Intuition: The key to your child’s safety By Samantha Wilson

Inside all of us, from the day we are born, lies the key to personal safety – Intuition.

That physical reaction that makes your stomach queasy, hands shake and heart race. It is nature’s
way of warning you of immediate potential danger and it is always right.

Most kids are better at recognizing these feelings than their parents. This is because kids haven’t learned to ignore their intuition to avoid conflict or embarrassing situations. They just react. It is up to you, the parent, to resist the temptation to dismiss your child’s intuition as simply misbehaving.

It is essential that your kids can recognize and trust these feelings. As their parent, be sure to praise them when they have the courage to admit that they are not comfortable. If they can only cry to alert you, listen to them. Don’t force uncomfortable situations, you will only confuse them.

Over time, they will learn to trust their intuition and most important, that you will support their feelings. This will ensure open communication between you and your child and ultimately help keep them safe. It doesn’t matter how old they are, start teaching your kids about their intuition today.
