Children Who Sense Spirit
And how to support them
Approach your child's spiritual sense with curiosity
Recently, I’ve had many clients seeking guidance on understanding their children’s spiritual gifts.
When I was young, I saw spirits as if they were invisible friends. My mum would often ask if I wanted friends over after school, but I already had plenty of company—my Spirit Guides. It was a confusing time since I didn’t realise that others couldn’t sense spirits and the adults around me couldn’t comprehend my experiences.
Nighttimes were the most challenging. Electrical devices would flash on and off around me, especially the washing machine, lights, and TV. Wristwatches would run backward on me, and the music on Dad’s radio would turn to static if I got too close. I felt uncomfortable being “alone” at night because I could hear spirits moving around me. The more fear I felt, the more I sensed the presence of pets that had passed over. I could feel their weight where they used to sleep on my bed.
My twin daughters, Maddison and Charlotte, also have trouble at night. It seems my spiritual gifts have been passed down to them. Charlotte can see the spirits more easily, while Maddison can feel their energy. When the distractions of the daytime fade away, their senses become heightened.
The spirits that visit us are usually family members and loved ones just checking in. However, this can be unsettling when it is unknown.

Quick & Effective Tips to Help YOUR Child
Below are some strategies I use to help my children feel settled with their spiritual gifts:
Create a Safe Space: Ensure your child’s room feels safe and secure. Nightlights and comforting objects can help.
Open Communication: Encourage your children to talk about their experiences without fear of judgment.
Grounding Techniques: Teach them grounding exercises to help them stay connected to the present moment.
Set Boundaries: Help them understand they can set boundaries with spirits, such as asking them not to disturb their sleep.
Seek Support: Make time with professionals to better unpack your fears and insecurities so that you can approach your child with a clear perspective.
Protective Shield Visualization: Teach them to imagine a protective shield of light around them that repels unwanted energies.
Cleansing Practices: Regularly cleanse their living space with tools like sage or incense to remove any negative energies.
Positive Affirmations: Encourage the use of positive affirmations to reinforce their protection and boundaries.
Trust Their Intuition: Remind them to trust their instincts and intuition when it comes to their spiritual experiences.
Listen to Your Child: It is important to listen to your child as if they are telling you the truth. After all, it is their perception of what’s going on for them.
Empower Your Child: Find ways to empower your child so that they are in charge. Sometimes, it’s as simple as commanding the spirit to leave.
Visualize Protection: Encourage your child to imagine a protective dragon or angel to be with them. This means the burden is not all on them.
Use Protective Crystals: My girls have a few protective crystals to keep by their bed, which absorb their worry and help them sleep. Smoky Quartz and Amethyst are fantastic for this. Etsy or eBay are great places to buy them. You can call them “sweet dreams” crystals.
Maintain a Decluttered Space: It is healthier to sleep in a decluttered space, as well as energetically clean. Some creative mums get their children to vacuum the monsters away! I LOVE IT. As an energy worker, I cleanse the room to bring the space back into harmony.

This was one of the most effective tools for calming my daughter Maddy at night. Poor sleep can be detrimental to your child’s mood and behavior! The Sensory Compression Blanket is one of the most effective tools for calming your sensory child, relieving anxiety, and transforming your bedtime routine from hours to minutes.
"Safe Spray " (lavender oil in water spray bottle)
Have a spray bottle of water and lavender oil labelled “safe spray.” This tool can be used in their room to ‘cleanse’ the energy. Lavender Oil supports restful sleep and promotes a calm and peaceful mind.
Take mirrors out of your Childs bedroom
Most Feng Shui experts say that mirrors in your bedroom create unlucky energy. A mirror facing your bed depletes your personal energy and creates sleeplessness. It is believed that your soul leaves your body when you sleep. When there are mirrors in your bedroom, it makes it difficult for the soul to return as it mistakes the image in the mirror for the real body.
If your child is fearful at night, the energy of the mirror’s reflection can be an easy ‘portal’ for the spirit to look into your child’s room. It can be intrusive. I highly recommend taking mirrors out of your Child’s room.
Arch Angel Metatron
When your child is experiencing emotional upheavals, learning issues, feeling stuck, and needing strength and support, Metatron is the archangel to call in. He watches over the energy flow in creation and provides a connection to the divine.
His role is to help children feel empowered, enhance their spiritual connection, and learn how to love themselves. He is especially equipped to help if your child has ADD, ADHD, Dyslexia, or unique spiritual gifts (such as star children, indigo children, and rainbow children).

Arch Angel Metatron
We all have our own Guardian Angels who are with us to help us navigate this lifetime on Earth. We also have connections to Angels, Archangels, and Guides. When we need their help, all we need to do is set the intention, place a hand on our hearts, and ask them to be with us. Time does not exist in the spirit world, so they can be with us at the speed of thought.
When your child is experiencing emotional upheavals, learning issues, feeling stuck, and needing strength and support, Metatron is the archangel to call upon. He watches over the energy flow in creation and provides a connection to the divine.
Metatron’s role is to help children feel empowered, enhance their spiritual connection, and learn how to love themselves. He is especially equipped to help if your child has ADD, ADHD, Dyslexia, or unique spiritual gifts (such as star children, indigo children, and rainbow children).
While Metatron has magnificent healing abilities, he is one of the two Archangels who experienced human life (known in the Bible as “Enoch”). This means he can relate to how heavy the 3D energy is here on Earth and can help you and your child release burdensome energy by clearing impurities from your aura and energy field.
Metatron likes to work with sacred geometry, known as “Metatron’s Cube.” Meditating or focusing on this grid can help relax you and transform your negative thinking into a higher 5D perspective. Metatron helps people accelerate their spiritual awakening and connect to their higher purpose.
If your child is experiencing a hard time, call forth Metatron. Visualize Metatron’s Cube around your child like a protective, energetic barrier. You can also visualize mirrors around your child so that the energy that people project onto them is reflected back to those upsetting them (such as bullies at school). This will ensure they don’t take it on. If your child is aware of energy, they are most likely an empath. They will take on other people’s stressful energy to keep the peace in the moment. They will need help to discharge this energy and respectfully learn energetic boundaries. An empath’s path is to learn about self-empowerment.
Additional Tips for Supporting Empaths:
Energy Discharge Techniques: Teach your child techniques to discharge excess energy, such as physical exercise, creative activities, or spending time in nature.
Teach Emotional Awareness: Help your child differentiate between their own emotions and those of others. Encourage them to check in with themselves regularly.
Create a Routine: Establish a consistent daily routine to
