Support And Listen To Your Psychic Child

How does one know if your child is metaphysically gifted? In my experience all young children have some psychic ability, mainly because their souls arrived from the other side very recently and they are still very much attuned to the higher frequency of the spirit realm.

Many parents will tell you that their kids have premonitions and can see those who have passed. Some kids also see other children who have passed, and even play with them. In fact, many children have imaginary friends, whom I believe are not as ‘imaginary’ as adults may like to think!

However, some children have exceptional psychic sensitivity and are highly intuitive. These kids can ‘see’ and ‘hear’ at a very young age what others cannot. It can be difficult for them, but they manage well if they have people that pay careful attention and patiently listen to them without judgment.

When I was a child, I felt the presence of loved ones who had passed, as well as my spirit guides. At first, I thought it was normal and that everyone saw and felt such things.  But once I realized this was not the case, I tried to keep it secret, because I worried that I might upset my parents. I sensed it would be hard for them to understand, especially my mother who is very religious. But through the years my mom and dad learned to understand and accept my psychic abilities.

Many children keep their psychic experiences hidden, and some shut it down completely. Some learn to develop their psychic talents, while others ignore or suppress it. Often, they block their original psychic awareness because their perceptions and experiences frighten, or they want to be ‘normal’ like everybody else.

Many adults closed off their sixth sense when they were younger, and it can be very challenging  to reconnect with it later in life. Parents of gifted children need to be patient and open-minded, so they can support and nurture their child’s innate gifts and help them process and understand their experiences.

As a parent or caretaker, the more you know about what intuitive and spiritual gifts look like at what ages, what stumbling blocks your child may encounter, and how the energy of the universe works in general, the more you can support your child ~ Sara Wiseman

It is very important that adults take this seriously so that children can feel more comfortable and learn to open up and use their gifts, because they are blessings from God. I am mom to a highly intuitive son myself. I have learned through the years to listen to him. In fact, he often tells me things that simply amaze me, time and time again. This started when he was only a toddler.

Children who are psychic empaths can be adversely affected by the energy of others, because they are sensing the emotions and moods of others. A child who is empathic picks up very easily if someone is angry, sad, or upset, and because they are still trying to understand their gift it can tend to overwhelm them.

If you suspect that your child is psychic, please give them the space they need to explore and learn. Buy them some age-appropriate books, enroll them in a meditation class for kids, or hire a professional psychic medium who specializes in working with gifted children. The best thing to do is to encourage them to speak about what they are thinking, seeing, and hearing, and to let them know that it is okay for them to be who they truly are.
