ok. disclaimer. not a pscychologist.
I was just wondering if your ds is trying to tell you things through stories that he might not feel
as comfortable to do otherwise.
like, stories about the Grand Canyon because he wants to travel or is feeling boxed in.
like he wants to escape something, but still take everyone with him.
but I think he wants everyone to believe everything he imagines, if that makes sense.
Have you started talking about the stories yet? Where do the conversations take you?
My ds5.5 has always had a vivid imagination but lately has been telling more whoppers and bluring the line between made-up and real-life. We just moved and he isn't thrilled about it, new school, new friends, new schedule, etc. Lately he enjoys "tricking me" I think it gives him a sense of control since he there are more things beyond his control now.
