Child hearing voices...any insight?

I was wondering if someone might be able to give me some insight and/or advice on how to handle a situation i have most recently found myself in.

My 5 year old son asked me very out of the blue whether voices ever talk to me. I told him no and asked him if voices were talking to him. He told me yes, that they whisper his name repeatedly at night. Mostly when he is in bed or at idle moments (which aren't often with a 5 year old). He has mentioned a few other times since that the "people" were calling for him. I have a very open mind and am somewhat intrigued with this situation, although i'm not sure what it means or what I should say to him. Any suggestions?

 

isn't 'the people' a common representation of tribal ? you could explore that maybe . through stories or pictures or ... a gathering !


hearing voices :

the mind can be so dramatic , eh ? a playwrite hears voices .
the prophet hears authority in the mind-voice .
too , we are all connected by feeling .
for now , i'd think his tribe is yours both ways
and all ways .

i hear music . the other night it it was a strangely interesting sound effect just directly behind my head and like only a computer could make . i most always assume i personally have a great deal to do with inventing such things , tho , mostly these hallucinations do have a definite feeling of intuitive intersection with 'otherness' . i intersected with a puter program ? huh ...

 

i was the same way when i was 5. and even younger. it's not a big deal. he'll get use to it. just tell him your there for him if it ever gets scary. my parents didn't beleive me, and that just would have helped me, knowing someone beleived me.

 

echos, and voices are as rain drops. Most children hear voices, or see things. Do not make this a wow kind of conversation. He will be guided by your reactions. Let him know he has a safe place to talk, and also let go of his own fears.

The other side travels through our emotions, and attachments to the connections. Kind of like tuning into a radio station frequency. Often with children this passes.

When this connection does not pass, how you reacted will color where he takes this emotionally. As with any conversation, we do not need to take part, or respond unless we so choose. A childs innocencs protects them in ways we have yet to understand.

My oldest out grew this by about age seven. Now she just has an inner ability to read people. In her job that is a good thing.

 

Thanks for the comments everyone! During the few conversations he and I have had about the voices calling him, I have reassured him that he can talk me about what is going on and can come to me if he gets scared. He doesn't seem bothered by it at all so I guess all is well Thanks again!

 

Believe the child. What is important, is not whether people speak to him or not, but what are they saying to him. There is a very thin veil between the seen and the unseen world. Ask your son to listen to the voices and let him tell you what is he hearing.

AMOU, I do believe my son, and I have told him so. Thus far "they" have just been calling to him. He told me they just repeat his name over and over in a chanting sort of fashion. I have no idea what this means so I appreciate all comments. Thanks

 

when i was younger i heard voices a couple of times most parents brush it off as an over active imagination. i think as a child you are more suceptible to hearing spirits because maybe your sense of "reality" hasnt set in, so spirits are more able to contact you.
but these are just my beliefs.

 

I dont know if he was a teenager id say schizophrenia. But its rather rare in kids. As long as it doesnt interfere with his life, as long as he doesnt have to Endure reality its ok.

if it keeps goin and you see it kinda invades him id say go see a psychiatrist. Maybe its just his imagination too.

but check on him...personally id kinda worry

 

please believe the child..whatever you do at leased see how it develops. your child must be telling the truth because how many kids at that age come up and say mummy i can hear dead people whispering in my ear. I used to hear people when I was around that age, even see them, I dont see them as well as I used to now but I can still hear them every now and then, but thats probably because i didnt get much encouragement in that category, my mother thaught it was my imagination too, but If your curious as to how far this gift could develop I really do think you should encourage it, ask your child questions, come into the room and let him introduce you to the spirits he may allready be brfriending. If you dont want it to develop thats fine but it may come back stronger later on and scare him.

 

If it isn't a past life satanic type of thing, then chances are that it may be a past life meditation sort of thing. As he grows up he may be a candidate for meditation, to see if he can make the mind stop thinking. At the very least he may need to be close to nature where there may be less vocies in the ether. (That doesn't always work, though, as I have sensed spirits in all sorts of places. But he might find mountain tops quieting.)

So, if he died chanting in his previous life, it may have carried over to this life. In which case it should disappear after awhile because chances are that his name will "outgrow" his former name. But because he can't remember his past name his subconscious is identifying with his present name.

As a meditator, his first meditation may be "who am I?" (Obviosule he is not his name... ) In which case his trying to find that out may silence his present voices.

 

uhh..schizophrenia?

 

Children are said to be more able to tune in to spirits ect but apparently most of them lose the ability as they get older!

 

firstly children are close to the spirit world . the spirits talking to him could be one or three things 1- either family members who have past over or 2- he "s a natural born medium 3 - he is hearing spirits which as he grows older will cease. just a couple of questions 1 = has he said to you that he sees these spirits ? 2 = has he told you any names ?...........hope this helps .

 

Tell him to ask them nicely what they need. . .

 

He could be tuning in to the other side...the voices he hears could be of relatives who had passed on, or maybe his spirit guide. Encourage it...but make sure he knows he can talk to you and you will beleive him about it. Ask him for the names of the people he talks to , it might surprise you. Recently my three year old son told me in March, a tree fell on his house in Mexico...I believe he was remembering a past life...it's amazing what children can see and hear and remember.

 

the angels call us out by name. only certain people choose to hear them. Let him know that he can make them go away if they start to bother him.


There's a fabulous book by Sonja Choquette (I may have misspelled her name) called The Wise Child about fostering your child's intuition. I strongly encourage you to read it. Teach him to trust his instincts.

 

I have conversations with other people in my mind--a couple of them even admitted out loud that they're doing that with me. I had an e-mail conversation once with a woman who told me she grew up in a family where telepathy was accepted and practiced, so she had mental conversations with her family members.


As long as it's not causing anybody problems, it can be an amazing and fascinating thing.

 

First of all this is really no big deal at all, but most of the people in the world have forgotten or been brainwashed by the insanity of the adult world.

Children/everyone has the abilities to see beyond but the world slowing conditions them that they can't, won't, isn't, don't, aren't, will not see or hear things that are not there.......Whatever!

Think about it people. Do you know or remember where you even came from? Do you know where you go when you sleep? Do you know the meaning of life?

Most children are much more connected to the universe than we adults are. We condition children to live in our world, not the other way around.

Spirits, Ghosts, voices etc...should not ever be dismissed or belittled and never take them to a worthless shrink, unless they are demonstrating destructive behaviors. Most professionals I know in the field of mental health are screwed up themselves, as well as their extended families.

Ask your child who or what they see. Encourage them always and you will see the other world through their eyes and learn.

We are in an age of awakening and many people will realize very soon that their individual powers they give up to others so easily are better handled by the original owner. You are are extremely powerful and you don't even see it, unless you stop giving your universal right away and listen to your inner self people will be in a state of chaos and confusion.

In conclusion know one knows better than you.
