Hello there

From my interest in 'higher powers' I have read that young children are able to see spirits because of their different state of conciousness that most adults block out.  Is this true?

I ask this because of my son.  He was only 19 months old when his daddy passed last year.  He recognises him from photos and things, im not sure what he exactly remembers about daddy tho, he was very young.  I dont openly make a point about talking about 'daddy', so anything he comes up with is purely from his memory being triggered by seeing a photo or maybe something familar that he relates to daddy.

He is now 2.5 and a typical two year old!  Hes communication is getting better but is still pretty vague, even tho he gets his point across.  He has a very vivid imagination and will often make up random stuff like 'oh no a trains coming to get me!' and so on.  Even blames stuff on his baby sister!  Since we moved into a new house a couple of months ago he has suddenly started talking about daddy again, will come out with random stuff like 'bye daddy! oh daddies gone now' and even told me that daddy  growled him when he went out the gate (which is a no no!).  So do you think its likely he is seeing his fathers spirit?  Or is it just his imagination making up stuff about daddy, like the trains, and the man thats coming to get him, and other little games he plays!  

Any feedbak would be appreciated, also share your stories of your young ones or young ones you know communicationg with spirits.  

Hi,

First of all, I'm very sorry about your son's father's passing.  I gather he was very young (as you are!).

Your son sounds wonderful!  I can't say if he's communicating with his father; I can only tell you that the one and only time (as far as I can remember) that I remember having any spirit contact up until a year or so again was when I was about 5.  My father (who I hadn't really known very well) had recently committed suicide.  I was sleeping one night with a box of candy (well, I was FIVE!!   ), and I woke up to hear a man's voice calling my name, and I could feel someone trying to pull the box away from me (I wasn't letting go--again, I was FIVE, and at that age you don't give up your candy very easily--even to the spirit of your father!).  Then it stopped, and I went back to sleep.  I seem to have known right then who it was, and it didn't bother me much, as I recall.

After that, there was nothing until I was 45!  In my family, no one believes that anyone could possibly communicate with spirits (or, if they do, they won't let anyone else know!), so I guess that maybe if I had the ability then, I simply shut it down until I was ready again.

Have you talked to your son about it?  It's kind of a tough one--my son is nine, and sometimes I wonder if he "sees things" too, but I'm kind of hesitant to bring it up for fear of freaking him out or something.  I've been giving a lot of thought on how to approach it, because I wouldn't want him to "shut down" as I did.  Can you just say, very lightly and gently, "Have you been talking to Daddy?" or something along those lines, and then just kind of go with it without trying to lead your son in one direction or another?

Thanks for sharing that!

With children it is best to wait for their input.  They will decide what is being said or done and they will share when ready.  The main thing is to believe them as some would not.  Love and honor their spirit input.

My granddaughter sees spirits.  She will talk about someone in the room and her mother doesn't them. When mom asks her to show her all the people in the room, there are sometimes 3 or 4 extra.  Her mom accepts it and lets my granddaughter know that she is ok.
When the cat died we were careful to let her know that the cat has passed over. When she talks about the car being there, we agree and support her.
She sees things at times in her room when going to sleep. If she is afraid, she is being taught to tell the spirit to go away. Occasionally we can hear her telling someone in her room to just go away. If the Spirit is talking with her, we encourage her to ask the Spirit to talk with her when later in her sleep or tomorrow.

If your son is seeing and talking with his father, honor his sharing.  Listen, accept it and let him know it is natural and ok. If you trust that it is his dad, then thank his dad  for being there for your son.
The Spirits that are being supportive and protecting your son, always thank for their participation.

Thanx for your replies

Id love to ask him about it more but hes still so young and could just make something up.  The other day it was my daughters first birthday and I did quietly ask him if daddy was here today, he said 'daddy gone to work' so i just left it at that lol.  When he told me that daddy had growled him out the gate, I happened to be punishing him with 'time out' anyway, and I just said 'good!  im glad daddy growled you for being out the gate coz you shouldnt be there!!!!'.  When he gets older I plan to tell him that hes lucky he can see daddy, hes there watching over him and his sister.

My skeptic partner is even quite suprised by all of this!  I think its really nice because I think its really sad my ex is missing out on the children and I wish so much he could see them (even tho it was his choice to leave us all behind), so I hope he can.
