The Child And His world of Fantasy-25

confrontation. He lost both, the fight in the confrontation and a participation in that season.

We can understand when a child makes a visitation to his world of fantasy by applying more fantasy than hard reasoning in the attempt to solve his problems or achieve his aspirations because at that age his ability to grasp the reality on the ground is limited and his past experiences are almost none.

It is therefore normal for children also to fantasies themselves in the roles of their heroes and see themselves able to perform even better than them -to the extent that the feats fancied are superhuman.

Fanciful Dreams.
It is normal for a child also to talk (or bag) about his fanciful dreams of what he wants to be or do then or when he is grown up. Their dreams have no or little relation to the hard reasoning or the practical aspects of life.

However, parents should not commit the mistake of laughing off the child's fanciful dreams as a normal passage of a phase of childhood, if the child continues with the luxury of fantasy as he grows up or is found gaining more and more comfort by taking a refuge in his world of fantasy.

The child will be aspiring for more than what is practical or indeed. praise-worthy, within his "normal" ability. Upon failing to advance towards his fanciful aspirations, he will create yet one more world of his own for refuge and that is the one of self-pity.

Realm of Reasoning.
Children should be seen making lesser and lesser visitations to their world of fantasies and more and more to the realm of reasoning as they grow up and begin to realise that when facts cannot be changed. the attitude has to be changed. A refuge in a world of fantasy while waiting for the facts to change is an unhealthy trait.

Sadly, there are those among children who, instead of growing out of the fantasy- visitation, grow up with the habit of taking a refuge in fanciful planning devoid of reasoning. This is because they would not want to accept facts over which they have no control nor change their attitude over which they have control. However, this weakness varies in degrees from person to person.
