My three year old has an imaginary friend who she regulary talks to but she wont play in her room as she says the toys move on their own. Any ideas how to deal with this.

children are pretty darn honest, especially that young. does your child have that much imagination at the young age to make something like that up? just a whole different outside the box thinking, what if they did...isn't crazy, it is a fact...alot of strange things happen in this world that no-one, i mean no-one person anywhere can explain ever.
put all the theories/advice/opinions/ideas you
..generally speaking..want out there.
anyway
another idea is maybe one fell over by accident and she thinks they all move now because of one falling over, logical thinking.

I am Navajo and agree (to an extent )with Devine. But I also know that there is no way to just ask a spirit to leave. If you think that this might be the problem then get sage. You can get this at many Places and burn it throughout your home. But I think this is just your daughters imagination. (you would have to give me alot more info to make me think that it was a spirit) I am imagining that she is an only child, and you probably do not have an inside pet. I would suggest on investing in a puppy. This will help your daughter to have a play mate, and mabey feel safer in her own room. I suggest a midsize dog. NOt to big, not to small. There are hundreds at the local animal shelter.

ok this answer is serious. imaginary friends are generally a spirit or her spirit guide. she has this gift and indeed the toys could move alone. there could be spirits makeing them move but only she hears them and sees them. most children do have this gift and grow out of it due to parents or society telling them to stop or that they are crazy. so encourage her. play in her room with her for awhile. and my guess, she needs night lights at night. just support her. listen to what her "imaginary friend" says, it might make more sense to you than you think. try looking up syliva browne her books explain much better what i am, or she is on the montel williams show every wednesday.

First don't doubt you child for a second if they are uncomfortable in a room its possible its a spirit...I lived in a haunted house for 15 years and the very first encounter we had, we asked our pastor what to do and he told us to pray in each room (bless the house)... All spirits are not bad, but can tend to make you feel uneasy. If you are not comfortable with the fact of praying go to your local church, chapel, etc. and ask them to come out and help you in your home...When we got our home blessed we didn't have any bad problems anymore...the spirits were still there, but were not harmful at all. If you want to get rid of them call an exorcist.
If it is a spirit in your home pay close attention to your things (remote, keys, phone, jewelry,toys, etc.) sometimes they can end up in crazy places, and you know for a fact you didn't have them there...be careful, don't deal with it yourself unless you are interested and strong enough to deal with what may be.

Sounds like you have a spirit in your home. Research previous owners, fascinating. Ask your child about the friend. Learn as much as you can. Believe your daughter. a 3 year old doesn't make this up. You may be able to guide or assist the spirit to the light. Look into psychics -- do you have a metaphysical store in your town?

Most kids go through this stage and it is like some say children have the ability to see what we dont such as spirits first of dont freak out about this its not doing her any harm, its good for her imagination what you do have to watch out for is when she is playing up and starts to blame her friend she will out grow this so just let her beand when she is ready to play in her room alone she will she just wants to be near her mummy

If your not too busy try playing with the baby while she's in her room. Reassure her that she's safe, and that Mommy's there to protect her from anything, especially moving toys! Children sometimes ''create'' situation to get more attention from there parent(s). Baby may just need more attention from you.

whoa freaky, get disc 1 season 1 of "ghost hunters". They are skeptics who try to dis-prove these things and this lady was having the same problem with her child and the G.H. guys recorded EVP's in the house and such. Pretty freaky stuff. You may just want to up and move, that's what I would do. I wouldn't mess around with that.

i know this might sound strange but stranger things have happened. Children have very open minds and can often "see things" that adults dont. If I were you id set up a cam corder in her room. Just to be on the safe side. You never Know!!

Find a big teddy bear that can sit in a chair or in the corner by itself. Tell her that the taddy bear is mama lil spy bear and that it is watching her for mama.
I did something like that with my kids they were scared to sleep in their room together, (bunkbeds). I gave them my lil lamp out my room. I told them that the light will help them sleep and run all bad things away. The lamp is mama eyes at night watching them. Now that they are up age, they use my night light.
