I have watched this program in A&E. One of the "caring experts" is the great Chip Coffee (the phychic who appears in almost every episode of Paranormal State). It is very well done, and seems to really help these young kids. It is a very interesting and entertaining program.

As someone who was born psychic I have a deep appreciation for the help the children on these shows are getting from a very qualified and gifted psychic - Chip Coffey. The basic episodes follow the path of introducing you the children who have abilities and are not able to move forward with them or have fears about them or are misunderstood by family and community. An expert in psychology and a professional psychic come in and speak with one of these children then bring them all together in situations to face together as a group. the children face their fears, make new friends(the other children) and come away having a sense of their true selves.

An excellent series that I have recommended over and over to anyone who is interested in psychic mediums or to those who have abilities or children with gifts - and everyone else ;-)

I thought this series was interesting and I looked forward to the DVD. The care and understanding is so positive and helpful to the children involved. The DVD I received had one flaw, but it may have just been this one disk. I think it was the bonus episode or possibly the last program on the disk, that maybe within the last ten minutes of it, the sound was badly out of sync, not just a second or two, maybe more like a minute. Makes me think they are rushing these things out as soon as possible and not being very careful of any flaws. Again, it could just be this one disk, and its not enough of a problem to return it, but it was annoying. I still love the show itself.

As a professional Psychic and Art Director for over 12 years, I was really happy to see a program focusing on helping children understand, harness and develop their paranormal abilities. As the mainstream is becoming more aware and beginning to accept the reality of PSI abilities, it is important to have information and guidance available to the children who are dealing with their gifts. I highly commend Chip Coffey and Dr. Lisa Miller for taking on this endeavor. I wish I had this sort of information available when I was a child struggling to understand and find some sort of validation for my own gifts, rather than having to find my way on my own during my developing years. The only criticism I have is in the actual editing, art direction and sound design of the series. Although I understand the need to create interest and keep the audiences attention in the show, I feel the effects and sound design were a bit over the top and overly dramatic, which in my opinion, takes away from the actual content of the show, lessens the validity of ESP abilities and made it seem a bit "hokey" and "hollywoodised". Other than that, again I applaud A&E for taking on such a program and putting it out to the world.

This documentary of children gifted with various talents within the realm of the paranormal is quite a fascinating trip!
If your a medium and/or have had a taste of the paranormal yourself in some way, this film is especially for you!~~As it can help validate your own personal encounters pertaining to the supernatural, as you watch these very bright, intelligent children open up and share their true stories to the world. It's also an enlightening experience to see how Chip Coffey takes each one of the kids under his wing, and literally teaches them how to manage their gifts both on an individualistic level and within a group setting. So if you yourself has "repressed" any of your gifts due to fear, open up and live through their experiences~allow them to be your guides ...

If you have any interest in the paranormal this series will get your attention. Physic medium Chip Coffey and child psychologist, Dr. Lisa Miller interview and eventually help children understand and learn to live with their psychic gifts. It's an interesting series and watching these children, who many for the first time, interact with someone who is encouraging and accepting is rewarding and touching. It is also educational as to how these children learn to use their psychic abilities in a safe nonthreatening environment. I highly recommend this DVD. Pop the popcorn and get ready to pull the covers over your head. This is the real deal not fiction amd you'll truly enjoy it.

This is a great show I had no idea that children suffered with such things. I am so sorry that other children treat them so badly, it is only because they are scared an do not understand it is a gift instead of a curse. It is not evil only if the persons chooses for it to be. From this program it shows they are normal children with a gift from God, and weak minded people that will not open themself up to others being different.

I agree with the previous review. One episode (disc 2), is seriously out of audio/video sync, preventing me from giving this otherwise excellent set 5 stars.

There is only one problem with the series "Psychic Kids"...we need more episodes!! This is one of the most interesting and watchable TV programs out there. Chip Coffey is an empathetic yet empowering mentor to young, confused and frequently frightened, children whose gifts seem to exceed their levels of understanding. MORE!! MORE!! MORE!!

Chip Coffey hits a home run in this series. Children with psychic abilities are introduced, and their challenges with growing up with unique gifts are illustrated. Chip helps the kids by giving them ways to cope with their skills, and helps parents accept their children and their gifts. Parents are also given support tools and methods of helping their kids.

Even if you don't believe in the paranormal, it is clear that Chip has truely helped these kids adjust to adolescent life.
