A Sixth Sense?

The World of Highly Intuitive Children

By Carma Haley Shoemaker

Pages:  1  2  3  4  

It has long been suggested that many famous, well-known and even renounced public figures began as intuitive children. Documentation and stories have shown that Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, Leonardo da Vinci, Winston Churchill and Emily Dickinson were all intuitive children who suffered during childhood for their talents. Throughout the world, there are many children who are future inventors, politicians, leaders, athletes, authors or movie stars who currently share in the same conflict.

"All children are naturally intuitive," says Litany Burns, author of The Sixth Sense of Children: Nurturing Your Child's Intuitive Abilities. "From the moment they first enter the physical world as infants, they spontaneously rely on their sixth sense for communication and protection. It is what they innately know. Like animals, they rely on these primary unspoken impressions for their physical daily survival before language, mental and social skills have developed."

By Any Other Name
Whether you call it intuition, intuitiveness, an uncanny sense, a gift, ESP or "just knowing things," children of every culture, religion and race have it – and have it naturally. "The sixth sense in children is not isolated or unique as most thriller movies or books would have you believe," says Burns. "There are millions of very normal intuitive children playing, working, sleeping and dreaming all over the world today. They play in city streets, on the fields of farmlands or in suburban backyards. They are poor and rich; black, white, yellow and brown; short and tall; male and female. Physical background does not limit their special abilities. Each child's sixth sense is as natural as loving, learning and breathing."

Making Sense
They say children can sense when a parent is frustrated, angry, agitated or sad. Well, according to Burns, it's true. "Parapsychological studies have shown interesting aspects concerning intuitive behavior in [children]," says Burns. "It has been reported that when a [child] is placed in the same room as a person who feels tired or stressed, without that person showing an outward sign of his condition, the [child] will react by being jumpy, fretful and agitated for no apparent reason."
