About this episode

Kari Bandle explores the natural psychic awareness of children and the impact of adult influence on their spiritual development.

What if children aren't imagining things — what if they're actually perceiving them? In this Children's Day episode of Medium with a Mic, Kari Bandle of Sacred Whispers Studio explores one of the most profound and overlooked truths in spiritual development: children are born with a natural psychic awareness, a direct connection to their soul's wisdom — and most of us had it quietly shut down before we even turned ten. Blending spiritual insight with real psychological research, Kari walks through why children are natural perceivers, what happens around ages 7 and 8 when the logical mind begins to override that gift, and how well-meaning adults — acting from love, fear, or faith — unknowingly close the door on something sacred. She shares a deeply personal story of witnessing this happen in her own home, and offers something simple and powerful: what we could say instead. This episode is for the parents and grandparents who want to do it differently. It's for the adults who are still trying to find their way back. And it's for anyone who has ever had a moment — a knowing, a feeling, a whisper — and wondered if it was real. It was. It always was. Topics covered: Childhood psychic…
