Children

[avaron]

no one is really normal but still children are really hard to deal with

[ate]

I'm waiting. I think you all should. There will be a better time. Then everything can continue.

well kids are not things that we can mold as easy as most think they will go their own way and getting them to believe in what you believe is very hard mostly when they come of age

If you get them at an early enough age, YES you can mold them.

If people waited until they're mature enough to make their own opinions to actually have opinions, then I'm sure the number of gay bashers and hardcore theists would plummet. But parents teach this stuff to their children, programming them, pounding it into them, forcing them to not believe anything otherwise would be correct.

[avaron]

well all well and good but even then they believe whatever you tell them at a young age but then when they come of age they start to wounder and rebel

Vanish...I was brought up in a Christian home. I'm still stuck in it until I gradaute. I am not going to force my children to truly do anything, but knowing me...and how my family is now, every single child of this family seems to have powers awakening. It's a struggle because how am I going to deal with my sister who was brought up Christian and doesn't know how to keep her mouth shut? I'm having to teach my cousin who is Christian. So...it's interesting.

After being ignored, not loved, and not accepted in this family of mine, I decided that it would be best if I brought up my child aware but in the end, let them choose what path they want to take. I know what they face, but we all have to face it at some point. I still have to go to church but I've stated point blank at the entire Youth Group "I'm pagan and happy about it." Actually...err...I use pagan loosely...since it was only one definition that fits me "not christian, muslim, or jewish." It's hard for people to accept that I don't have religion. Everybody looking for a label...ugh. Oh well. Labels suck. And I always seem to defy them mostly in the end.

You will find as yourselves age and begin to have kids they are not toys, and you cant mold them. you will start to understand the thinking of a child and as they develop into adults. you will take not of how ceriten things can move your child along. you will love this child and eventually it will depart from you.

you have to understand that your child will be simulare to what you are now. you have to ask yourself, do i wish i learnt all this younger? but then you have to ask, does my child want to this at a young age.

you will find in 90%of case's the childs parents will not hinder the childs progress,. but they will not corage it either. They let the child grow out of there abilites, or grow into them. ITS your childs personality that will decide this all. You are just there to help them along, not mold them into what 'you' think would be benificual for there development.
You will also find that a child will NOT sit still in order for you to teach him\her..

IMHO, the best way is to push forward differnet senarios in order for you child to develop at there own pace, and at there own desires. Like for eg. hey hunny, i have a ball in my hand *psiball* can you tell me what colour it is. if the child goes, what ball, then you say good boy/girl, if the child goes, oh its this big and its red, you say good boy/girl. can you see what i mean? why discorage your child and hinder there own development?

just dont force your child to become, what you had hoped to be. they are human flesh, you wouldnt like to be forced and pushed around, so why do that to them? in the end, its there own free will, so leave them at it.

Of course. I just want to encourage their abilities. I don't have religion....but like, if they follow any religion, I don't mind. I just hope that if they ever turn Christian or anything, that they don't condone me or love.

[lostdreamer]

If I were to ever have kids...need to work on the never having a boyfriend thing at age 19....I would wait. I hope that we can have a relationship where they can talk to me like when I talked to my mom when my abilities started really coming loose. I just want them to gain the best experience from their abilities. I am afraid that starting off at an early age might get them stuck with dealing with things when they should be able to be a kid and doing kid type things.

[fehoru]

I'm never going to 'have children of my own'. If I want a child I'll adopt.
I'll give them the choice, if they want to learn psychic abilities, then I'll do my best to teach. If they don't want to, they may only be children, but It's not my place, to tell _anyone_ what they should believe in, or to force them to learn something they don't want to.

Doubt I'll ever choose to adopt though, I'm not patient enough to take care of a child

[Stealth]

with my child i would teach them from a young age on certain things and basic excercises mostly because i wish i knew about this stuf when i was younger , i would never force my child into anything that they trully hated because i want them to make themselfs. there is a quote in the book "the picture of dorian gray" by oscar wilde that goessomthing like this "there is no such thing as a good influence, all influence changes the origonal personality of the person" or somtin like that

[tkman]

i would let my kid or kids know but alos let them use it for good

[eldurner]

i think i'll tell my kids if it looks like something they would like to do. i've already shown my nephew and niece, (and theyre 7) and their not that bad at it. nothin really makes you feel as special as to hear "uncle, can you show me how to do powers again?"

but at the same time, i wouldnt go past psi balls and friendly contructs. and throw them in a karate class or something.

I have 2 kids who have both shown very obvious signs of abilities.Both too young just yet to explain much to them, but one thing is about kids-is that they are little adults in the making, with their own views,likes ,dislikes,personalities,ways of doing things & interests etc.
If they show interest in wanting to know & learn more, of course I would help them & guide them.I would never push any of these things onto them, if I didn`t feel they had any interest or want to try things of this nature.

My son has watched me practising on the psi wheel often & has asked what I`m doing-which I have explained in a basic way.He also `talks `to our dog (without using words) often & it is a very natural way that he communicates with her. I have not pointed out that this is not how most people may communicate with their pets(consciously)- as for now, it is a natural way of communicating with her that he can use.
I don`t want them to think/feel that these skills are unusual or weird.If they accept them & want to learn more, it will be up to them.
As they show interest,I will help them -if that`s what they show me/tell me that they want.

My children wont really be raised on psionis unless it is their own personal intrest, that goes for religion also.I wouldnt want to push my beliefs or anything on them as do most parents.but if i ever start to teach them occult like and psionic skills there would be a requirement for them to meditate from 11-12 or 10-11 depends on how much the can understand.id also prefer a girl over boy

[Mr.Experiment]

In my head, my mind has already made a plan for my children. Though, this plan will work best if I have fraternal twins. One which is a boy and one that is a girl.
