After reading into the subject area I decided that there would be purpose for this service – as parents often feel very confused and also ‘useless’ in understanding how to treat an imaginary friend. This will bring children and adults together in helping to create a physical version which the child can take everywhere with them – making other toys almost obsolete. From this point it was necessary to make some questions which would direct the next few stages of research:
Critical thinking questions:
How do imaginary friends get created? What experiences and ideas lead to this development?
What different types of imaginary friends are there (physically).
Are imaginary friends a concern for parents? What can they do to resolve this.
I then listed places to visit to enhance research. These would hopefully inspire me to further develop this service, or even impact in small ways, such as deciding on the colour palette to use for this site at a later date etc.
Places to visit for research:
Lancaster county museum: Stanley Street, Preston PR1 4YP
V & A museum, London.
The V&A Museum of Childhood is open from 10:00 until 17:45 every day.
