(e.g., going to the principal's office as a child for being in trouble, spending time with a close friend, etc....)

None of the above.
Praying or 'talking to a god' is the same as a lonely young child insisting that there is an invisible (and imaginary friend) that they have created to fill a gap, a need.
Usually, children grow out of this phase.
Being religious and believing that there really IS a god out there is exactly the same but, pitifully, many do not grow out of the phase in their early lives and continue with the delusion.
They evidently have a need to fill a perceived gap in their lives.

Talking to a stuffed animal.
Neither of them can do anything meaningful. The only thing they are good for is giving people a false sense of security.

a slightly neurotic child with an imaginary friend or one that talks to their teddy bear. It's an acceptable phase as long as it is not permanent throughout adult life.

Prayer?
If that's not the answer you're looking for, I suggest that it is talking to a friend that does not "talk" back, but rather, takes upon the action that you talk about.

Talking to ourself...especially if we have an imaginary friend.
