    Default Babies communicating with the dead?

    Weird thing....all weekend my 2 yr old daughter Savannah (savvy) has wanted to "call grandpa" at odd hours.

    Saturday AM We did call my dad (I'm her father, he is her only living grandpa and the only one she ever met) and she said nothing.

    Then tonight at dinner she grabbed a toy phone and said "call grandpa"...picked up the phone and had a conversation. Ended w "luv u. Bye".

    When she hung up we said dads dad (living, met him) or mommys daddy (dead, never met him). She said "mommys daddy" and what sounded like "miss him"

    He has been dead since maybe a year before she was born...

    children have active imaginations. maybe she just wishes she could meet him. i think this is a much more likely and logical explanation than your child being a medium to the deceased.
    The best thing i have heard in a strip club to date:
    customer: we should get married right now! we should get a shotgun marriage!
    me: uhh... i think you are misunderstanding what a shotgun marriage means. A shotgun marriage means you knock me up and my daddy shows up at your door with a gun and forces you to marry me and raise the baby. You mean elope.
    customer: hmm... nah actually i will take the shotgun marriage. At least then we would be having sex.

    i guess my theory is she knew him before she came down. All i know is she was pre-programmed w more stuff than many kids. Never did the eating coins thing, very good, advanced baby and such. Good thing, cause I was not baby proof!

    so? she might have figured out that most children have two grandparents. this doesnt require meeting him. She could easily have wondered why she hadnt met one and decided to play by imagining and then acting out a phone conversation.

    ive seen kids talk to imaginary friends a lot. doesnt mean that there is a ghost sitting in the empty chair next to them.

    Is it possible she was communicating with him? Who knows? A lot of things can't be explained. If the thought that she might be comforts you and your family, I don't see any real harm with entertaining the possibility.

    I wouldn't blow it off... Some things can't be explained away. My father was killed in an accident when I was two, and my sister said a few weeks later she would hear me in my room giggling and talking to my dad.. and she said I neverj just sat and talked to myself like that before. She said if she or my mom walked into my room I'd start looking around all sad and say he went bye bye again... it got to the point of creeping her and my mom out. One day my mom had enough burst in and screamed at him to leave the living alone... My sis said she looked like all sorts of crazy but they both were so weirded out... Then a few days later, I started screaming and crying in my room and when they came in I was mad at my mom and said he told me he can't come back because my mom told him to leave us. But after that I didn't giggle or talk to anyone again from my room.

    Apparently I also started saying Spanish words and they figured I got it off sesame street (back in the dark ages when they taught Spanish lol) then one day I mentioned grandpa taught me a new word and they were like what? And I said he's been teaching me words. No one in my fam speaks Spanish, but my great grandfather was Cuban... Not that that I knew that at the time.

    I don't know how I feel about it, but my poor sister still gets the creeps thinking about stuff and said that I did and said a lot of strange things. My mom ended up convinced I was a gateway to the other side but that's for a whole other post I'm not going to write lol

    I have no advice... Could be something could be nothing but I'd suggest for your kids sake to not make a big deal out of it either way.

    There is this common belief amongst alot of Native cultures that infants can comminicate with the dead/spirits. Chamorros, for example, even consider pregnant women to be in a state of susceptibility because the fetus has the ability to comminicate with taotaomonas (spirits of deceased ancestors). The particular band of my mother's eh, primary tribe (the one she identifies the most with, as she is three) believed that infants were still a part of the spirit world until they were one, and would consequently delay naming ceremonies until they reached that age.

    Just wanted to let the OP know that he's not alone=D

    I love it! I believe we can communicate w dead/gods/whatever better as kids and in dream/altered state because the filters of "reality" are removed. Hope she never loses it...even if its just imagination.

    She took it so seriously too. All quiet and respectful, pausing so he could talk, etc

    I've had WAAAAAYY too much experience in this department to write it off as "active imagination" and the like. Many people in my family have had experiences, some of them ongoing. I for one absolutely believe that especially young children can interact with "the other side" much more easily than we do. And again - even as an adult, I've had way to many experiences to write that shit off. Lived in a couple of haunted houses (not always a bad experience, usually they're just of there), had lots of other experiences. When MM and I were house shopping a couple of year ago we had the spirit haunting one house we visited invite us to move in, she liked us. We explained to our agent what was going on, it freaked him RIGHT out, lol!! He didn't believe in that stuff but couldn't deny what he was seeing right in front of him, it was hilarious. Too bad we got out-bid on that house, she was a sweet ghost, lol.

    Cool

    skeptics will be skeptics...pinups I think it's awesome that you're so open minded about your daughter's abilities. With your support she'll remain sensitive and with time can hone her gift in communicating with to the other side. She can probably help a lot of people some day (:

    I genuinely stand by it not to make a huge deal of it to her. If she continues to develop it on her own cool... But you can't really help someone see/talk to the other side. Also if she knows you feel it's her talent and how thrilled you are and she loses it, then it will be like she let you down.

    Besides... until she gets older and able to communicate with you better, there's no way to really know what's play and what's actually happening unless she's actually relaying info or telling you things only the grandfather would know etc. So don't get ahead of yourself and assume she definitely has a gift cause she talks on her phone.

    I had experiences right up till I was in my teens. Goodness knows I definitely did not want since I was freaking my family out and still it went on for a very long time. So if she has any capabilities it's not like you have to do or encourage anything. Its not a talent like playing the piano or something you can get her to keep doing... either there or its not and its going to happen with or without you.

    I just don't want your excitement over hoping this is a talent end up putting pressure on her to "perform" to keep making you proud or feel like she's going to disappoint you over something she can't even help or something like that.
    Don't blink. Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back. Don't look away. And don't blink!
