My brother is 3 and he has an imaginary friend named "Charmin". I think he got the name of the toilet paper comercial. He goes to preschool and is very social and active. Here are the things he gets anry about when charmin's around:
When/Where What he says about it
Dinnertime "Hey! Charmin's sitting there!
Playtime "Hey! Charmin's playing with that!"
Outside "Hey! Charmin's swinging on that swing!"
Nap/rest time "Hey! Charmin's laying there!"
And when he's bored he talkes to him like Charmin's really there.
I ask him this alot: "Hey David, is Charmin your best buddy" he will say yup. "Hey Davey, can I see charmin?" Nope he will say. He says only he can. Then he paused. Charmin is a ghost.
What do I do!!!???

Imaginary friend are completely normal. As long as he is not abusing himself, or blaming things that he did on his friend, then he'll grow out of it.

It is perfectly natural for a 3 year old to have an imaginary friend . this is the age that they start realizing they have an imagination and you differently want to encourage that . It will help in the future . It will make him get better grades pay attention more and be more successful cause it will make him more independent on himself and not material items.

Contrary to what you might think, it's not just lonely, isolated kids who invent companions. While only children and firstborns with far-younger siblings are somewhat likelier to do it, "even kids from large families have them," Dr. Taylor says. "It may be a way to have something that's unique to them."
Make-believe buddies are associated with positive personality traits, Dr. Taylor says. She's found that kids who have them display a better ability than their peers to see things from another person's perspective. Other studies show that these kids also have higher language scores, play well with other children, and ultimately have more friends.
Feel free to acknowledge a pretend pal. "It encourages your child's imagination," Dr. Taylor explains. Your preschooler won't fall out of touch with reality, Dr. Gleason assures. "Actually, when you ask questions about the friend and let your child answer, you reinforce that her pal is under her control," she says.

Just go along with it for now, If he asks you not to sit on Charmin, dont sit there, He will get over it. My kids did that... My fiace's parents said he had an invisible friend. My bff had one.......... Its a normal thing for that age.

What you should do is NOT OVER REACT, there is nothing wrong. My son had a friend when he was a wee boy and after a while he went away. So chill out and enjoy your time with your little brother. Kids don't stay kids for long, and before you know it he will be grown up.

Lol. I don't think that an imaginary friend for a 3 year old is uncommon. I think everyone had one in their life at a time. Nothing to worry about, just a stage.

That sounds just fine. Unless the imaginary friend is telling him to kill his family or something. Or if he still has it in a few years and only talks to it. Just ignore it. He's being creative.

Imaginary friends are actually a sign of intelligence.
