Intuitive Psychics

On the higher end of the range of intuitive intelligence are people with exceptional skills, which we call psychic. We use this term because of its popularity. People understand the word “psychic” thanks to televised shows featuring psychics, ghost whisperers, dog whisperers and mentalists. Other names include paranormal ability or psi. Intuition and extrasensory perception are, however, normal capabilities.

In the world of some psychic children, parents face the unknown, as do the children. The world becomes known through the eyes and interpretation of the perceiver. There are many families in which the parent and child are psychic, may experience the same vision, ghost, angel or deja-vu, and can share a “common mind” so to speak. Then there are parents who do not understand their child’s visions or worlds. From our years of experience, we have found some common ground to share with you.

  • Remain in the present moment when dealing with psychic experiences. Be in the here and now when dealing with phenomena.

  • Assume nothing about the experience. Rather, ask questions of the ghost or of the child who has the experience, and expect an answer.

  • Have no judgments about the experience because your child will feel it, even if you try to hide it. The younger the child, the more they internalize. The more psychic the child, the more they read your incongruence.

  • Be totally honest in your feelings and conversations. Admitting you don’t know is okay and helping your child find the inner answers is even better.

  • Remain centered and calm yourself

    The psychic child seeks solace from the parent and expects the parent to understand what they are seeing or sensing. Right away, empower your children to confront the situation. Hand in hand, go together to talk with the ghost, dismiss the ghost from the premises, touch the ghost and ask questions directly. The point here is that even though we feel like we are flying by the seat of our pants, being proactive is better than allowing children to remain frightened night after night, as if the situation will change, and it usually doesn’t.

    Facing fear and moving through it has an exhilarating result for the psychic child, a leap into confidence that you facilitated as a parent. So let us hear what you have done to empower your child??

    Spiritual intelligence and intuition are intimately linked for a child who has strengths in both areas, providing checks-and-balances for their insight.
