> I don't think I would have been worried about imaginary friends, except that that's something I would have expected when she was younger.
I had some at 10 or 11. Ones that my friends shared...
'Imaginary friends' tend to take forms society legitimates...
> She uses the word ghost becaues these beings just disappear, and that's what seems to frighten her. My ex does let her watch movies that I wouldn't. Then again, I'm kind of a wimp and don't like scary movies anyway. I barely managed to watch Skeleton Key, and wouldn't let my 11 year-old watch that one.
Even if she hasn't seen the movie the notion has become part of pop culture. She has probably heard people talk about the idea before... Seen cartoons etc...
But then I guess where I'm coming from...I don't believe in ghosts.
