My daughter is 15 months old and has been actly very strange at home, but really only at home. I use Seasalt everywhere in my house If a Spirit is in my house how did it get in and how do i get it out? My daughter has been actly aggressive and grizzly for about 3 months now i thought it might have just been teething pains but its ok when she is out of the house but as soon as she enters the front door she dosent want to be put or just screams or she will hit,punch or pinch me and she is very differcult to put to bed she sits up and cries half the night untill she is so tired that she just colapses into sleep Is this normal or is a spirit or spirits affecting her ?????
Please help as i think her health is being affected as she started have seizures last month
I am a mother myself and know many others, so I know it is pretty normal that your child experiments with different kinds of behaviour. It could also be that she is in a phase of change in her brain and consciousness (as it happens quite regularly in the first three years). It is not unusual that she seems strange to you, changes between aggressive outburtst and fear as well as unusual attachment.
How strong it shows depends on the temperament of your child and it is indeed a strange feeling to see your child act like a stranger. But to a certain extent it is a normal part of their development. Your child still needs to settle in this world and her development happens in phases and sudden changes. Imagine you wake up on a strange planet, colours, smells and things you have never experienced before. Your level of mobility changes.
Everytime a child learns something new its whole world changes. It discovers whole new dimensions of existance. This can be very stressful for such a small child.
So by all means, try to remain calm and supportive. She feels if you think something is "wrong with her" and if you are scared and in panic.
If you feel better, do a cleansing ceremony of your house with incense and water, you can use rattles and drums as well. Integrate your child in the ceremony by giving her a rattle of her own or let her chant/sing along. Sometimes little children can be perceptive of spirits and more vulnerable to their tricks, but they are being very strongly protected, too. So it is not very likely that your daughter is "posessed" in any kind.
If you have goddesses, ask Diana/Artemis for protection or the Juks-Akka (sami protector goddess of small children, very determined woman indeed and very protective). Diana is also a protector of young girls and maidens. She will help you.
There is another sure thing to scare any ugly spirit way and that is sincere, hearty and loud laughter!
Fill your house with love and laughter!
I wish you love and light and may you and your child be blessed!
Oh and if you haven't done so - take her to a doctor just in case. Co-sleeping and a lot of close body contact to you might also be of help. Bathe together, cuddle much, play, laugh, dance and sing.
Has she been to the doctors? I just want to make sure that she's been checked out. Are there certain positions you hold her in outside that are different than inside?
It's hard to say what is causing this, but try not to exhaust all measures as Jo suggested, medical and spiritual.
Have you cleansed your house with smudge? Might be a good idea while she's out of the house to do this if there's someone who can watch her while you do it.
she has been to the doctors but shes in perfect health Thank you i understand about her feeling different as she is still getting used to this world. I have smudged my house many times but i feel something in my house,somewhat strange feeling like im being watched i have tried co-sleeping she dosent sleep at all in my bed shes plays instead she wont let me or anyone hug her. i have always felt a pesence in my house but its always been friendly untill recently things go missing or are moved i feel like im paranoid but i cant shake this strange feeling.

Then see another doctor, get a second, or third opinion. this could just be her entering the terrible twos, but your Dr could be wrong or dismissing your worry.

I keep rocks around my living area as well as salt, a rosary a buddah staute and my tarot cards.. even fresh roses help too i think... herb bag too I sprinkle herbs on my atler.... I wish you dear my friend... Cam
I would definitely get a second opinion on your daughter's health. Your current doctor says she's in perfect health well in my opinion something is wrong for her to be in "perfect" health and having seizures.
Most children are sensitive to ghosts, spirits, etc at this young age. My 10 month old will often sit and stare at something around her that we cannot see. She will often babble at it or laugh and smile at it. We think it's the spirit of my husband's father who passed several years before I met my husband. She has done that since she was able to really focus on people.
Smudges and some cleansings don't always get rid of a spirit they usually remove the negative energies. I would also appeal to the deities for protection, both for your daughter and you, against any spirits that may be in your house. It sounds like (after reading your initial statement, and your response to another post) that they are bothering your daughter and really only watching you. I think you said that you've felt them for a long time in your home. Sometimes a new child can affect how a spirit will act. Did it all start 3 months ago or did it get worse and you noticed it then?
My 11 year old son just told me to tell you to check in things like poltergeist that many children can manifest. He also told me that if you can't banish the unwanted to always check for paranormal specialist to come check. (He watches many shows like Ghost Hunters, and just him popping out these suggestions were a surprise to me.)
And some of her fussiness (especially at night) can still be racked up to teeth. (I can't remember when they start cutting their first molars) My daughter is currently cutting 4 top teeth at once and it's far worse at night getting her to sleep.
I'm going to end with a repeat of please have a second opinion on your daughters health if she is having seizures. (My old doctor actually told me not to worry about chest pains I had frequently saying that women had more chest pains then men. When my hubby took me to the emergency room one night in Jan we found out I had GERD. Naturally I've changed doctors.)
All the blessings I can send you and please keep us posted.
hi, i have two kids both with adhd and i can tell you that when they were little and still are, they were a handful.. laura was your daughters age and she used to throw the most horrid tempertantrums. be patient.
i dont know about ghosts or spirits , but have the dr do a careful assessment, and if worse comes to worse.. if she is having seizures and they are not febrile in nature seek out a good neurologist.
it think that this has been going on for awhile but i has recently started to get worse. right now as i writing this i feel a very strong presence near me. my daughters father left us 8 months ago i think thats when started but im not sure as i was clouded when her father was around. her seizures arnt febrile but we have to go and have a eeg test but thats not for another month.
well doctors said that she's in excellent health apart from the seizures (sorry)
Thank you Cam for the advice i will do that asap
Squishedfairy what do mean check in things that polterguists that manifests children (maybe i misread the words)
The Reason i have found all this very strange is that she is normally very happy, plays,giggles and a very happy lovable child i might just be freaking out a little but its that strange feeling that im getting (its very strong its giving me goosebumps)
That was something my son was saying this morning.
Personally my experiences with spirits have been few and far between so that may be incorrect information. I'm sure, though, that there are some on here that may have more experience.
if the father left anf that was when it started it may be the stress of it for her. and for the being different outside than in the house would be as simple as the house reminds her of him. kids when they get used to certain things can be very slow to accept change especially when it is stress inducing. Stress by itself can also create or magnify a multitude of health problems. I would discuss that with the pediatrician and see what they think. I agree with whoever said earlier that a change in living environment may be helpful.
