INTUITIVE, SPIRITUAL AND PSYCHIC INTELLIGENCES

Children exhibit many kinds of intelligences, from inter and intra personal to social, athletic, musical, creative, special, as well as linear and logical. I.Q. tests are inadequate measure of any of these intelligences except the linear/logical. Therefore, gifted children may be overlooked or labeled as pathological because they are more gifted in these non-measured areas.

Among the most marginalized intelligences in children are the intuitive, spiritual, and psychic/energetic. At very early ages, some children are talking about or exhibiting behaviors that can astound, embarrass, or frighten their parents and other adults who have no experience in this territory of gifts.

Very often these children are “clairsentient” (which means “clear feeling”) and they can pick up others’ denied or unspoken feelings and act out of them. Often children will pick up the moods, or feeling that their parents refuse to attend to or to examine and they will say or do things that represent those feelings. The parents may then punish the child for acting out, not realizing that if the parents choose to deal with their feelings the child will stop acting out.

Other children talk about the angels they see, have invisible friends, demonstrated precognition, telepathy, healing abilities and/or say cryptic things that they themselves cannot interpret but “know.” This is an area in which my research is only just beginning. James Twyman has been supporting children with these gifts through his conferences and through creating places where these children can gather and find like-gifted peers.
