How to Parent a Crystal Child

What is a Crystal Child? I’ve “felt” my daughter was a crystal child since the time she was 5 or 6 but here is some information to help you figure out if you have one too!

1. They are beings of pure love and a lot of people are drawn to them.
2. They are healers and/or psychic/mediums.
3. They may have a gift for music and singing.
4. Telepathic communicators with a lot of information coming through.
5. Peaceful, can often times be a people pleaser.
6. Compassionate and forgiving of most people in most circumstances.
7. They can be great teachers of life lessons.
8. They are highly sensitive both emotionally and environmentally.
9. They may be affected by loud sounds, chaotic surroundings, smells & textures.
10. They may have allergies and food intolerances and very sensitive to chemicals or GMOs.
11. They can be very strong animal lovers.
12. They tend to be vegetarians at an early age or at least eat very little meat.
13. They are empathic – feeling everything around them from multiple people and sometimes they cannot distinguish if it their own feeling, or someone else’s.
14. They love crystals and gems – drawn to all things from the planet.
15. Direct connection to Spirit – feel close to angels, ancestors and can have past life memories that they still remember.
16. They can be very artistic and creative in a variety of ways.
17. They can be fearless – due to their intuitive connection to the planet, they tend to know their boundaries better than we may be comfortable. They are avid climbers and explorers yet not always mindful of the limitations of their physical bodies.
18. Parents often are Indigos – this is the case for me.
19. They often have some type of internal governing force that we can’t understand – She is ultimately here to teach me and learn from me, and it certainly can be painful and immense learning lessons for me!
20. They often have a deep inner strength that can be hard to see, but know it is there and they can rebound from things that will surprise us.

In learning about my daughter, I’ve certainly had to adjust my parenting style to help her and to help our relationship. It’s been an intense learning experience for me so it’s all a part of the process here in this body.

Listen, Trust, and be a Support System to your Crystal Child :: My daughter has always been an empathic intuitive, an animal intuitive, a healer, and as I’ve learned over the last year, she has some strong mediumship abilities as well. She often feels, knows, and senses things that don’t always make sense to me. I am guided to accept anything she says (knowing that the insights are coming from her specific skill set), listen to her, be a support system to her, and ask questions when needed to help her understand the information in a different way. Do your best not to judge, but accept the information that comes through from your Crystal Child.

Accept his or her love of Crystals/Gems/Nature :: I support my daughter’s love of crystals and I actually enjoy it. If I were to walk in her room right now I already know that she has an agate wind chime that hangs from the ceiling close to her bed, a huge amethyst, a large quartz, an angelite (which is her favorite), a rose quartz or two, selenite, and a lapis lazuli (which was her favorite for several years). My husband thinks crystals are silly, but my daughter and I know that they hold an immense amount of energy and can contribute to helping our emotions and healing on a physical level. Crystals are quite inexpensive, so for me to spend $5.00 - $15.00 on something that she loves is not a big deal!

Manage his or her lack of Fear :: My daughter has zero fear of most things. She can and will climb to the top of a tree and not think twice. She can go all the way up a climbing wall then gracefully slide back down. She is not afraid of people and would never think that anyone could or would hurt her. This lack of fear can be absolutely terrifying for both me and her father! While I don’t want her to be afraid to leave the house or afraid of people in general, we have had to engage in multiple conversations about what could happen to her if she did __________. At times, when she still does not seem to grasp the concept, we have to talk about it over and over again, using different examples, until something just hits home with her. For a young girl, in the world we live in, safety is always a concern, and we discuss it over and over again until I think she understands.

Pay attention to potential Food Allergies and Sensitivities :: My daughter was 3 when I started noticing her sensitivity to milk. So we tracked her food/drink and how her body reacted to it. We then removed it from her diet, and tracked that as well.  She and I both know that she simply cannot eat large amounts of sugar like a lot of her friends, it totally throws her out of balance and it hurts her. Crystal Children can be sensitive to numerous things, so it’s up to you as a parent to be mindful and pay attention to anything that might seem off. She also does not tend to eat a lot of meat, nor has she ever, so I wouldn’t recommend pushing it on them if they do not want it. A lot of times they can absorb the feelings of the animal, and will tend to avoid it because they don’t want to feel that pain.

Give your Crystal Child plenty of down time ::  If you believe your child has psychic/intuitive/empathic abilities, I recommend giving him or her plenty of space to process their day. My daughter spends a decent amount of time reading, drawing, coloring, and writing stories. This helps her detach from the events of the day or any messages she has been receiving that she needs to release (because she doesn’t know how to maintain psychic protection yet). When you have a lot of intuitive information coming at you, it can absolutely be too much to take in. Some quiet time, away from electronics and the television is always helpful. Processing can occur in whatever way works for your child, and he or she tend to find that on their own. Normally, very little guidance is needed when you are mindful of it.
