Psychic Children: Revealing the Intuitive Gifts and Hidden Abilities of Boys and Girls (Thorndike Basic) [Large Print] [Hardcover]

Sylvia Browne (Author), Lindsay Harrison (Author)

Book Description

Series: Thorndike Basic | Publication Date: December 2007

The respected New York Times best-selling psychic shares profound stories of how children can be channels to the Other Side.

Children have vivid imaginations, imaginary friends, and a heightened sense of good and evil. Sylvia Browne believes that they also have psychic gifts. Children can see and hear residents of the spirit world because they were there not long ago, and they are still tuned to the higher frequency of the Other Side.

In Sylvia's view, psychic gifts are special blessings from God. Some children learn to develop them; others are pressed to ignore them. When Sylvia revealed her own psychic abilities at age three, her mother tolerated but never encouraged them. Her own son exhibited abilities as a toddler, which she fully embraced and supported.

Society has been conflicted about children's psychic gifts—sometimes cherishing them, sometimes stifling them. Writing from personal experience and a lifetime of learning, America's leading psychic illuminates the phenomenon, issuing a call to society for more understanding and acceptance of these remarkable children.

From the Back Cover

Children have more power than you think. In Psychic Children, New York Times bestselling author Sylvia Browne shares stories of mystery, surprise, and faith involving children of all ages.

A child's world is comprised of extraordinary things— vivid imaginations, imaginary friends, Zen-like naïveté, and a heightened sense of good and evil. But psychic Sylvia Browne recognizes that all children also have unusual psychic gifts and abilities.

After Browne's own psychic abilities were revealed at age three, her mother tolerated but never encouraged her startling talent. What Browne has learned over a lifetime is that psychic gifts are present at incredibly tender ages; they are, in her view, special blessings from God. In Psychic Children she illuminates the phenomenon, issuing a call to society for more understanding and acceptance of the remarkable psychic abilities of children. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

3.0 out of 5 stars Easy read, informative, but not a lot of new information., August 18, 2007

This review is from: Psychic Children: Revealing the Intuitive Gifts and Hidden Abilities of Boys and Girls (Hardcover)

The strengths of this book are that it flows nicely, is an easy read and has good content. Therein is a problem though in that the content is largely rehashed from her previous books. If you've read more than a couple of Sylvias books, you've probably read about 90% of the content of this book. To some it may be comforting to read more of her work, to others it may be annoying reading much of the same content over and over.

I am rating it 3 stars because of the fact that so much of the topics in this book have already been covered in her other books. As a stand alone book, for someone new to Sylvia's work, I would probably rate this 4 stars. Not her best work, but certainly not her worst.

Bless her heart,Sylvia does it again,God love her.I have read so many books thru-out my life on psychic children and all I ever came up with were books on Indigo,rainbow and crystal children in vague theory or complex jargon..enough to boggle a parent and or psychic persons mind.This book is so indepth in explanation and a very helpful guide for parents who are trying to understand their child's ability in such easy to read and easy to understand terms.Sylvia speaks on every conceivable ability regarding not only psychic children(although they are the focus of this book)but for adults also who are just opening up psychically and wanting to learn what they are experiencing.This is a must have book for not only parents of psychic children but also for adults who have unintentionally shunned their own abilities due to societal thinking/rules,religious teachings etc which made people feel weird about what they were experiencing.The time has come to stand up and accept that we are all spiritual beings with many God given abilities.Sylvia as usual speaks candidly as only she could do.Finally truth be told!She also adds practice to helping your child and self.A definite must have.

This review is from: Psychic Children: Revealing the Intuitive Gifts and Hidden Abilities of Boys and Girls (Hardcover)

Thanks to Sylvia Browne's straight foward writting style your able to understant what goes on in the mind of a psychic child. It was very informative but the only drawback was that it contained excerpts of letters that were written to her asking if their children were normal. Although the letters were warrented they became a bit of a distraction. On the other hand she gave a great deal of insight on ways to help encourage your childs gift. So in short it was at the very least thought provoking.
