How would you go about documenting that? There are so many kids. Kids imitate facial expressions or sayings they heard from television. Why wouldn't they just make up a fake friend because they heard about it on TV or youtube
- scott_s 7y agoBecause for a 3-7 year-old, I'm not sure how to differentiate between made up a fake friend and made up a friend. edit: To directly answer your question: I don't know, and that's part of my point.
- tictoc 7y agoWhat's the significance of the fake friend in the first place?

The child sees imaginary friends are desirable and performs as if they have one. If there is no audience, there is no imaginary friend. A bona fide imaginary friend, on the other hand, should be more likely to be addressed when the child thinks they’re alone.
