Is your child's psychic ability affecting his/her learning?
by Ronnee Ruselle
Psychic children lead very busy lives. Trying to juggle the huge amount of learning that they are doing from around them along with all of the information that their senses are picking up from other people and places around them is a difficult process and they can sometimes appear to be slower to learn than other children. The great news is that the opposite is true and with a little help from you, they can blossom as quickly as any other child.
What to look for:
Daydreaming, over-reactions to other children and situations around them, mood swings, difficulty concentrating, easily distracted, bright child but slow to understand concepts, very aware of people around them, highly interactive or exact opposite, very forgiving, very sensitive.
This can be tricky because as you can see, the signs for what to look out for can also be a sign of many other things. It takes commonsense and awareness to tell whether your child is psychic. The truth is that most kids are psychic, but the very gifted ones will have more difficulty than others.
Possible effects of this situation:
A psychic child tends to focus on feelings - not just their own, but those of the people around them when other kids will be focussing on themselves or toys. The psychic child tends to be a lot more forgiving than other children because they can 'feel' the pain of others and they can see the good in people even when that person may be hurting them. If you find that your child is very bright, but seems to be unaware of concepts that other children have picked up on it is common in psychic children because half of their focus is on reading the people and energy around them, not to mention interaction with spirits who come by. This leaves only half the time for learning the things that other kids have time to focus on. Other things come into play here too such as the source of the learning.
Using my own daughter as an example, she would not learn as much with the preschool teacher's aide as she did with the teacher. One time the aide gave my daughter a test and my daughter was hesitant to answer thereby being assumed less intelligent than the other children. I knew she was extremely bright and requested a copy of the test. I proceeded to ask my daughter the test questions plus a range of extras to ensure that she was not just answering from memory and she got 100%.
I asked my daughter about the test and why she had trouble answering the question. She told me it was because she felt that the aide did not like her. I found this to be true. The teacher's aide was holding a grudge for a tantrum that my daughter threw when she first started preschool and when she thought nobody was watching, she would ignore my daughter in preference for other children etc. My daughter was not fooled by the occasional nice word from her (they never are) and followed her instincts.
The psychic child may seem to be more sensitive to what people say because they not only get the words, they get the feelings that come with it. If someone with strong energy directs that energy at a child, it can literally inflict physical pain - you can feel it inside. The psychic child who has a strong connection to his/her guides or the other side will be very aware of karma and so will try very hard to do what is right. They will also seem to over-react in situations where they are offended against because they are aware of what a big impact this can truly have and also, their connection to the other side makes them very conscious of how things should be and how kind we should be to each other and can be quite horrified at any form of offence or pain one person causes another. People who do not realize or understand can see them as a coward or too soft, but it's not so. They are simply wise.
The healer child will be naturally good with people and can sometimes heal with a touch, but they'll be unaware of the fact that they are taking in energy and they can suffer side effects from it so if you see your child reach out to another and help them, make sure that you help them to remove it somehow soon after - perhaps a bath or something would be helpful.
What to do:
It should not be the case, but western society is not advanced enough emotionally to accept the admission of psychic ability in children so you cannot walk into a school and tell the teacher that your child is psychic and that is why they seem to be needing to catch up, therefore, you are left with one alternative and that is to help the child learn what they need to. Gently and at home, teach the child what they need to in order to catch up. You can also find games to play with them where they must consciously focus on something for a while without becoming distracted. To do this, you may need to do a range of activities or something that's changing often such as an activity book. The psychic child gets bored very quickly because the physical is just not as interesting as the spiritual and because it's hard to focus when your mind keeps wandering so you need to keep a variety of activities to draw the child's attention back to what he/she was doing. Let's not underestimate autistic, mongoloid and other children who can have very strong psychic abilities. Being aware of what they're feeling and experiencing can help make their lives and yours much easier.
Use games to teach your child how to deal with emotional situations that they may seem to overreact with. Teach them how they should respond and teach them that others do not necessarily see and feel as much as they do so that they can understand that the other children are not meaning to be so mean, they simply don't feel your child's emotions and didn't know that they caused pain. Kids can be easily distracted normally and tend to hit out without thinking. The psychic child feels pain so intensely and does not understand that it is not the same for all people so once you explain this to them, it may help. You will need to help them understand that they are special and although this can be difficult, it also means that they can understand more than others.
Teach the child that when they suddenly feel pain, anger and other emotions for no reason, they should tell you. You can help them by supplying a range of crystals, a plant or other things to help them. A pet is a wonderful aid to a psychic child. Decorate their room appropriately so that they have lots of light and air coming through at all times. They don't do well in dark, cluttered spaces because the items gather energy quickly and they can feel stifled so constant rotation of toys and keeping the bedroom tidy helps a lot. This should follow through the entire home. The psychic child usually inherits the ability from one or both parents and you'll find that cleansing the home will help everyone.
Finally, help any other members of the family understand the sensitivity and the experiences that the psychic child would be having. There's no need to baby the child. They are very smart like all children and will learn quickly to expect special treatment that will create a problem for you later on. It's enough that the child learns helpful practices to deal with the situation and also that they understand that they are perfectly normal. It's just that the part of the brain that works the psychic ability is more active in some people.
