Introduction: The Hidden Gift 97% of Parents Miss

Did you know that 1 in 20 children exhibits signs of deep spiritual awareness—but most parents mistake it for imagination?

In this 2025 guide, you’ll discover:

• 7 undeniable signs your child is spiritually gifted (most miss #5)
• The #1 mistake parents make that suppresses their child’s gifts

What Is a Spiritual Child? (Expert Definition)

A spiritual child is a young individual with heightened intuitive, empathic, or metaphysical abilities beyond their years. These children often:

• Experience visions, premonitions, or angelic encounters
• Exhibit deep empathy (feeling others’ emotions as their own)
• Recall past-life memories with shocking accuracy
• Communicate with unseen beings (spirit guides, deceased relatives)
• Possess unnatural wisdom about life, death, and the universe

Research from the University of Virginia (2024) confirms that past-life memories in children are scientifically documented—not just imagination.
