Telepathy?

Not sure if this goes here or not, but here goes...

I am pretty skeptical about many things, but twice now my son has "known" when I am coming home after leaving him with a sitter. I very rarely leave him, and both times there was absolutely no way he could have known I was home.

Once he was on the second floor of an apartment building where I had to be "buzzed" in. He walked over to the door and pulled his sitter with him saying "Mommy home!!" She buzzed the door open, figuring I had rung the bell and she just didn't notice it. I hadn't rung the bell at all, and it unlocked the exact moment I walked up to it.

The second time was tonight. I left him with a sitter that he has never been with before here in my home, and as soon as I pulled into my parking space (which is quite a ways from my door) he again said, "Mommy home!" She said to him, "No, Mommy isn't home, let's go wait at the door and watch the snow!" They had just gotten to the window when I opened the gate to my yard and could see them. It literally took them the same amount of time to get to the window as it took me to get to the yard.

I have heard of parents having a "sixth" sense about their children, but this feels almost spooky to me.

Anyone else out there experience things like this?

Oiy, I may be seen as crazy after this post...

I firmly believe that we all have potential for extra sensory perception (a general, catch all phrase for psychic abilities).

I believe the actual term you may looking for is empathic abilities not telepathy. By definition telepathy is the ability to send or receive (or both) thoughts, pictured thoughts and full ability to speak without the use of speech among a sender and a receiver.

Empathic abilities are the ability to sense the presence, personalities and feelings or emotions of the people around you, including their energies.

It's a common belief that children are more open psychically than adults are because society deems it that those whole believe in the psychic abilities are slightly or fully nutty or crazy. Society corrupts this ability and closes it by saying it does not exist (it's like being told in an abusive relationship that you are stupid over and over and then believing it in the end despite not being such). Children pay no attention to "society's norms" and go about their own environment unaffected at young ages by these "standard norms" of societal views.

If it were me in your shoes I would not stifle him when it comes to those situations, I would let him continue to express it and make no big deal about it.

My daughters indeed have had such experiences, as I have as well. I've been known to say that phone call is for such and such from this person (naming the caller and the person they are calling for). I've been known to even finish peoples sentences before they have time to finish them. I can tell who is at more door and when. I've started the postman a few times opening the door before he knocks (poor old fellow goes white as a sheet). I just did it to a canpar delivery guy today! lol

As long as I can remember, even as a little girl, I've done these things. It's...overwhelming at times when it happens and can be confusing and emotionally charged but I see nothing wrong in any way, shape or form in this type of situation at all. Why wouldn't it be plausible for a natural instinct that mothers have for their children be a two way street with the child having a natural instinct for their mother? Especially with such a strong attachment and bond between a mother and child?

I've noticed that this type of scenario usually occurs between a well bonded mother and child in most cases and does happen on a lesser rate of occurance with father\child bonds. It seems to occur with father\child bonds when the child is older (say around ages 6 and up) when the child is male more than female. These occurrences, mind you, are based on my 5 children and between myself and my husband - 3 boys and 2 girls btw. My oldest (8 yrs of age) seems to almost "communicate" without having to with his father and they are extremely bonded while my 6 year old daughter and I share this same occurance.

My little girl used to seem to be able to read my mind.

I was thinking one day,"maybe I should take Kaia for icecream?"

She then says to me. "Yes I want to go get icecream!"

Crazy but perfectly normal and expected between people who have a connection.

Sounds like your child has great intuition.
