KIDS ARE VERY PERCEPTIVE

You have no idea how much kids know! Even if they are small, kids have feelings and are able to perceive things that you thought were way beyond their years and mental acuity.

BrothersI believe the factor that gives them this ability is the inborn instinct of survival and self-preservation. So, if husband and wife are constantly at each others throats, they know. If you have several children, and one is your favorite, they all know. If you have money problems, they know. If you love them or hate them, they know. If they or someone else in the family has a serious health problems, they know. If you hate your in-laws, they know, and If you lock the bedroom door to make love. yes, they know.

I think by now you get the idea, so you have to be very circumspect about your composure when your children are near and even then they can sometimes sense the tension.

Real and or imagined threats cause children to have anxieties and fears. Later in their lives they may have personality “hang-ups,” but to be honest, I think the closeness of living under one roof makes the consequences inescapable and that’s why we are the way we are.

Even though some of their childhood experiences are processed and then stored in the minds of the children, some are later able to blot them out and Delete it all to the Recycle Bin, and others may carry it (as baggage) for the rest of their lives.

Which one are you?
