Is My Child Psychic?
Psychic Protection for Children
Psychic protection is one of the most valuable skills you can teach an intuitive child. It helps them understand their sensitivity instead of becoming overwhelmed by it.
One of the most important life skills a psychic child can learn is how to protect their energy. Highly intuitive children often absorb the thoughts, feelings and emotions of the people around them without realising they are doing it. This can leave them feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotional, exhausted and generally overstimulated and triggered.
In almost 38 years of working with children and families, I’ve met many children who were initially thought to have ADHD or ADD. In some cases, what I observed was an exceptionally intuitive, highly sensitive child who was absorbing the world around them in a very different way. Every child is unique, which is why I believe it’s important to understand the whole child before making assumptions about why they experience life differently.
Teaching your child simple psychic protection techniques, healthy emotional boundaries and how to recognise what belongs to them and what belongs to someone else can help them feel calmer, more confident and better able to understand their unique gifts. It is one of the greatest gifts you can give a spiritually aware child.
Spiritual practices as well as psychic development and psychic protection are encouraged to support all psychic children.
Really, psychic development and spirituality go hand in hand. If you head down the path of spiritual practice long enough, you will develop psychically. If you practice psychic development, you’re going to become spiritually aware. Both paths lead to one another, and are accessed through Source, God, Light, Love and the energy of Oneness that flows throughout all. If you walk one path, you will find the other.
As adults, parents, aunts, uncles and teachers, we have an opportunity to love and support psychic children on their unique paths. Their gifts and abilities are needed for the future of humanity, and earth, and their differences rather than judged should be supported and celebrated.
Helping Your Psychic Child Feel Safe, Understood and Supported
Every child deserves to feel accepted for who they are. If your child is naturally intuitive, highly sensitive or appears to experience the world differently, your understanding and encouragement can make all the difference. By supporting their gifts with love, guidance and healthy boundaries, you help them grow into confident, compassionate adults who trust themselves and their intuition.
