Children and the paranormal: how to deal with young abilities.

Yes, my Grandson had the ability, but he was a little older at the time, maybe three to four when he started relating things. However, in your son's case, he can't relate things to you by speech, and he will be scared because he doesn't understand what he's actually seeing. Maybe it would be a good idea to give him some paper and crayons, and as him to draw pictures he sees, right after you know he's seen them? Encourage him to get the colours right, as these are all-important, as you will already know. Pictures are the easiest way for kids to communicate when they can't put sentences together. You could even join in the activity, and draw him something which you've seen and ask if it's the same? Brightest Blessings, my dear friend. xx

I know my son can see because when he lived with his Dad he would say that he saw angels. I am sure he could see prior to that, but never felt threatened. He was a bit older than your son, maybe 3 or 4 at the time. He has always explained that he has a protector of some kind, now he says he has a dragon that watches over him. I can feel things and occasionally see light orbs, my husband can see IF he is paying attention (he has a lot of gifts that he doesn't use). I suggest that if you have someone who can see that your son spends time with, have them explain to you what he can see. I know he is only two, but if you can go into basic terms with him, he may not be as scared. He may be scared because he is seeing things that actually are scary (like fear eaters). I have been through enough that I would keep wars up in the house just to be safe.

he is just 2 years old and is already showing these capabilities? wow! i am not a paranormal person, does not have any gift of seeing or even feeling them... but i think since you too have been able to tell what he sees... you can very much guide him at home first and be with him as much as possible all the time.

Most children can see nonphysical realms when they are very young. Between birth and 2 to 3 years they are very permeable, open and also vulnerable. They are also protected for a few years by energies adults cannot see. Though some children are more sensitive and open than others. In time most children become exvoluted by the world, their senses. Then this inner vision wanes. What a shame that is. Sometimes adults berate their children, telling them it is nonsense what they are seeing things. Spend quality time with your child and talk through what he is seeing. If there is fear involved, then be with your son and help him strengthen himself against harm. Energy management does help and there is a book called Awakening the Third Eye, which is an E book presently so is free to download online. Which (among other things) teaches a particular breathing style with a direct purpose of strengthening the life force of people to ensure that perverse energies do not effect you. Called Friction Breathing, it activates the larynx and Third Eye centre. It's easy to do, though funny in the beginning. So, lets say your son retains this ability, then foster it with the added bonus of total awareness and energy management.

Hi lecanis, I am of the opinion that all children can see. How it is used and developed through the child's life depends on the parent's beliefs and abilities. It might be difficult for young ones to actually verbalize what they see, because many times, they don't understand who or what they see, although, many times, there is spirit recognition. I believe every child has the ability to see, not only spirits, but auras as well. Again, depending on the age level and the ability to understand and verbalize, parents might not always recognize what the child is seeing or saying they see. For instance, a child might see a lady wearing a long red cape with a red hood and white fur. Because that child might not be able to recognize who they are right off, they could easily think it was Santa.....They could do their best to express what they saw, sometimes thinking it a dream, so the following conversation could be, "I dreamed about Santa last night". The parents (knowing a real Santa doesn't exist) might say, "Oh no you didn't". Thus, starting the steps that begin the process of that particular child beginning to think, "I really didn't see anything. It was only a dream", or something like that. After the child is told so many times they don't really see something, that child will loose the ability to see altogether. If that same child askes a question, "What are all those colored lights around Auntie"? Those who normally don't see those lights (the aura) will tell that child they don't see anything. There's nothing there. This too leads the child to a beginning belief that they really don't see anything. This might all sound off base, but I know it's true. On the other hand, if a child is encouraged to see things or if when the child makes a remark they are questioned about what they saw from a parent who also sees or at least knows of the possibilities, the child is encouraged to come forward when they see things, enforcing the ability, encouraging the child to develope their gift. If a child works with this gift, they can become trained in other areas as well. We can teach them at an early age what is harmful and what is not. The child will also have an inert knowledge of what is okay to see and what is not. The best way for the child to overcome their fear of what they see is within the one who sees. These are things that are totally out of your control (to a large degree). The child has to learn on his own what fills him with fear and what things don't. There will be things throughout this person's life that surprise him or startle him. Sometimes downright scares him, but he will learn how to deal with each incident on his own, if he is taught what is basically good and what is not. That is the part that will come from you. In many ways, he is fortunate to have you as a someone who can explain some of the things he sees. My opinion comes from being able to 'see' and know things I otherwise had no way of knowing. I've done this since I can remember. I was around 2 years old when I can remember the first things I saw and started saying something in general conversations with my family. Each one told me I was making things up to get attention (since I was the baby) and no one ever believe I saw anything, until many years later when my mother realized I saw things and knew things I shouldn't. Until that time I was told I didn't see things until I almost lost the gift. Your child will develope naturally, because you will be there to encourage him.

I think it will be easier when he can actually communicate with you and tell you what he is seeing. There is some helpful info online on dealing with it. There is a group out there and the name is not coming to me right now that deals with small children with these gifts. I would support him and really stress commuication even though he's really young. Even if he has to talk in baby sign language. Anything to help him cope with things he doesn't understand yet. Then once he is able to communicate I would teach him about this gift and how to use it. But it sounds like your shielding him the best you can right now which is a good thing.

Well, never tell them that it is their imagination. Encourage them instead. For example, if your child tells you that he or she sees someone, ask your child to describe that vision or tell you that vision's name. In other words, you're not ridiculing your child, but are encouraging him or her.

I'm certainly no expert on this but as a mother I think the first thing in my mind would be to protect my child - in this situation the only real way of doing it is to 'play down' the times he sees things. I don't think this will squash his 'gift' but since you can't explain it to him this young I think best to just not make a big deal of it and protect him any way possible... I think from experience that when they are old enough to understand it they'll let you know and you can help develope his gift from then on.

This is amazing! I knew that children can see things, especially my daughter. She often comes running to me scared saying "There's someone there". I, like most people, try to convince her that 'nobody' is there and she just needs to put on the light because she might be imagining things. I do this knowing very well that children can see because I don't want her to get scared and I really don't have any 'seeing' gift. I have no idea how to sheild my children from dangerous spirits. Seeing all these responses, I am now at a loss to know what to do in such a situation. I am going to have an eye on this discussion to get some help. Great discussion. Thanks Lecanis. Can u please tell me if there is a way I can do this shielding too?

You are fortunate to be psychic, and even more fortunate to have a son with this latent ability. There are several things to consider here. First,its important to realise that what he sees is very real to him. whether you can see it or not, so never downplay his sightings. There is seldom any need to "shield" your home. These are visions from a past life or from the Higher Dimension where he lived before he was born to you.There will be no negative influences in his life at this point. He may be seeing things unknown to him at this time, which may frighten him. As he gets older he will understand what he is seeing and overcome his fright. If his sighting is discouraged he will soon lose it, but if he is encouraged he may retain and build on this talent. You are both Fortunate, and Blessed, to have this shared ability! Be Thankful!

That is so difficult when he is that young. I know that many times children are more prone or open to seeing these things than adults so that may be why he can see some that you can't. I myself have a now 3 year old who I think may see something sometimes. The kids toys in the house go off for no reason out of the blue so I wonder sometimes if something is here then when I add into the equasion that my son will wake up in the middle of the night screaming bloody murder soemtimes it makes me a little nervous. He has never been afraid of the dark but one time last week he refused to go to his room to get a diaper, he went half way down the hall then started crying and pointing. My son has a severe speech delay so he has the comunication skills of about a 18 month old ins ome areas a little better but still I understand not bieng able to communicate. I just try to comfort him and let him know it is ok, and if he gets scared just try and be there and find something that works for him, my son seems ok if I turn the light on and go in his room with him, but that may not work for yours. FOr my son it only seems to be in his room that he gets scared, if there is something here I'm sure it is not to the extent of what your son is seeing. Good luck
