Manage episode 380266925 series 3478860
In this episode, I explore why kids often exhibit a natural sensitivity to the metaphysical world and how, as parents, we can navigate and support these unique encounters. Join me as I share personal stories, practical tips, and insights to help you understand and assist your child on their intuitive journey. Whether you're a parent seeking guidance or a curious young listener, this episode is an exploration into the world of psychic/intuitive sensitivity in children.
In this episode I address the following:

Conditioning by Society:
- Children, especially in North America, are naturally open before societal conditioning takes hold.
- The unfiltered connection they feel is considered normal until influenced otherwise.
Varying Degrees:
- Not every child will experience intuitive moments, and those who do may vary in their degree of sensitivity
