How To Tell: Is My Child Psychic?
By: Guest Contributor
Psychic Ability is not just confined to adults or matured people. A large number of infants are also born psychics. The difference between the grown ups and the infant psychic is – the little ones find it difficult to convey the messages across to others that they possess certain superficial powers and they can communicate with the spirits. They see them and also walk and talk with them.
Psychic children are just like any other normal kids. They do face many challenges once they step into the outside world, as the normal kids do. The only difference being – psychic child are more sensitive than their contemporaries.
Parenting a Psychic Child:
Psychicism is more or less within all human beings. Some have it to a greater extent than others. And those who have it to a greater extent are the psychic children. As these types of children are very sensitive, so they demand constant attention, gentle care, love, compassion and parental care. The following points need to be noted for the good parenting of a psychic child:
1.Always be alert, aware and observant: It will be very wise of the parents, especially the mother to keep a track of all the upcoming changes within the child. Noticing all the changes occurring within the little one, focusing on their dreams, unusual experiences and their thoughts and reviewing them regularly will help. Theses things will help the parents in having an insight to the symbology of their children and make the little ones aware accordingly.
2.Acquire knowledge and be wise: It is important for all those parents having psychic child to be knowledgeable and wise. It means that they both need to spent some time in learning about psychics and their behavior, their philosophy, mediums of communication, and also a bit about the ghosts and the spirits. It may be a time consuming task, but it must be done for the betterment and the proper guidance of their children. Moreover, they must be prepared to answer the child’s queries quite honestly and in a straightforward manner without showing nose the other way round.
3.Active listening is necessary: Be an active listener rather than an active speaker. Whenever the child comes up to the parents with story or an unusual experience, do not neglect them. Rather listen to the full thing which the little one has to say. After hearing the incident probing questions need to be asked. Questions that will be interesting for the child to answer and at the same time will help the parents delve deeper into the fact needs to be asked.
4.Never ask to ‘perform’: The parents should never put their psychic children on the spot and tell them to predict what will happen next, or ask them to tell something which has already happened or anything of this sort. Rather it is the duty of the parents to teach the little ones how to respect their talents and power.
5.Teach them to be natural and well balanced: It is necessary to teach these children to live a natural and well balanced life just like any other kid. Healthy food intake, adequate sleeping hours, spending playful hours will help the children to remain normal. At times the parents can teach the child to communicate with the trees and the stones in the garden so that they remain connected to their abilities and powers.
While some parents show very caring and loving attitudes towards their psychic child, there are some others who teach their children to ignore their inert psychic senses and messages and forget about ghosts and spirits. These attitudes impart a negative influence upon the kids. As a result when they grow up into a matured human being, life becomes difficulty for them. Hence all sorts of negative influence upon the child should be avoided.

I found this post really interesting after seeing behavior in my little girl which I just couldn’t explain. I really think that she could be psychic, but I don’t want to push her, this article has been so helpful, you guys are the best.
This article gives such good advice! There is only one thing they didn’t discuss:
Help the child learn how to deal with their gift/sensitivity and how to protect themselves from “overload.” Even though some children feel unsettling emotions or be shown scary things, they are fully capable of learning how to block those “insights” and control when they are “open for business,” so to speak.
If your child is small, you, as their parent, can place a protective “bubble” around them, using your own energy. You need to be very quiet and calm, reach out to them with your heart and mind, and mentally place a bubble around them. A peaceful, protecting bubble. You may need to do this every day, depending on the sensitivity of your child.
When the child gets older, they can learn how to do this themselves. It really helps for them to study yoga or some kind of meditation so they can calm themselves and let go of the outer stimulus before creating their bubble.
This was especially important for my children when they were at school and kept picking up on other children’s anxiety, worries, emotional pain. Once they learned how to insulate themselves from those emotions, it made going to school a much more pleasant experience.
For those children that receive “visits,” it may help them to use a talisman as a signal that they don’t want to be disturbed. Putting on a hat (real or imaginary), keeping a loose button in their pocket to touch for assurance (great for little children), a small piece of fabric — anything that the child would feel comfortable carrying, and small enough not to attract attention nor of any monetary value.
Also, you, as the parent, can cast away the scary visitors. When your child tells you about “that scary man over there” and points to an empty space, or tells you about a nighttime visit that scared them, you should point to that space, or go into that room, and say, firmly, “Leave us” or “As her/his mother/father/grandparent, etc, you must leave her/him alone.” If you find this is happening at night, for example (or any other predictable time), then make that part of your bedtime routine. Kiss the child good night, stand up and say, “As his/her mother, you must leave him/her alone to sleep in peace (or play, or study, in those cases).” You can teach your child to do this. They can do it in their minds; they do not necessarily need to say it aloud. If you are psychic, you may protect them mentally, and not have to say it aloud. But if you aren’t psychic, or aren’t sure if you are, then just voice it. Calmly and firmly.
That’s one of the good things about saying bedtime prayers. Even if you aren’t particularly religious, if you calmly and firmly bless your child, it will work great.
Thank you so much for the above it has helped me understand what i think my 2yr old must be going through. He has always been \different\ he was very calm and quiet as a newborn and as he grew he to others seemed moody and did not interact with people outside of our household, Doctors and Health Visitors told us they thought he could be Autistic,Deaf,dumb,blind but have since ruled out all of these problems, then 6months ago he began to talk one day perfectly, but only to people he knew well, outsiders he will just stare at and become mute, some people find this uncomfortable and coment on him being moody! I know this to be completely untrue, my son is a very calm loving and sensitive child but he is also very stong willed and confident, he has three sibling 2 of which are older than him but he wont be pushed around! But, he does have another side to him, He \sleepwalks\ he will stand in the same spot for hours and stare into space, if i try to touch him he screams, hits and freaks out, so all i can do is sit and watch to make sure he is ok, most nights he comes to tell me he has seen \monsters\ in his room, then he will not sleep for the rest of the night, he hates to be alone day or night, he seems to just know things, recently he told his nana all the colours when he was eating some smarties, then when asked again later he did not know any, he got them wrong, my aunt lost a very dear friend last month, he walked right upto her and very calmly placed his hand on her face, she bagan to cry and he said its ok, kissed her and ran away, he did not know of the friend passing! we have also had some disturbance in the home, all through the day and night Banging in his bedroom, toys moving going off on their own, We are both so sleep deprived but it never seems to bother my son, he never seems tired, i have been told to get a priest to come to the house???? any more advice on anything i could do to help my little one would be extreamly welcome thanks x
