One of the unfortunate truths about psychic abilities is that though we are all born with them, many of us are taught by our parents and other well-meaning adults to discount our intuitive natures. However, more people are recognizing the fact that they have psychic children and are taking efforts to ensure that their psychic children have the resources they need to strengthen their intuitive gifts and make the most of them.
In fact, many parents are beginning to recognize the fact that imaginary friends may not be so imaginary. Often children are able to ‘see’ spirits and other supernatural entities, but because their parents and older siblings do not, the children are told that what they are experiencing does not exist.
Television shows such as A&E’s Psychic Kids and Paranormal State help because they show that psychic abilities are normal for many people; a child that has experienced flashes of intuition can see such shows and know that they are normal. Ideally, the child can feel a sense of pride that he or she can recognize those psychic abilities. A parent can encourage warm and fuzzy feelings in their psychic children by watching these shows with them.
Parents who encourage their children to explore their intuitive natures raise adults who are not afraid to trust their guts. Children who trust their intuition also benefit from understanding how their intuition works when they’re older. With that knowledge, they are better able to make decisions since they can consider both external and internal factors.
If you do want to encourage your children to explore their psychic side, here are some tools that can provide you with information and guidance that can help.
- Growing Up Psychic: My Story of Not Just Surviving but Thriving–and How Others Like Me Can, Too: In this book, Chip Coffey, a psychic medium who has been on such shows as Psychic Kids and Paranormal State, shares lessons from his own experience of being a psychic child, as well as experiences of psychic children that he knows. Then he provides some advice for you on how to determine if your child is psychic. Finally, he offers advice on what to do to be supportive of your child and ensure that your child can flourish with his or her psychic abilities.
- Your Psychic Child: How to Raise Intuitive & Spiritually Gifted Kids of All Ages: Another book for you, Sara Wiseman explains what children go through as their psychic abilities evolve. For example, your child’s psychic abilities will look different when the child is a toddler from the way they will look when your child is a pre-teen. It also has how-to exercises to help you through the process.
- Kids Who See Ghosts: How to Guide Them Through Fear: No matter how evolved you are, there tends to be some fear around supernatural occurrences that we don’t understand. Not only do parents feel this fear, but so does a child who can become confused by what he or she is experiencing. In this book, Caron B. Goode tackles the fear and helps parents resolve their own feelings so they can be supportive of their children.
There are so many benefits to raising spiritually evolved children. Take the time to educate yourself so that you can be a role model and a guide for the psychic children who are in your life.
