As a parent you might never guess all the ways a good imagination benefits your child.It helps a preschooler：Develop social skills

　　As children play pretend，they explore relationships between family members，friends and co­workers and learn more about how people interact.Playing doctor，they imagine how physicians care for their patients.Playing house，they learn more about how parents feel about their children.Imaginative play helps develop sympathy for others.If children can imagine how it feels to be left out of a game or to lose a pet，they are better able to help those in need.They become more willing to play fair，to share，and to cooperate.

　　Build self­confidence

　　Young children have very little control over their lives.Imagining oneself as a builder of skyscrapers or a superhero defending the planet is empowering to a child.It helps them develop confidence in their abilities and their potential.

　　Boost intellectual growth

　　Using the imagination is the beginning of abstract thought.Children who can see a king's castle in a mound of sand or a delicious dinner in a mud pie are learning to think symbolically.This skill is important in school where a child will have to learn that numerals symbolize groups of objects，letters symbolize sounds，and so on.

　　Practice language skills

　　Kids who play pretend with their friends do a lot of talking.This helps boost their vocabulary，improve sentence structure and enhance communication skills.
