Raising Intuitive Children
Raising Intuitive Children
By Dr. Caron Goode
Who Are They?
All children have the natural intelligence of intuition (II). Some children are highly skilled or gifted in this talent in the same way that others have a talent for math, music, languages or physical dexterity.
Since each of us has a preference in how we relate to the world, the book, Raising Intuitive Children, shows how children with an intuitive learning style and intuitive intelligence view and interact with people, tasks and the environment.
Children with intuitive intelligence have traits that manifest in different ways along a continuum of normal skills to gifted talents:
Children who learn through feelings and process information kinesthetically. (Intuitive learning mode)
Children who are creative and artistic and intuition drives their motivation. (Artistic drive for exploring and creating, entrepreneurial)
Children whose intuitive intelligence is like a radar reading other people and understanding them. (Empathy and interpersonal skills)
Children who have intuitive episodes like dreams or a flash of creative insight. (Deep insight, precognition)
Children who are psychic. (Awareness of non-physical worlds through all senses or a specific sense.)
Intuition is the common denominator of these talents, and all children have the same intuitive capacities. Like musical prodigies and math geniuses, children display their intuitive talents differently. Some educators call the intutive kids the right-brainers! (Better than no-brainers, I guess)
II is the new kid on the block
Education, parenting and psychology professionals recognize that children have multiple intelligences, and intuitive intelligence is the new kid on the block. All intelligences exist on a continuum of normal to gifted. There are math prodigies, musical geniuses and intuitive psychics. The traits for intuitive intelligence cluster into several groups:
Creative and inspired artists,
Sensitive and empathic feelers, and
Talents involving inner psychic awareness,
Spiritual intuitives
Intuitive intelligence stands as an entity deserving recognition. Brain mapping using EEG topography found that creativity and intuition are associated with theta waves usually linked with daydreaming or fantasizing. Theta waves are calm states in which intellectual activity at the conscious level isn't occurring. Children and adults with ADHD produce excessive theta waves.
Our logical mind addresses stable patterns, snapshots of reality stored in our memory banks, for the practical living. The holistic or holographic side of our reality, intuitive intelligence comes from within. By focusing our attention on how intuition presents, we act from deeper understanding.
Intuitive intelligence operates on gestalts or whole pieces of information and functions from our memory, not logic. Intuitive ability is finally recognized as the fuel behind innovation, creative thinking, inspiration, insight, and psychic experiences.
Intuition is an essential part of the human mind, which includes our conscious processes and unconscious processes-thought perception, emotion, will, memory, and imagination. Intuition involves nurturing self-awareness of the inner world, the outer world, and the connection in between
Connection is the key!
There is much we can do as parents to direct expressions of inventive and creative thoughts, help empaths deal with emotional overwhelm and establish resilience, face fears of ghosts. Children with intuitive intelligence, challenged by cultural systems which do not know how to connect with or teach them, need permission to follow their personal path and optimize their talent. We can give that permission and model it for them by developing our intuitive parenting. We also need to become intuitive parents.
Our truest parenting success is the feeling of resonance with our child, the connection of hearts, the meeting of minds-congruence.

The classiest outfit can be a sartorial nightmare if it is too baggy in the bum or if a button at the chest is pulling.

If you're current closet doesn't fit because you've gained or lost weight, seek out a neighborhood tailor to adjust it.

Just a few comments before I deliver!
Wow! It has been a minute. I can't say that I have not been busy...I am just 12 days away from delivery. Yep! Checking in at 9 am, Monday, April 14, 2008 hoping that Aidan James Orion will be checking in shortly there after!
Lot's of things going on... a few comments...
Here is what What About Our Daughters has to say about the recent reported activities of 12 year old girls in Dallas....
Is Your 12 Year Old Dancing on a Pole? No way? You sure about that?
Mothers and fathers of Black America, do you know where your daughters are? Well if your daughter is a 12 or 13 year old Black girl in Dallas, Texas, she might be naked right now dancing on the stage of a strip club or turning tricks in the champagne room in the back. Sorry, again, this is not an April Fool's joke- 12 an 13 years old on the stage in Dallas, TX.
Oh yes my friends 12 and 13. Now in one case, involving the 12 year old, she was taken in by a 27 year old BLACK WOMAN when the girl ran away from home. Of course the 27 year old was a stripperhooker and took the girl down to the club to fill out and application and when the girl couldn’t figure out what year she needed to have been born in to get the “job” the strip club manager was more than happy to help her with the math. KHOU
PTFTC:(Parenting Tips From the Childless) So Black parents you may want to have the “if you ever run away from home and get taken in by a stripper chances are she is working for a PIMP and PIMPs are BAD” conversation with your daughters.
Most of you will write off the case of the 12 year old because she was a “run-away” and your preciousness would NEVER run away from home so lets talk about the 13 year old to creep all of the “good ” parents out. The 13 year-old was not a run away… she went to a sleep over at another 13 year old’s house and somehow found herself at the strip club. Now we all know the 13 year olds didn’t drive themselves to the strip club....CAN I SAY KNOW WHO YOUR KIDS ARE HANGING OUT WITH....BY THE WAY, WHEN I WAS GROWING UP, MY MOTHER NEVER, LET ME REPEAT NEVA' LET US SPEND THE NIGHT AT ANYONE'S HOUSE!
The family of a 13-year-old girl still can't understand how a sleepover at a schoolmate's house went so wrong. [um probably because you had no clue about the company your daughter was keeping]
"I just can't believe it," said the teen's grandmother, who requested that her name not be used. "She's acting like she doesn't know why she did it or why she went."
The suspect, also 13, is accused of compelling prostitution, a second-degree felony that involves causing "by any means a person younger than 17 years to commit prostitution."
When undercover officers entered Metropolis early Saturday, the 13-year-old suspect's friend approached an officer and made a deal to perform a sex act for money, police say. Both girls were then taken into custody.
"It wasn't hard to spot her as a 13-year-old kid," Sgt. Fassett said. "You just take one look at her."
Vice unit officers were at the club to investigate reports that alcohol was being served after hours. DALLAS MORNING NEWS
OBAMA....OH BOY! Let me not even begin to go there...After all, I am delivering in 12days and may not complete the post in time. All I can say is. Let's Keep Hope Alive!
Recession...Many kids today have not a clue of what that means. In spite of what George W. believes...we are a Nation in Turmoil. If I were a college student, I would stay in school and get as many degrees as I can, so when the economy does improve I will be well prepared! In the meantime, save don't spend!
Now is just as good of time as any to talk to your child. It lets them know you care about their opinion and it lets you know where their mind is. I would not trust a teacher or school system to educate my child on what is going on in the world today. Take this opportunity to shape a mind, develop critical thinkers and children who are not afraid of having an educated opinion. Many of us developed our political views and religious affiliations from our parents. And many of us went on to become individual thinkers with well educated thoughts beyond what our parents ever considered. Which one are you?

Is your child in their right brain to be successful at school?
Experimentation has shown that the two different sides, or hemispheres, of the brain are responsible for different manners of thinking. The following table illustrates the differences between left-brain and right-brain thinking:
Right Brain
Random
Intuitive
Holistic
Subjective
Synthesizing
Looks at wholes
Left Brain
Logical
Sequential
Rational
Analytical
Objective
Looks at parts
Most individuals have a distinct preference for one of these styles of thinking. Some, however, are more whole-brained and equally adept at both modes. In general, schools tend to favor left-brain modes of thinking, while downplaying the right-brain ones. Left-brain scholastic subjects focus on logical thinking, analysis, and accuracy. Right-brained subjects, on the other hand, focus on aesthetics, feeling, and creativity.
So which are you?
Signed,
Right brained and creatively focused

You bet not be up at dat' school embarrassing me!
Just the other day, some teachers and I passed what use to be the old drive in theater. And although we ranged in ages 32-42 we all could recall how exciting and fun it was to load the family in the car for an evening of entertainment. The sadness of our memories is the mere fact that kids today will never know the excitement of loading the family vehicle for an evening of big screen, popcorn, mosquitos and the speaker dangling from the driver's window.
Wow, something so simple helped to define family entertainment.
Today, parents drop kids off at the movies and pick them up after the movie is over.
Where did we loose sight of what was really important?
In 2008, we have more ways to communicate but are clearly out of touch with today's generation. We are devoting time and energy to discuss if boys should wear their pants on their waist, below their waist or on their knees. When in reality we as parents need to take a stand while down on our bending knees. We have failed our children by creating individuals who are highly influenced by outside influences beyond our control instead of parental influences within their reach. Children are given choices when there should be none but are incapable of making decisions when faced with a choice.
Where did we go wrong?
Many parents(and you know who you are) have become masters of making excuses for children who should not be excused. When did we as parents become more concerned with what another child was doing and less concerned about what our child was doing? My moms' mantra was I don't care what so and so is doing, you bet not be up at that school embarrassing me! It is unfortunate that educators today spend more time proving that a child is out of order than maintaining order.
Mom...Dad...wake-up!
If a child disrespects you at home, don't act surprised when the teacher calls to say that your little angel has disrespected her at school. It may be cute now, but if you don't raise your kids, the County will. It is called 3 hots and a cot!
I see what happens in middle school and high school when we have failed to raise responsible children while in elementary school! It is called TAKS, NCLB, SPED, 504, LD, ADD, ADHD, Drop-out.....you get my point. Parents should parent. Teachers should teach. And in case of need, both should lend the other a hand when needed!
Signed,
Still scared to embarrass my mom!
