| DD 13 has been getting into tarot and witch-y stuff lately. I didn't intervene, as I think it's necessary to let teens try out their passions. However my daughter is now claiming that she has the "gift of prophecy", insisting that her dreams tell the future. For instance, when I dropped a jug of milk yesterday, she smiled and said that she "had a dream about this." I don't know if she's joking or not and it's worrying me. Thanks. |
| So I don't tell people this but I have a bit of the same. I would not say I can "tell the future" or have any "gift of prophecy" but I've had situation (too many to make it a fluke) where I've dreamed something and it came true. And not things like everyday/deja vous stuff. But, like natural disasters or deaths. |
| At the moment, it seems pretty harmless. At 13, I think the more you tell her "no you can't", the more she will push back. Keep an eye on it. |
| Tell her to pick stock for you. Call it out when she’s wrong. |
| Powerball? Let’s go!!!!!!!! |
|
Spilling milk a kind of a lame prophecy. Does she know that you're going to stub your toe, too?
I'd smile and nod. It will pass. |
| Could be hypomania. Could just been teen stuff. Keep an eye on it. |
| So your teen has found the latest thing to annoy the adults in her life. |
| Ask her for the winning Powerball numbers. |
This. Unless she wins the lottery. |
| Take her to church. Turn away from witchcraft. Beware. |
Beware??????? |
|
Must be so nice to be you and not have to worry about REAL problems, OP.
I was into tarot at the same age. It led to strictly nothing except a few moments of joy. Let her enjoy herself with 100% harmless fun. Would you rather she gets groomed on the internet, cyberbullies others, or shoplifts at the mall, like some classmates of my daughter's??? |
| Ask her about politics, we could use some clarity. |
| Watch out if she gets into witchcraft and bad spirits. |
