watching: NCAA men's soccer championship game - Akron vs. Virginia
Yesterday during the trip abroad to the Nation of Hiber we watched a few minutes of this show called Psychic Kids: Children of the Paranormal. It turns out that these parents are convinced their children are "psychic" because of such things as being afraid and not sleeping well at night. I swear that used to be called being afraid of the dark when I was a kid. Now it means you have supernatural gifts and need to go get televised pseudotherapy to help you deal with them. I assume this must be tangentially related to the whole "indigo children" nonsense, which is its own special little nightmare. In fact, I've decided that if I ever meet anyone who refers to one of their children as an "indigo child" I'm just going to punch them right in the eye and say "Well now maybe you'll have a nice little indigo bruise to match your special little demon's aura." And that will show them.

I am so sorry that you watched that particular show; it does not have a lot of integrity. The thing is that many children are/were afraid of the dark because they could see things. Some believe what they could see were from the spirit world, and others believe it was just their imagination, but I have known too many children and adults who can see real people who have passed on before the seers were even born. My own son gave me a message from my father when he was four, that was quite profound in that it was an apology for not saying good bye before he died, something I had never told anyone that bothered me. And since my father had been gone for 16 years, it certainly was not something my four year old would know about!
Now, what I would like to know is why this topic gets people so angry! Yes, there are what I call the "soccer moms" who want to feature their children and this is the latest thing along with pageants, sports, drama and the like. I guess they make all of us mad in a way. But the real meaning of this was lost almost as soon as it was named. In the beginning it was simply a person who has a deep connection to the spirit world. As you have certainly pointed out, that is not part of the package any longer!
Yawn. Let me know if your special little angel has a vision about the winning Mega Millions numbers.
(And wow, that "soccer moms" phrase you came up with is brilliant. Maybe that will catch on. 17 years ago.)
