaginary or real friends dare you.
- Most imaginary friends are lovely. But if your imaginary friend starts to scare you tell them to go away and create a new nice friend. You have the power!
- Introduce your friend to your parents. Let them know what your friend looks like. Draw a picture of your friend and write down the things they like. This will help your parents get to know the new addition to the family.
