I was starting to do some work in the bathroom and Tina wanted to help me so she was in there with me ... She says "Is it working Justin?" I looked at her and she looked at me as though waiting for me to answer. When I asked "Who's Justin?" she said "You"
What the heck do I make out of this?

Does she know of anyone named Justin? Ask her why she called you Justin. Make it fun and a game not like you are quizzing her. Say something like, If my name is Justin then what's yours? Sounds like you are unlocking a lot of memories in her.

I spent some time outside with the kids and didn't talk about the name thing with Tina for a while.
When we got back inside, I asked her if she knows this Justin from school and well, my kid got this sassy attitude that I've never seen her have! She said: "No! Justin tooked the walls off in the bathroom too" I did what Kim suggested to make it like a game and she was NOT in the mood let's just say that much!
I don't know what the heck this means. Seems like starting the renovations has triggered something in her that I'm oblivious too but I would like to figure where this is all coming from???
I don't know anyone named Justin, she had no one in her class by that name and denied knowing this person (or whatever) from school.
Where do you think I go from here? She was annoyed that I didn't know this person so I explained that sometimes even mommies don't understand everything. I figure all I can do is wait for her to talk again but if you all have any other ideas, share them please, I wouldn't mind!

The best thing you can do is just let her talk when she feels like and maybe ask gentle questions. sounds like a past-life memory surfacing. past life memories dont respond well to intense questioning- better to just let if flow and it may indeed do just that.

I know with my own memories there's no amount of pushing that can bring them to the surface- they come as they will.

I must add this- last week Kell felt around in her psychic abilites for my husbands name in 1886 charleston SC and she said "Thomas". Somehow this feels very right.But no amount of trying on my part could release this to me. I am still looking for him in this life- desperately so. I miss him.

Just let her flow- if it wants to it will- be receptive and gentle.

How old is your daughter?My daughter will be 3 in September,and she is always talking to someone named Peter,or she just calls him the guy.And she also acts like I should see him.But she also can detect evil in people,by looking at them.She usually loves people,and there are some she even needs to hug.But then there are people she takes one look at and goes hysterical crying and they have done nothing to her.Normally Cheyenne is very sociable and talks non stop to everyone,she is very much a social butterfly.But one day in line at a store this man came behind us waiting to buy some stuff and she took one look at him and acted scared and started crying and pointing at him,I felt so embarrassed,but she has also done this with my brother in laws girlfriend and my mother in laws guy friend.My daughter was right on with the BIL's girlfriend,we found out that she mistreated her kids,and I guess Cheyenne must have felt that in her.I think Cheyenne has a true keen sense with things.She just doesn't know how to use them.

My grandmother used to say that small children were the best judges of character, and I've got to admit, I've seen that myself.
I think we all have an intuitive sense, but we are taught at an early age, and rightly so, "don't judge a book by its cover." Although this is so very true, it also makes us not listen to that first instinct quite so much. I think it is important, especially in the times we live in, to stress to kids that yes, we all need to look beyond superficial things in a person, but if they get the sense something about that person makes them uncomfortable to trust that intuitive instinct!

Cheyenne sounds a lot like my Tina-Marie. Tina's 5 and she's also talked about some people (spirits) from a very young age (2 that I can explain for certain) but recognizing things in the house and such is different for her.
It is embarassing when our girls react to people but I agree with you, it's good they don't brush off things at a young age... IT makes it a lot less dangerous for them.
I'll play things by ear and see what Tina says next time something slips or next time she feels chatty!
Thanks for all your input!
