No don't worry about an active imagination encourage it, it's a fabulous thing to have!
Well, yes and no. If he is just being imaginative while still doing what he needs to do, then I'm all for it. It is when it interferes with his tasks that I have a problem. You see, I need to prepare him for the real world, and most people don't get to daydream AND make a living.
I was really imaginitive when I was a child too, and I feel that much of my potential was wasted because of fanciful ideas. I certainly don't plan to stomp out his imagination, just aim it in a useful direction.
