Signs Your Child Is Highly Sensitive and Sees Spirits – Guidance from Barbara and Ben
Does your child seem unusually aware—reacting to noises others miss or talking about ‘friends’ you can’t see? As a trance medium with over 20 years of experience, I’ve worked with my spirit guide Ben to help parents understand when their child might be highly sensitive and seeing spirits. Whether you’re in the US, Europe, or beyond, this page explores the signs and offers gentle ways to support your little one’s unique gift.
What Does It Mean to Be Highly Sensitive and See Spirits?
Highly sensitive children (HSCs) feel the world deeply—sounds, emotions, and energies overwhelm them more than others. Some go further, sensing spirits, a gift Ben says often shows up young. I’ve seen this in countless readings: kids picking up on the other side before they can explain it. It’s not imagination—it’s intuition. Recognizing this can ease their path and yours.
10 Signs Your Child Might Be Highly Sensitive and Seeing Spirits
Ben and I have identified these clues—watch for a mix of sensitivity and spiritual awareness:
1. Overwhelmed by Noise: They cover their ears or cry in loud places—sensitivity to energy overload, Ben notes.
2. Vivid Nightmares: Dreams of people or places they’ve never seen—spirit visits often come at night.
3. Talking to ‘Imaginary’ Friends: They describe details (names, clothes) too specific for make-believe—Ben says it’s real contact.
4. Sudden Mood Shifts: Happy one moment, tearful the next—they’re feeling unseen energies, not just tantrums.
5. Staring at Nothing: They fixate on empty corners or giggle at thin air—spirits might be there, says Ben.
6. Fear of the Dark: Not just typical fear—they sense presences others miss.
7. Describing Past Events: They mention things they shouldn’t know—like a grandparent’s story—spirit whispers, Ben confirms.
8. Strong Empathy: They cry when others hurt, absorbing emotions like a sponge—sensitivity amplified by spirit.
9. Odd Reactions to Places: Refusing certain rooms or shivering in old houses—they feel lingering energies.
10. Seeing Shadows or Lights: Brief glimpses of shapes or sparkles—Ben calls this their spirit sight opening.
Seeing a few of these? Your child might be tuned into both worlds.
How Parents Can Best Support Their Sensitive, Spirit-Seeing Child
Raising a child like this is a privilege—and a challenge. Here’s Ben’s guidance, honed by my work with families worldwide:
- Listen Without Judgment: If they say, ‘Grandma’s here,’ ask what she looks like—validate, don’t dismiss. Ben says this builds trust.
- Create Calm Spaces: A quiet corner with soft lights or a favorite toy reduces overwhelm—sensitivity needs peace.
- Teach Grounding: Show them to touch the ground or hold a stone when scared—Ben says it anchors their energy.
- Set Boundaries with Spirits: Teach them to say, ‘Not now,’ to unseen visitors—empowerment starts young.
- Watch for Overload: Crowds or chaos can exhaust them.
- Seek Clarity with a Reading: In a phone session, I connect with Ben to identify who’s reaching out and how to guide your child. Clients say it brings peace to the whole family.
Why This Gift Matters
Ben sees these kids as bridges—linking our world to the next. Sensitivity and spirit sight aren’t problems to fix; they’re strengths to nurture. We have entered the Age of Aquarius; more paranormal children will be born.
