Children between the ages of two and five often tell amazing stories that they cannot explain to themselves, but confidently prove to their parents that this happened to them in reality.
Why little children talk about their past lives
The ability of the child's brain to simulate events that occurred in a past life in consciousness is being studied by specialists in various fields of medicine. However, there is still no consensus on the mechanism of the reproduction of this kind of memories. We only managed to highlight common features.
Features of childhood memories
Many children talk about how they lived in distant countries and had families, and they describe everything in small details. Others say that they remember the day of their death and even the reason. On the one hand, you can perceive it as a fantasy, on the other hand, the detail of the description of events and people is striking. Children's brains are unable to reproduce such images on their own.
Renowned psychotherapist Jim Tucker, who studies childhood memories, points out that these phenomena are on the rise. Therefore, it is necessary to accept them as a natural phenomenon, called reincarnation in esoteric teachings and requiring deep analysis.
From the point of view of researchers studying the phenomenon of transmigration of souls in space, the reasons for the appearance of such memories in children aged 2 to 7 years are different. Firstly, this can happen, since the child's consciousness is as open as possible and is not clogged with the realities of the external world. Therefore, the child is able to preserve and reproduce information from a past life absolutely accurate. Secondly, there is a theory according to which only a child's brain has the unique ability to reproduce events that are in the sphere of the unknown.
Children who talk about their past lives, as a rule, have an IQ above average, but this does not mean that they are geniuses, they just do not have signs of mental disorders. It is also noted that such children have birthmarks that look like a scar or congenital health problems. The children themselves explain this by the fact that in a past life they were injured or had serious health problems.
Correct parental response
In most cases, parents do not take their children's stories seriously, explaining this by the child's impressionability or the mobility of the child's psyche. However, if your child periodically tells you about such events, it is better to listen. As a result, it turns out a very folding life story of another person.
There are situations when parents begin to believe in the child's story and check the information on the Internet. To their great surprise, they discover real historical figures who lived exactly at the time that the child describes. In this case, you should not put pressure on the baby or lead him to a psychologist, since such actions can only negatively affect his psyche. Perceive your child as he is, do not impose other people's models of behavior on him. There is nothing wrong with remembering his past life. This period will take place by 6-7 years, since it is at this time that a new phase in the formation of brain activity begins.
