Your Psychic Child: How to Raise Intuitive & Spiritually Gifted Kids of All Ages Hot

The last few years have spurred bundles of Harry Potter-esque fiction which most often depicts "regular" people discovering their psychic or witchly talents. I like to read these for a few reasons: the first is to assess the level of magical knowledge the writer has obtained; the second is because it tickles me to think of "the next generation" knowing they can hone psychic talents in similar ways to soccer skills. A second emerging book form focuses on parenting spiritually gifted children. These books span a wide range from recommending regimented routine (the psychic equivalent of practicing scales) to suggesting avoiding any skill-building and focusing simply on "good intentions." I have not found many books that deal practically with the trifecta of parenting, providing knowledge to people with limited to no experience with psychic abilities AND taking into account the specialized ways to joyfully teach children.

This book covers them all and is a great "how-to" guide for parents to avoid squashing their children's innate connection to the Divine. It delivers a great deal of practical information on psychic abilities in a decidedly relaxed manner. This can help avoid some of the adult pitfalls, such as trying out a new guided imagery while fighting off that fear of "what if I'm doing IT wrong?" Some of Sara Wiseman's pithy comments include: "if your kid is doing it differently than how it started, that's fine...and "Remind your child they always have the control to ask for help from you or the Divine if they need...." I also love her statement: "Having a schedule with less in it often means a great deal more." I love this recommendation of "downtime," hours that might be spent looking at clouds, petting animals or futzing in the yard. This is described as a way of helping train minds to more easily enter the psychic and spiritual realms. I would obviously recommend this book to parents, but also to anyone interested in some basic information about different types of psychic abilities and practical ways to increase a sense of Connection.
