RAISING RAINBOWS:
HOW TO PARENT GIFTED CHILDREN

In this life, I have been gifted the highest blessings of not only motherhood, but raising light warrior rainbow children. Rainbow children, not to be confused with a rainbow baby, which is a baby born after a miscarriage, are a special group of enlightened and gifted beings being born now to help usher in the New Earth. I have two beautiful lightworker sons who are both empaths and both have their own unique gifts. My sons are souls who will be part of the change, who will be here to help others on their journeys.

As magickal as this all sounds, it doesn’t take away from the difficulties of motherhood. My children are my perpetual mirrors, reflecting back my strengths, my weaknesses, my light and my shadows. Having patience and tolerance for these special boys is my lesson. While I fully embrace their gifts and support them every step of the way, when you have kids that are a little different than others, it can feel like a constant test. What I mean by “different” is they are 5D souls living in a VERY 3D world and this presents many challenges as a parent.

My older son is highly gifted, in fact gifted in such ways I don’t think teachers, therapists or most adults are ready to hear. He is a new soul to this Earth, and he is pure and sweet. He is a visual learner and a right brain dominant kinda guy. He loves art, music, dancing, creating and he is one with nature. I can’t take him on a walk without collecting every stick, hugging every tree and he even attracts butterflies. He is an Aries stellium, and the amount of energy he has is off the charts! I don’t feel traditional school will be a good fit for who he is and how he learns. No offense to teachers, in fact I have the highest respect for teachers, my mother has been a special education teacher for over 30 years, many of my cousins and close friends are teachers, but school has become institutionalized and linear and children are not one size fits all. Children deserve special attention so they can truly flourish and shine.

My younger son is also gifted. He is an empath like myself and my big guy, but his gift is he can make the entire room light up. At not even two years old he has a full personality, charming, funny, social, expressive, bossy, quick and oh what an actor! His soul has been here many times before. Traditional school would probably be fine for him, but he also deserves to be in the proper environment to nourish him and how extra he is. (I say that lovingly lol)

Because of the person I am and my own spiritual beliefs, I parent my children a little bit different then most. This usually doesn't get me voted most popular mom at the playground, but good thing I don’t give a shit. I have been working on myself for lifetimes (literally) and I am here to guide empaths and lightworkers on their journeys to unlearn all their conditioning and heal so they may shine their bright lights to the world. I read tarot, I love astrology, (I can and will talk about both for hours on end), I am a Reiki Master, I enjoy the fuck out of eating nourishing foods and treating my body well, I do candle magick, have daily rituals, I talk to my guides every day, I believe in holistic healing and all natural living, I don’t believe the information the media tries to spoon feed me, I am a light warrior. I am not hiding who I am so Karen at the playground isn’t uncomfortable. And I am here to encourage the same for my children.

If you have gifted children as well, I have a few tips I’d like to share that offer compassion when you feel the test upon you is too great to handle.

I mentioned not being into traditional school for my kids and home school seems to be our only option anyway. I do my best to encourage their love for creativity. Lots of different mediums of art and sensory type play. The more I do this, the more I realize I am here to guide them and not teach them. I also let them play with Angel Oracle cards that reflect things like “compassion”, “rest”, “forgiveness”, “listening” - these are better than any flashcard they would see at school.
Lots of time in nature. We go on walks, lots of time in the water, the beach is both of their happy places, playing in the grass and Earthing. They are at so much peace when they are in nature.
Getting down on their level when they are tantruming. They are throwing the tantrum because they are not able to communicate their needs and not being understood. Get on the floor with them, look them in the eyes, give them their space, and speak to them firmly but compassionately.
Involve them in some of my own practices. They hear me speak in my morning rituals when I talk to my guides and express gratuity and say my mantras. We smudge the house together (safely!), I let them hold my crystals. I have given them both Reiki. We have a special alter for our guides whom they are familiar with. I embrace this stuff with them and hope one day they will form their own rituals and practices.
Personally, I don’t like labels, so when it comes to my kids, I don’t identify them with any in regards to who they are or how someone else says the learn or function.
Using astrology and their birth charts to figure out their personalities has been a game changer!

While this task is a great one, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Lucky am I to get to raise these incredible spirits.
