Varies some: Kids change from a fantasy based brain to a more realistic one around 8, give or take & the imaginary friends & tooth fairy give way to questions about how things work. When this transition occurs, they are mature enough to understand reasoning & consequences based on reasons rather than just rules.They are also capable of planned manipulative behavior at that point where before it may just happen.
