| 520 | |a This description of the development of imagination and fantasy in children outlines how children view their fantasies, imaginings, imaginary companions, and lies at different stages of development. Main topics include (1) the purposes of fantasy; (2) fantasy in preschool children; (3) imaginative games and dramas; (4) promotion or inhibition of fantasy; (5) middle childhood; (6) lies; and (7) imaginary companions. Subsections on fantasy in preschool children concern the use of fantasy for wish fulfillment and for coping with bodily functions, discipline and jealousy. Other subsections cover fantasies in narratives; preferred fantasies in children's literature; and children's difficulty in distinguishing between fantasy and reality. Imaginative games and dramas are discussed in terms of the influence of reality on them; their value as a means of coping and improving social acceptance; individual differences; and standard plots, rules, and roles. The discussion of promotion or inhibition of fantasy includes sections about parents; props and playmates; excessive structure; the role of television; and training for the use of imagination and fantasy. The material on middle childhood explores the waning of imagination and fantasy. Subsections on children's lies emphasize the importance of distinguishing between lies, wish fulfillment, and fantasies, and discuss children's beliefs about lying. Characteristics and functions of imaginary companions are described. (RH) | ||
