Imaginary Friends
Captions available
The idea
Children with imaginary friends tend to be higher in social competence, communication and empathy, and they are often very sociable.
In practice
A four-year-old setting a place at the table for an invisible companion.
Where people slip
The misconception is that imaginary friends are a warning sign. Children with them are more often first-borns or only children.
