Intuitive Children and What to Do


The Rhine Research Center, which studies parapsychology and was started at Duke University in the 1930s, states that psychic abilities in children run in families, and is more prevalent in extroverted children. Movies have their own take, with psychic children portrayed as otherworldly and odd. In real life, children are often not encouraged to show their true nature. Instead, their menu says to follow along and excel in expected ways. Intuitive children need more.  

People always ask me, what were you like as a child? Those closest to me would say, shy. I only talked when an adult asked me a direct question. Grownups seemed tall and foreboding, with agendas I couldn’t understand. That slowly changed as I became a performer and found my voice, but I do consider myself an introvert.

As a music teacher, I’ve found that the children who truly connect to music, not just the ones who play all the correct notes, are the ones who have intuitive traits.

So what do you do if you have an intuitive child? First, remember that children have fewer barriers, so they can be more intuitive than most adults. Second, let your child roam. That means with their mind, their imagination, and even their bodies. Expose them to new experiences and believe in their fantasies and words. Third, let them be who they are and don’t put them in a thought box. Uniqueness is a large part of paranormal ability.

Intuition and the Role of a Grandma


My daughter had a baby boy a few weeks ago. She pulled through like a trooper, doing what all mothers have to do. She endured brutal pain, super stamina, and boisterous joy. Since then, she and I talk about how a baby and a mother instinctively know what to do, and how marvelous that is. Intuition is present in its best form.

One big problem that I can’t figure out, is what am I supposed to do? I know my role is easy. I sleep through the night, I don’t have to pay for him, and the guilt I had with my two children is no longer present. I try to be supportive and not smothering. I want to be helpful and available, but I live 150 miles away. It’s silly to worry, since I received the greatest gift. My daughter, her husband, and her son are happy and healthy.

Like everything in life, my role will evolve and expand. Love is the start. Intuition comes next. Trust and care follow.

Now ask me how many moons I’ve jumped over in the last sixteen days? The answer? Well, I can’t count that high.
