How your grade-schooler's imagination works

8:09 PM | | No comment yet
our grade-schooler is an old hand at thinking abstractly — the couch easily becomes a desert island — and she's experienced at group make-believe: She and her pals have probably had a secret spy club for a while now. But these days she's probably somewhat low-key about her fantasy games. Grade-schoolers are more self-conscious and can easily feel embarrassed when an adult (or even another child) notices they're pretending to be a video game character or a favorite pop star. In fact, many of them turn to writing stories, drawing pictures or cartoons, or computer graphics as "acceptable" outlets for their strong creative impulses.
