Related to self talk while playing
My daughter is 4 years old.. She is assuming character and talking with them while playing .. When she is playing with her friends she is not talking.. When no one was there with her while playing only she is doing like this. Is this okay? No repetitive movements..

Hi, yes this is completely fine. Lots of kids who are introverts prefer talking alone or having imaginary friends. Once they start relating to other kids or even a single child this habit dies down.

It is very healthy for a preschooler to have imaginary friends, its part and parcel of social development. Do not worry, it will help your child to be more socially confident.
