A childs vision of the deceased

[Dupe]

Hi, this is my first posting concerning Psychic and Paranormal subjects. I am fascinated by my Grand daughter’s reactions when on several past occasions she has paid particular attention to a conifer tree in the front garden at my Daughters home. From the time muttering her first baby sounds we noticed her staring and pointing towards the top of the tree. We became aware of her connection with a family photograph of her Granny who passed away a few years back. Often at night she will look at the tree top and say… "Look mummy, Nanny B is smiling at me"
I notice kiddies in their early infant years playing with objects and toy figures have unusual and strange names for them no matter how you try to correct them they will continually repeat these names and make reference to them. Have they strong psychic abilities that gradually fade way as they grow older. I look forward with interest from members who have knowledge or similar experiences regarding this subject.

Hi Dupe, yes I have seen it too, with my own kids. My then 2-year old son communicated with his sister even before we knew she were on her way. We had been shopping, and went for a burger afterwards. We picked a table at the restaurant and sat down. Suddenly my son 'froze' and looked concerned, then he went to get a children's chair, put it at the end of the table and then sat down on his place in the sofa. We were puzzled and asked him who would sit in the chair he just brought. 'It's for the baby' he answered. My wife was using birth control pills at that time but OK, better get a gravidity test right away and yes, there we had 'the baby'. About 7 months after that occasion, she arrived. I could go on, but there's no need. Something is going on that is hard to understand and explain for us grown-ups.

In kindergarten and in school, the ability starts to wear down because it isn't taken seriously. We asked the kindergarten to not reply to anything 'strange' that our kids might say, if they couldn't understand or accept what they would hear. We wanted to protect the kids from influences where this ability and knowledge would be worn down by environment and implanted doubts but it doesn't seem possible unless you totally isolate yourself from society during their youth, kindergarten couldn't resist telling them that 'it's just your imagination' and things like that. And as a first grader in school, you get into so much trouble if the teacher think you 'pretend' to already know what's in the book, even though you haven't even opened it for the first time yet...

At the age of 8-10 the ability seems grinded down by the environment and are mainly lost. But they stop talking about what they see much earlier, at 3 or 4, probably because of the respones they'll mostly get. This is very sad, but necessary in order to find a place in society, as society under no circumstance seems willing to learn from children and their experiences.

In my opinion, the most important thing to do as a grown up, as always and in many other cases too, is to confirm that they experience whatever they experience, even though we ourselves may not understand, believe it or see it. Imagine yourself if everyone around you repeatedly told you that your perception of the world is totally wrong and what you see or hear doesn't exist or just comes from your imagination and therefore are wrong. I wouldn't be surprised if this conflict, if it becomes life-long, would explain many cases of psychical illness among grownups and adolescents because of this conflict, not because of any 'chemical imbalance' or whatever the reason. I know I would go nuts if everything I know suddenly were condemned as bogus from a trustworty source that I also were dependent of to survive. And even more nuts when I realized that I'm right about what I know, and 'the others' are the ones who actually invent an imaginary world around them.

Accept and confirm that they experience what they experience. Leave it to themselves to decide if it's imagination at work, or something else. Introduce the two options so they'll learn the concepts, but make sure to put no bias into it. If they find that it's not imagination, make clear that you can't see what they see and therefore not explain what they see, but they are always safe with you and comforted by you if they need it. This can be done as soon as you can communicate with simple words and when the issue comes up. Children understands more than us, and more than we think or even allow. These concepts are something they can begin to work with even at a very low age, although we often do not believe it or even consider too much information at too low age might be harmful. Thereby, we keep them in limbo and twilight about their own perception for a long period of their young lives.

If you do this, you'll also begin to handle your own dream state, your own imaginary picture of what the world isn't, and you can begin to listen to what the children can teach you. If you listen, you may find that it makes a lot more sense than what you thought the reality really were about.
