All normal children possess the faculty and its use will bring them
blessing and success if properly guided. The direct opposite is true.
If the child is allowed to form the habit of using his imagination
carelessly and negatively it will be harmful to an extreme degree.
Positive imagination which suggests happy, cheerful and successful
thoughts and actions should be praised and encouraged.
Negative imagination which suggests danger, accident, sickness, loss
and failure, should be discouraged and immediately replaced by thoughts
which are positive in quality. Imagination allowed to dwell upon
morbid, revengeful, ethically forbidden, or immoral ideas is harmful
physically as well as morally. "He who has imagined an action 'has
committed it in his heart.'"
=There is no greater truth than--"As a man thinketh in his heart
so is he."=
Imagination is the fountain head of thought and therefore the source of
words, action, personality and character. Help your child to control
the whole trend of his life by carefully governing the operations of
his imagination.
