Children: Stronger psion or not.........

I sometimes ask myself, what would I do if I have a child. Would I try to teach them psionics or not? And what kind of effect will it have on the development of the child?
what do you think?

Hmm...it'd be interesting to try, at any rate.
I mean, we have to overcome the ingrained belief that "we can't do it," but if they never have that belief...

Even though I'm way younger than what I would like to be to have a child I've thought about it. If I were a father I think I would, but I'm not sure when I would teach my child, because It would probably be kind of hard to tell when they would be ready to learn. Also if the child is taught at a young age and they tell someone else at school, they would probably be made fun of, and might cause them to not want to learn anymore. The idea is interesting though, and if the child applies himself, they could become great. It would be like a pro football player teaching his son how to play football, giving the kid a huge head start compared to others who discover psionics later in their lives.

I think children may have a hard time understanding the concepts when you try to teach them an ability. I think you'll have to find the correct age limit where a child begins to comprehend the techniques and learn to focus.
Focus may be the hardest thing. Children are all over the place trying to get them to focus on one thing especially to focus on focusing it can be quite near impossible unless the child understands why they are focusing.

I think if I were ever to have a child (I'm not), I would continue to use my psionic abilities around them and see what happens, really. If the child knows this stuff is possible, then they might even pick it up by themselves. I know I would have done, I was trying to do TK by the age of 6. It didn't work then. I don't think. It'd definitely be a nice head start for the child in the psionic area, it's the same reason I'd get any kids to have a go at musical instruments.
Also, childish enthusiasm could probably help with the keeping them interested. =P

(Short reply, because I'm in a hurry:)
Quit the contrary to some of the replies..
Children aren't born with the concept "Nothing is possible and you're locked into a limited mechanical world. too bad for you." That's drilled into us all from age one.
I've talked to a few children about it myself, including my own daughter and twin six year old cousins(Who happen to be the most ADHD/inattentive children you can find.)
But they're very open to it. The first time I brought it up with my cousins, they sat there and meditated for about ten minutes.
But every child is different and Vimick is right in some ways; they have to be ready.
Not to mention, they still need time for their body to develop to a stable state in which they can channel energy with out it being too damaging; you need to take it slow.

But then at least they don't think like the most of the people that nothing is possible. That alone is a huge head start in this area.
The problem is that you alone are not responsable for raising your child, so others like the teacher can give them ideas you think incorrect.
I think I will try it, if I get a child :) (at least the ideas

I'll test it. My mom had a baby. As soon as she can talk, I'll teach her.

What bad can really happen to a child that is being taught. I wasn't taught and I came out ok. I wish I was physically taught something. But i dont. Just wanted someone to paly with.

I've wonder about it too.
They cannot learn with concepts as we learnt, but you can teach psionics in the same way as you teach to walk or talk. If psychic skills born with us as our legs, then we can learn psionics in the same way as walking: culture! we can walk because or parents walked, then they used our capacity to mimic teaching us how to walk. Sometimes they helped at beginning, slowly, but that's all.

Anyway, with 'child', I guess you mean someone arround 4/5 years old?
Not someone with the age of 14? :P
(Yes, that's correct, I'm 14)

I have a little sister ( 9 years old ) which really take me as role model ( I'm 18 years old ) so I guess that when I'll be ready to speak about it and she will catch me in action I'll teach her... some things.
but to say to her " There are people who don't belive in this and will annoy you"
is pretty harsh for her age at school.
any opinion?

falcon, indeed, I meant around that age, maybe a bit older to a maximum of about 10 years and a minimum of 0 years old :)
RazSh18, I think that it indeed is a bit harsh, but that is not the important question I think. The important question is, in my opinion, does she care? If so, I don't think she is ready, if she doens't care, she might get you some nice results. (just my view)

runical have a good point of view! But let's see other ideas I consider right:
-Maybe you should try to see if gets interested about psionics. Yes, then teach her that shouldn't hear to what others say all the time. That is important not only for psionics, but for many things in life too.
-Or you can use the movies approach (not very good idea at all): teach her in secret.

It depends on whether the child has it drilled into them that it's not possible or not...
Focus comes with time, belief is something we are born with.

I believe that the power on has in Psionics is dictated by focus, willpower and/or general control of it. Children usually lack all of these, though it can happen that they 'burst' for a bit.
But what they do have, is a mind where it's really searching what the most efficient routes are, including in psionics. A young age gives them the ability to get a taste of what is possible, although they do not control it.

My thoughts exactly. Children do lack most of the focus, but they do have that aptitude for being opened up to new possibilities.
Chances are that the only real advantage of teaching a child psionics would be that the child would not be hindered by doubt and would have a little experience to begin with. These strong roots in psionics could prove useful in the long run if they are acted upon. It's much like teaching a child self-defense at a young age: The training gets so rooted into their minds that it gives them a massive advantage when they are older and almost does the work for them. I should know, I took karate lessons from the age of 5 to the age of 11. Much of the training has still not left me. I even have self-defensive reflex reactions from time to time when "threatened".
Well, all we can do is theorize anyway, so we'll just have to observe the results for ourselves.
