Kathy DiMeglio had a magical experience with Mother Mary that seemed to influence her daughter Jasmyns birth date. Kathy said that during her pregnancy, she to Mary, felt very connected and learned that her birthday was September 8. Since this was eight days before Kathy s expected due date, she prayed to Mother Mary to help her give birth tember 8 instead. 19 on Sep-

obvious that Hannah can see right through people and read them/' These observations about the Crystal Childrens eyes aren t just rooted in parental pride, Kelly Colby-Nunez has five children, and she notices a definite difference in the eyes of her three younger children (ages 6, 4, and 15 months). Kelly says about her younger children, "One look into their eyes and you know they re highly intelligent and have more wisdom than the older children and us adults. Their eyes just sparkle like light reflecting off crystal. People comment on this all the time/' Crystals' eyes reflect their deep spiritual understanding. They're loving, patient, and kind eyes — like mother of recalls, those of angels. Nadia Leu Celeste, age 'Trom the first is the 18 months. Nadia look she gave us. Celeste seemed to be so wise and compassionate, so understanding, and at the same time so above all human suffering.

Why not call these sensitive children 'late-talkers'' instead of pathologizing them with psychiatric diagnoses and making them feel ashamed of themselves?

Those who have had near-death experi- ences report an increase in psychic abilities afiierward. Many also say that being in the pres- ence of great love, such as that which exists in the afterlife plane, opens us it's up psychically. So not surprising that parenting a super-loving Crystal Child would have Crystals choose also 35 this same psychically effect. sensitive
parents and grandparents as part of their ''survival on Earth'' techniques. After aren t going to communicate to choose telepathic moms all, verbally, if kids they need and dads to ensure that their meeds are met. As IVe mentioned, common very its for Crystal Children to begin speaking at age three or later. This was the case for Teresa Zepeda, whose six-year-old daughter ''Crystal.'' fittingly is named Teresa says: "Crystal only spoke three words (Mama^ Dada^ when no) up until age three, she suddenly started using com- plete sentences. Prior to that age, she used grunts and charades. We called her 'cave baby.' But she also had a way of letting us know what without saying anything. she wanted I guess she was communicating with telepathy. had to be. How else would I It know what she was thinking?" Teresa s daughter exemplifies a pattern that many go parents describe, whereby the children from minimal verbalization to more 36
comprehensive speaking virtually skills overnight. Catherine Poulton says that her son Kylan, age he could was about three years old before five, talk. ''Kylan didnt speak, didn't even form nouns, and then suddenly one day he started talking in complete sentences/' The a of late-talking only seems to be issue problem for those who worry. For more relaxed parents, its a non-issue. for Beverly Such is the case Moore, mother of Ethan, age five. Beverly says that ''Ethan didn't talk until he was about age sound three. He either. I wasn't he'd speak never had the 'baby talk' too concerned, when he had something as I figured to say. I never had a problem knowing what Ethan wanted." However, it's not always easy for parents to nonchalantly accept that their children are "different." One woman told me that she feels embarrassed around other mothers because she suspects that they judge her for having a "mute" son. So some parents take the matter into their all own hands, doing research, reading the books about late talking, and institut- ing behavioral and dietary modifications to spur their children's language development. Evie says that her two-year-old daughter, Mei, 37
responded positively to homeschoolmg. She says: "Mei was who walked a happy and at ten baby months, yet she decided not to speak until we had alert later, and to evaluate her for speech impairments^ She tested very highly in the social and cognitive areas, but she wouldn't speak.

Like Natarsha, Carolyn asked her Haley about her six-year-old daughter, telepathic abilities. Haley replied that she could see into her mother's brain and also see her thoughts. 44
IVe taught psychic-development classes worldwide since 1996, and IVe found that one of the most important things to do when trying to develop psychically and to notice is and visions trust the thoughts, feelings, words, that enter your mind. The Crystal Children are brilliant role models for doing so. I8-month-old daughter, that her Jaimie says Isabella, con- fidently announces, ''Daddy, Daddy'' moments before her father arrives home. Often when telephone rings, she and sure says, ''Nanny,'' enough, her grandmother One why reason is the on the phone. children are so psychic is whether they're merely their indifference to imagining these intuitive messages.

It's even though one more it indi- cator of where we're headed. Imagine a world where everyone turns to prayer — or worry — instead of fear in response to crises. Crystal Children are highly philosophical, often talking about spiritual topics that seem more the domam of elders.

Empathy for Nature In addition to befriending animals, a key characteristic of Crystal Children foundly deep empathy, which is is their pro- particularly directed toward nature. Crystal Children feel the emotions and sensations of animals, bugs, and plants. They give voice to nature, that everyone • Andrea and everything has — made feelings. says that her three-year-old daughter, Abbie, bugs and remind us not even them,'' wont let anyone kill "God who are big, scary spiders.

Some Crystal Guidelines Since Crystal Children have a symbiotic relationship with crystals, you may want to introduce your kids to these amazing stones.

Carolyn took my book Healing mth the Angels with her during an emergency trip to the hospital when her five-year-old daughter, Haley, broke her arm.

One reason why parents needn't worry to have about their children's psychic abilities is that these gifts can help kids heal from emotional and physical pain. They're God's self-healing abilities established in each of us. For instance, five-year-old Sabrina was grief-stricken received when a friend of hers some comfort from died. She the angels with whom Sabrina has had a lifelong relationship. Yet, she was immediately relieved of emotional 115

The new and exciting development is that now give more permission and validity as kids often talk adults to their children's discussion of prior lifetimes. This allows the kids to keep these memories alive without wallowing in them. When we realize that life is eternal, we lose our preoccupation with death. We also release the anxiety perpetuated by hell and damnation. fears, we re Here some religions about And when we release those truly free to live fully. are some examples of remember other lifetimes: ii6 children who

On almost a daily basis, Carter says, "Oh, Mom, it s a beautiful day!" and he'll cheer her up when she's down. 128
Everyone comments on Carters cheerful attitude, which is common in Crystal Children. For instance, Beth and Michaels son, Taylor, has had three different baby-sitters.

They will be. 162

Here s a wonderful one that Rosie Ismail, a primary school teacher in England, uses in her classroom.
