When my daughter was 2 she started talking to imaginary friends. They were her hands! Her right hand was called Onion and her left was Heddy! She would move them like hand puppets.She would sit at the table and Onion would say "we hate broccoli don`t we" Then Heddy would say "you don`t know till you try" It was funny! Another time my daughter threw herself on the floor and said "mum,onion just pushed me" and i had to say "onion stop pushing". Another time my daughter was pulling herself along by the neck of her jumper-she said "mum,onions pulling my clothes" i said "onion stop pulling her clothes you`ll tear them". I tried to tell Onion off one day,i said if he kept being naughty i would stop him coming to play.He said "you can`t stop me i`m attached to her!" That was quite unnerving! Onion and Heddy stayed around untill she was about 5,then she seemed to have other friends (not attached to her) She would come home from school with achievement stickers or certificates,hide them behind her back and go in her bedroom.You would hear "you guys look what i have" (she was into Hannah Montana by this stage so everything was you guys!) she would whip it out and baske in the praise ,one of her friends would say "wow you`re so clever" she would reply "i know!".
She is 8 now and still talks to herself,i think it is probably healthy.Worries me a little when she is talking while on the toilet!
