My daughter has always seemed extremely smart for her age, and is most definitely advanced. She began saying words at 4 months, starting with the simple word, mama, of course. Soon after that, "Hi!" or "Hey!" is her new favorite thing to say.
My daughter is a very grouchy morning person, the type that has to be coddled as soon as she wakes up. However, a few months ago while at a friend's house, she woke up and said "Hey!" and happily played in her bed. A while later I went to grab her, but snuck up on her to see what she was doing to keep herself so content and occupied...
She loves to hand us things when she wakes up, blankets, her dolly, anything really. Well when I snuck up on her, she was saying "hi!" and offering a toy to NO ONE. No one that I could see for that matter. I went back and told my friend of this, and he told me he sees people all the time. It kind of surprised me because I never felt anything in that house... But a little later that day, I looked out his window, and see a graveyard. It makes a lot more since now!
The other day I was walking past the door of a room and in the corner RIGHT next to me was a man standing. I didn't get a good look at him, but he wasn't standing and he was dark and I think he was wearing a hat. I didn't want to give him a second look; I'm not comfortable with ghosts anymore for some reason.
For me, this concreted my feelings that she sees and talks to ghosts. As well as this experience, she has looked at my late grandfather's picture, pointed and gabbed away. She has also pointed and gabbed, looked at me smiling in a way as if she is saying "see mommy!" and I just got the feeling that some family member that had passed was meeting her for the first time!
I am very interested to see where my daughter goes with this. My mom is very concerned with my daughter, however. She feels as though a ghost may harm her because they want her to stay with them forever. She has put a bit of fear in me now!
Should I be scared for her?
Anyways, like I was saying, you don't need to worry if your daughter has a good time with this "imaginary friend" or whatever it may be. But when shes older, don't be saying that he/she is not real, or saying that its not possible she sees things you dont. It made ME very mad 😕 and most important of all, treat her like a NORMAL child. Don't make everything she senses that you don't a big deal, because it will annoy her to no end. Just be like, "you smell something funny? What is it? Has it been a while since you started to smell it?" NOT, " OK honey, now I want you to tell me what it is. Tell me and I will give you a lollipop. OK, when did you first smell it? Are you sure?" you see the difference? This will make her feel like YOU depend on HER when its supposed to be the other way around. If not, it will make her feel like shes in control, and she will become a controlling baby. Not good haha. Hope this helps:) 😉
