Intuitive Characeristics

75,000,000 intuitive people, about a fourth of the population, may demonstrate the following personality characteristics:

 Shyness,
 Fearfulness,
 Low sensory threshold,
 Sensitivity to energies in their environment,
 Sensitivity to people’s moods and energies
 Reflective,
 Empathic,
 Intelligent,
 Creative,
 Aware and
 Conscientious

Given a personality style which is made up of a greater degree of sensitivity, intuitives may feel like a round peg in a square hole when dealing with people and certain environments. Because intuitive people do not think with a linear mind, these round-peg traits are finally being valued now which gives intuitives the feeling of acceptance in today’s world. Appropriate nurturing and training empowers intuitives to feel accepted with their place in life which is of the utmost importance for the growing numbers of sensitive children we are recognizing among us.

Children with an intuitive personal style will respond to life more easily and will have the ability to relate to people, tasks, their environments and to stressors when they are encouraged to express their intuition freely and openly with an adult or caregiver who encourages the child to trust what they know. Knowing the challenges faced by the intuitive child enables parents to discuss, plan and assist in optimal personality and skill development.

How you respond to your intuitive child will teach them to either trust their environment and “knowing” or create fear and uncertainty about their gifts and experiences. Intuitive children need to be validated for what they know and feel. Our task is to provide them with the confidence they need to succeed as intuitives in this life.
