Intuition & Early Year's Brain Power



Most people don't realize that children have 35% more brainpower than adults, enabling their intuition to be on full blast as children. Younger children don't have the ability to distinguish or even label or name realities. They experience realities through their intuition. For example, a two-year-old says hello to a human playmate, a stuffed animal, an angel in the corner of his room, a singer on MTV, or a character in a book. They are all experienced as real. A child's brainpower and intuitive capacity allow the child to view far more than us adults. In addition, our perception of realities differs based upon the culture in which we were raised. We live in a whole-brain world, and our brain capacity engages a holographic, logical-linear and intuitive ways of receiving information.

The neural connections and capacity of the early brain far exceeds that of the adult. Our brains develop only the potential networks that match or prove to be useful in their environment. In the early years of two through six, the brain has not distilled enough to distinguish between conception and perception that is inner-generated and outer-generated. This is a high time for intuitive intelligence to be at play in helping children process their world through feelings and awareness.
