Why does your 2 yr old talk 2 people that are not seen by you?

Most children have imaginary friends. It's completely normal for a child to be talking to themselves at that age and it has nothing to do with anything paranormal.Answer:Parents encourage children to believe in a variety of invisible friends - the Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the family's deity. They see parents talking to invisible friends when they are looking for lost items (e.g. "Now where is that cellphone?"). The parents then get upset when the children talk to invisible friends not on the acceptable list. Eventually children learn that parents have lied to them about invisible friends and stop talking to them.
