My Child is Gifted



As a parent of a children with strong spiritual gifts it can be overwhelming at times for them and for me. For me my main concern while they are growing up is to reassure my children that they are not crazy and then to figure out how to foster their unique talents in a healthy loving manner.


Naturally gifted children can become aware as young as 2 or 3 and at any age after that. Other children particularly teenagers (even adults) can open up suddenly as a result of a traumatic experience or even a near death experience. For some drugs and alcohol are ways to escape or even enhance the experience of connecting with spirit. This is a destructive and ultimately unhealthy way to escape.


I realized my children were gifted because I was too. Many parents however block or ignore their gifts because for them it wasn't encouraged or helped when they were a child. I was lucky that my mother and grandmother are both gifted and helped me understand when I experienced my first Spiritual awareness at the age of 8.


Does your child display unusual behavior? Do they seemingly stare into space or take time to engage others around them? This is one of many signs of spiritual awareness.


Do they see things? Hear things? Have bad dreams or odd dreams?


Family Dynamics?


What if parent and child are both empathic?


How can the intense emotional energies be contained or balanced effectively?


Who do you trust to help you and your child?


What gifts does he/she have? What are their primary gifts?


When is a good time to seek higher spiritual development?


Where can I go?


We have a special process for helping gifted children. Using our gifts we can help develop your child's gifts in a loving and controlled manner with as much input from parents as they wish.


We undertake educational sessions online where children and parents can get help to understand and learn to develop safely.


You know those are just a few simple questions we ask ourselves.


The main guidelines for parents with gifted children are:


  1. Do not judge or presume you know what a child is going through. Everyone is different.

  2. Do not push or exploit a child's abilities as it will hinder natural progression.

  3. Accept strange as normal. There is no 'normal'.

  4. Seek help to explain to a child what they see – education overcomes ignorance and fear.

  5. Help the child to keep their gift's secret until mature enough to handle them and for others to accept them.


Here are some examples of stories from our gifted friends:


Story 1

Having gifts is not what it’s cracked out to be. Developing them and getting thrown into new situation which we have been indoctrinated into believe is not ‘normal’ is stressful for both parent and child.


When I was 3, I saw shadows all around me. My mother had something similar happen to her that very night in the apartment we lived in. The only difference was that I was not afraid. This incident was quickly forgotten by me, but mum never forgot it. Perhaps it was this incident which allowed her to accept the ‘unnatural’.


You see, growing up, I would always have the feeling of déjà vu. I would dream of something before it happened. I wouldn’t tell anyone for the fear of being judged. I didn’t tell mum. I wasn’t afraid of being able to know what was going to happen, it was just natural. However, this ability of mine evolved and manifested itself. At first glance of a person, I was able to tell if they were sincere or not. I would make snide comments about the people mum hired and she would normally not take the comments to heart... until the employees turned out to be thieves or bad mouthing mum.


She started to believe. But the thing still remained that I had to develop on my own time. The past two years, when I relocated from home to go to university to study law, has been the dawn of my spiritual gifts- I have grown leaps and bounds and sometimes need to ‘turn it off’ to focus on academia. I talk to mum a few times a week but not about this. I am afraid she will find a way to exploit my gifts.


It is important for any child to be able to confide in someone they trust. For me, it’s Jason who has been able to calm me down and basically say that I’ve not gone crazy. - SB



Story 2

Our son was reading from the Age of 4 (elementary) at a college level and was featured in the School Annual with an entire page dedicated to his reading skills.

However to progress up the school system he had to read the books required at each age group. He refused to do this because it was boring and they wondered why he refused. It was either conform to the school system or be labelled a “troubled kid” and have that follow him for life. Due to this refusal they treated him like a bully and someone with behavioral problems. They reduced his workload so he was forced to fail. It was extremely stressful and I had to go to court to force the school to allow him exemption and give him more suitable studies. This took many years and extreme levels of harassment from the school administration before they “allowed” him to go to higher classes where he was required to do much more work than he was capable due to the length of time he had been bypassed by the school. He then caught up with studies by returning to normal classes. A system designed to encourage his failure despite being highly intelligent. He is now a 10th grader moving to 11th summer 2013. His life has been difficult to say the least but at least now he has a chance of normality at school. What he could have achieved with the right teachers could have been amazing. - DH



Story 3


Growing up in a psychic family:

I grew up always knowing there was more as I am the youngest of five children and had a mum who was spiritually gifted.

I remember from growing up that things were different and no one really understood outside the family.

I remember whenever there was going to be bad news in the family we used to see my granny and grandpa from my mums side but this didn’t happen to me directly till I was about 8 when I see my granny standing at the kitchen door in the house.

My mum was very good as she had been seeing them for years and explained I didn’t need to get upset or scared as they were there to let me know they are with us. It was a few years later when my sister, who is dark haired, was in hospital and was due to have an operation the next morning. I woke up in the middle of the night and there in the bed beside mine was a girl who was the spitting image of my sister but with long blonde hair lying in her dressing gown in her bed and smiling at me. When I told my mum she told me that it was spirit's way of letting me know that my sister was going to be okay.

This all seem to go away until I was nineteen and was at a friend’s house. I was sitting here looking into their fire and I suddenly started to see a grey room with the red red black and darker grey stripes. The room I had seen had blood sprayed up the walls. I also saw an oak bedroom unit with a stand that was covered in hair scrunchies and a black handled knife. In the vision the son had stabbed his father. I told my friend this and asked them if they knew what it was. Unfortunately I got told to get out their house and never to go back. Well, after this I carried a cross as I was extremely scared and disturbed by the vividness of what I had seen- this led me to shut myself off completely.

Six months later, the person who had told me to get out of the house came to see me and apologize as their nephew had stabbed his dad in his sisters bedroom with the grey wall paper with a black handled knife and the blood was sprayed up the wall as I described as he had hit a main blood vessel. This caused me to close off even more as did not want anything to do with seeing visions like that. Although I closed off completely there were times when I would turn to my friends and ask them when they were going to tell me they were pregnant. Usually they would deny it but in a few weeks they would find out that they were. That has been my life growing up and now I am starting to get visions again but am learning to deal with them. Although I don’t see my granny and grandpa anymore I am still forewarned if there is bad news to do with my family as I hear the song 'Danny Boy' which was the song my mum used to associate with her dad. - MA





Expecting Mothers:

Babies take this to a whole new level.


Children are an extended parts of us but babies are a different story.

Babies have the most unique bond with their mother which is literally the closest one we will ever experience in our lifetime.



In a scenario where there is an empathic baby and an empathic mother-to-be, the mood swings and energy imbalances can be off the charts and can be misdiagnosed easily by medical experts and treated with drugs which are usually unnecessary. There are very real alternative reasons why a pregnancy can be “different” or “difficult”




Note: It is estimated that at least 75% of children and youth in juvenile detention have mental or emotional disorders that have not been adequately treated; sometimes due to lack of insurance or financial situations, but, often due to the stigma associated with mental illness and parent’s fear of having their children labeled. In addition there is a trend toward more punitive laws and decreased state level funding for mental health services. In addition, most communities have insufficient capacity to identify and respond to problems early, which contributes to secondary complicated issues such as alcohol and substance abuse. These are trends which need to be reversed and the first line of defense for children is their parents. So, if you believe your child is stressed or may be struggling with mental illness, take this opportunity to meet with me to do a mental health screening for your child. Let’s work together to help our children. Source - Central Florida Neuropsychology
