Parenting a Psychically Sensitive Child

---

As a medium, I love working with children of all ages to give them a safe place to share and explore their psychic gifts.  Many children see clairvoyantly and can sense energies and auras.  Knowing that your child is psychically aware brings a whole new level to parenting.  Never mind trying to find new hiding spots for presents, psychically sensitive children need special attention and a different approach that includes this aspect of them.  Psychically sensitive children are not programmed to look for problems, instead, they see the world around them with great clarity.  I’ve witnessed many children respond or react strongly when meeting someone new and their “hunches” where always right about that person.  Children typically don’t view the world through filters or points of view, but rather see what is and instantly know what works for them and what doesn’t.   
 
When my daughter Emma was 4, I walked by her bedroom and heard her talking and laughing.  I peeked inside and she had a tea party setup with 2 crossed over children as her guests.  I closed her door and waited until she brought them up with me.  Sure enough, the following day, she asked me if all children go to heaven and if their moms know that’s where they are.  This opened the door for a long conversation about crossed over loved ones, spirit communication and the work I do.  As she got older, closer to age 9, she didn’t communicate with her “imaginary friends” any longer but is a beautifully gifted artist who cares deeply about the people around her. 
 
Signs your child may be psychically sensitive:  
 

1. Knows the answer before a question is even asked.
2. Can communicate with angels and crossed over loved ones.
3. Startles easily and doesn’t like to be surprised.
4. Easily agitated with certain people or environments.
5. Is incredibly artistic and creative.
6. Enjoys a structured environment.
7. Needs time to decompress after school or parties.
8. Highly caring, especially with other children and animals.
9. Tends to shut down or become quiet when overstimulated.
10. Asks deep, thought-provoking questions that often don’t have an answer.
11. Feelings are easily hurt.
12. Has vivid dreams or nightmares. 
13. Picks up what others are thinking and knows when someone is lying. 
14. Has imaginary friends.

 
Here are some ways to support your child with their psychic gifts: 
​

• Let them ask questions and encourage them to share their experiences with you.
• Be curious about the way your child sees the world.
• Notice if your child is more withdrawn or quiet.
• Learn as much about intuition, energy and psychic development as possible.
• Help your child to understand that not everyone sees what they see and that’s okay.
• Allow your child extra time to get used to new people and situations. (I always stayed with Emma until I got the hairy eye to leave)
