I think I posted on another thread for you. Neither of my kids showed any signs on imaginative play at the ages of 6 and 7 when they came home. We worked on it alot - I posted a thread here about it and got a lot of great ideas. We played a lot of "what if" games and I even started acting out things with dolls with both of them (including their adoption story). I will say that the turnaround is great. They both can play alone in a fantasy world. They love dress up! DD creates worlds with her dolls...now her attention span is nill...but she does play. DS can create worlds with his legos and will play for long periods of time. They probably thought I was a broken record. I told lots of stories about my imaginative play when I was young...let them copy my ideas. Now, they are 9 and 10 and perhaps a bit "behind" because they still do this...however, they missed SO much, so I'm not worried about them staying in this phase for a while longer than "normal"...
