Forums · My children can see...
I have four children, three boys and a daughter. My daughter is now 8, she started to see at 2. She would mention family members that had died way before she was born, and give descriptions that no one would have mentioned to her. Still at age two I heard her argue with "someone" about who's Mommy I am, and when I asked her about it she mentioned a baby - "can't you see her Mom?" she asked. I told her to ask the baby it's name, she said her name is Kaitlyn. I froze, almost 10 years before my daughter was born I had a stillborn, that I named Kaitlyn. During my bad divorce, she woke me in the night to tell me that "the guy in the hall says you should be careful, and not to let Daddy in" These have become the norm for her. And now my 4 year old is starting to do it, but he is also talking about losing his home in India - and how he wants to go find it.
Is there anything I should be doing to help them along with this, or should I just let nature guide them?
Any ideas?

Dear Jez,
I also have a son (now 28) and two grandaughters 13 and 6 years old who have this gift. It was easy for me as I also am lucky in having the same. As a child I relied on my Grandmother for support and insight. Is there anyone in your family who also is sensitive? It tends to run in families.
My son was never afraid, it seemed very normal to him and he didn't know Mommy also seen and heard things. It didn't bother him until he was entering his teens and then he needed some guidance.
I always handled it as a wonderful gift from God, just as my Grandmother did with me. Being open with it is good, good for your kids to be able to talk to you about it.
The only advice I can give it keep that door open where your kids come to you and tell you. It helps so much when you have that person to talk to, whoever Mom, Grandma, etc. I know as my Mother wouldn't talk about it with me. When she realized I had this gift she clammed up, told me to clam up and thats how she handled it? Thats when I went to my Grandma who also was sensitive and told me that my Mother was also? But Mom never spoke of it, well maybe a couple times later in her life.......but even that was short and sweet. LOL
Just as with everything in life, keep the door to communication with you children open. Also you could do some reading if you needed to, to understand this more.

Hi Jez:
You children seem to have a gift for sure. It sounds like during your divorce, perhaps a spirit guide or guardian angel was there to protect you from harm that may have befallen you if you had let your ex into the house at that time. Who knows... I saw my first apparition at 7 yrs old... it was my grandmother. I have seen and heard things off and on all of my life. My son is 19 yrs old now, and as a child he used to see an old lady in my room, a black dog outside of his window, and he had numerous "imaginary" friends. Unfortunately, since he has gotten older, he seems to have lost most of this ability. Although, we have a shadow ghost in our house that he sees fairly often as does my hubby. My mother has this ability and her mother also had it. I think talking about it is fine, we all learn from one another's experiences.
One thing, I personally believe, is that people were given instincts just like animals have them. I think we all have a 6th sense, just some people are more "in tune" with it than others. Some people won't open up to it or allow themselves to consider certain possibilities. Keep an open line of communication about this with your kids, but don't dwell on it. I say let nature take its course. There is a reason for everything and things will turn out in whatever way that they are meant to be. =)

My advice would be as with anything with your children. Guide and support them.
Allow them to be truthful and honest about it. Don't encourage them or they may mix their imagination in with it.
As far as your boy remembering his home in India. This may be a past life or a race memory. It's not good to attach to things like this. It's nice to know about these things as they give you connections to things other than this life but sometimes people become attached to them and it becomes unhealthy as it interfears with this life. I'm not saying it's a past life memory. I'm just saying that you should be concerned if he starts focusing on it too much.
