I spend most of my time with my daughter every day, and she often seems to catch my thoughts - even the weirdest ones.
I.e. today we were reading a book together and in the meanwhile I was thinking about my grocery list, mentally stating that I wanted to buy some carob powder...I left the room for 1 minute to go in the bathroom and while I was there I heard her talking to herself and guess what she was saying? " carob". Well please notice it it's been 2 months since we bought and used carob powder, and I did not mention it to her.
three days ago we both were on the floor drawing with crayons and I suddenly looked at her head and thought about the fact she does not like to have her hair washed... She went on drawing and then calmly asked, "do I need to wash my hair today?" well again, shampoo is only once a week for her.
There are lots of examples like that. It always happens when we are doing something together, and then my attention is suddenly withdrawn by another thought. she seems to "CATCH" the thought!
I remember once a few months ago we were drinking hot chocolate and I figured out in my mind what should it be like to bathe into hot chocolate...well she asked me exactly the same thing " Mommy, can we take a bath with hot chocolate?"
are there other moms who notice something like that? It is quite interesting. I am sure she is able to do that, but not always and not intentionally and she is not aware of it.
I'm so glad you posted this, No_Biz -- I have had similar experiences that cannot be classed as "coincidences" with my daughters (they are 2 1/2). The same sort of thing...I'll think that I need to let the dogs in, and then one or the other will say, "Where's Charlotte?" or I'll think, "we'll have green beans for lunch" and one will say, "Green beans!"
I sort of feel the same way with my dogs in the sense that I can be walking about the house and *intending* to take them out in a couple of minutes, and they'll go sit by the door or start jumping around (we don't have a set schedule for walks so it's entirely unpredictable). But the similar thought I have had is that you spend so much time with either children or dogs (who can't talk at all ever) that there must be another way for them to intuit or sense what we think. The evidence to me has been overwhelming and a good indicator that we have spent "enough" time to know each other non-verbally, if that makes sense.
And I do think that children have abilities and intelligences, and a fundamental connection to the world around them, that are moved out over time with more worldly concerns and clamor. My goal is to keep them in that sort of "magic bubble" for as long as I can -- not in an overprotective sense, but just to encourage them and support them in being the empathic and consciousness-aware creatures that they are right now.
I hope that doesn't sound too treacly. But again, was glad to see your post! I should ask some of my close friends and report back.
Oh, most definitely we do have telepathic experiences with those we're close to. My husband, who doesn't believe in such things, will often say what's on my mind. In one weird experience, we were in bed and I was dreaming that we were looking at a condo that was dark and small. At the same time my husband said out loud, in his sleep "It needs about 800 more square feet." He didn't remember any of this when he woke up.
One time when my daughter was 4, she was following me around the house mostly rambling on when she suddenly said that my parent's next door neighbor cut her foot. The next time I talked to my mother I told her what my daughter said. My mother talked to her neighbor who was stunned and asked if my daughter was psychic. It turned out that the neighbor didn't cut her foot but did hurt it!
My daughter is a mother now and I feel a very strong connection with my grandchild even though I don't get to see them much. I can't explain it but I do sense it!
I often think children do have some telepathic abilities and depending on how their parents react to them, they can either further develop it or they gradually lose it. Personally, I think it's wonderful that you have this connection with your daughter!
