Bea’s forgotten imaginary friends represent parts of her emotional world that need resolution, acting as guides to help her confront and manage her deeper feelings. These friends provide a safe space for Bea to explore difficult emotions and internal conflicts, ultimately aiding in her emotional growth. In conclusion, this article illustrates how imaginary friends serve as crucial tools for children to express, manage, and navigate their internal worlds, helping them to work through unresolved emotions and fears.
