Seems to me the parents are pushing their kids to appear to have some kind of psychic gift.
Indigo kids, my arse.
Couldn't agree more, the women are utter space cadets who are destroying their kids' minds. Shocking.
She would be utterly hilarious in that Derek Acorah kind of way if it weren't for the fact that she's trying to convince children that they have a special gift.
If adults want to partake in this New Age mumbo jumbo, then they're free to do so, even if they're deluding themselves (and often other gullible adults) but to do that to children just isn't right.
None of them are psychic, there's no such thing.
As someone else pointed out, it's fine for new age parents (of which these two women are classic stereotypes of the genre!) to believe garbage, but to pretend your kid is psychic and fill their head with delusions should be a crime.
Shame on both them, and the charlatans they've been visiting for validation.
The mum with the dark hair was clearly asking her little boy leading questions, and like most kids he was giving the answers that would please mum best. Perhaps ADHD isn't a trendy enough diagnosis for her.
I think the mum with the red hair hasn't come to terms with all those miscarriages.
If the kids have psychic experiences surely the parents should let them have normal childhoods? When they're old enough to decide for themselves, they can explore any psychic potential.
Very uncomfortable viewing. New agey "stage mum" syndrome at its worst :mad:
There's having your head filled with crap (witness these two women tonight) and there's filling your own head with crap.
Sad thing is there are probably loads of new age loonies watching it who think it's real and will sign their kids up.
Hope you're right, Keyser.

This episode should be made compuslory viewing for anyone who thinks psyhics are real.
I saw no real proof of the gifts they claimed their children had. I was a little less opposed to the mother of the young boy though, she did after all allow him treatment as she didn't think he needed the psychic problems.
The other mother though, she was indeed insane, lol. Seemed to be as though she wanted to make herself into some sort of spiritualist hero. And as far as her children's gifts went, well did we see any proof of them? No. Her daughter's commitment and belief was just a product of all those years of having such beliefs and instruction enforced upon her. God only knows why the mother chose to do this, but i think her non-believer son summed it up with that mid-life crisis arguement, lol.
I think to some extent though, she has real problems and the whole psychic and magical element of her life was an effort to subdue some real pain. Such as the seven miscarriages she suffered. I can understand why someone would convince themeselves those children are still around and a big part of her ordinary life.
