Young Empath
Most adults are usually reasonably in touch with their own emotions, but children most often aren’t. They’re experiencing many things for the first time, which brings with it emotions that they don’t yet fully understand. These emotions are often magnified many fold for young empaths. It can be incredibly difficult for empathic children to understand and accept that the emotions they’re feeling aren’t always their own.
Adult empaths understand this, but those who aren’t empathic might not recognize this trait in their children. Furthermore those adults will most often not know how to help their children assimilate and come to terms with this information.
The Young Empath Development Circle at Kallima aims to help the young empath to understand what is happening and gives them the tools to deal with the psychic changes in their lives.
Most children show some spiritual-psychic attunement with their peers, but some are more empathic than others.
In our circle we will look at some of the things to look out for to give you an idea where your kids’ abilities lie. and to help them understand them.
Highly Sensitive
They may appear to be highly sensitive. This might be noticed by yourself, family members, teachers or even medical professionals.
Empathic children are usually extremely sensitive to the energies that go around them.
It’s not uncommon for them to have a range of allergies including food and ‘contact allergies’ i.e. detergents, soaps etc.
Rather than ignoring their sensitivities please talk to them about them and maybe pop in to Kallima and we can talk to you and them about what they are feeling.
Senses being Overwhelmed
Imagine how it would feel ...
You are a young person, just getting your head around
different situations. And you can’t seem to turn off the constant sense of ‘not being alone or in control!’ I am not talking about the usual teenage stuff, it’s deeper than that.
Just think, you are in a room full of people (many are other teenagers who are emotionally up and down). You sense every word, smell every perfume, feel every emotion that is happening in the room. It’s like you are being shouted at by loads of different people.
How do you feel?
Empathic children in particular can get overwhelmed easily, especially in crowded, public spaces or when too much is going on around them at once. This causes an overload of their senses and can make them more moody than their peers.
Our young empath circle can help them with this. We will help them understand what is happening and how to deal with it.
Young Empaths Emotions
Young empaths are often more emotional than other people their age. This might have shown itself from infancy.
Does your child cry or get emotional when they see other people or even animals hurt or upset. Do they feel the need to comfort the upset person/animal.
Most babies instinctively try to comfort others who are upset or hurt. This trait often lessens as they grow. However with empaths it can increase.
Generally with children they shrug off a scolding in no time, but an empathic child usually remain very upset for much longer. This is for two reasons (1) they take the telling off more personal than most youngsters and (2) they also feel terrible about having disappointed the person that is telling them off! These kids have to deal with their emotional multi-layer problems on a constant basis.
Young Empaths and Animals
Young empaths often connect better with animals than humans. They understand the animals behaviours more as the animal shows pure emotion in their body language unlike humans which can be complex. Also animals accept their humans unconditionally and not judgementally or crulely as humans can be. Especially if the human person sees the young empath as being ‘different’.
Empathic Thinkers
Empathic kids are often known to spend a lot of time thinking. They are often accused of being daydreamers or told to lighten up or be less serious.
What these young people are doing is analyzing every thing that is happening around them. They are trying to make sense of it all which for any teenager is not easy.
They try to understand to understand the often duplicity, sarcastic and other contradictory behaviour that
surrounds them. To the empath they can’t 13 understand this!
