[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This happened when my DD was about 2.5yo.  She was in the bathtub, just playing and talking to me about anything and everything.  She asked how old I was, and then she said, "Before, I was a big girl too."  I asked what she meant by "Before".  She said, "Before.  When I was a big girl and was in a car.  The car went boom and had a big fire.  Then I was a baby and came here."  She was so matter of fact about it, it was creepy as hell. [/quote]

My DD is always talking about her grandpa, one lives overseas and she's never met him. The other she met once when she was 6 months old.

Yesterday she said her grandpa found me in a box, and I was crying and he took me away. She also said grandpa got killed in a car crash. [/quote]

These two stories are wigging me out.  Apparently when I was a kid I did and said a lot of things that led my parents and grandparents to believe I was reincarnated.  These were religious people but they couldn't reconcile the things I said and knew with my age and life experiences.  I had forgotten those memories until reading this post.[/quote]

There are a few good books about children who (seem to) remember their past lives... the one I read was called "Old Souls" but there are several... fascinating![/quote]

In the book you read... how long do these children retain their memories of past lives?  I'm the poster with the 2.5yo DD who talked about dying in a car accident/fire, and just very curious.  She's never mentioned it again, and now, at 6yo, she would probably look at me like I were insane if I asked her.  I'd like to chalk it up to just toddler imagination, but what she described was awful, and I don't know how she would have come up with that.  [/quote]

NP here.  From what I've read about these children with past-life memories it goes away around age 4.  I think it is debatable if you encourage it in the 3 year old time frame that you may get more details and it may solidify in their memory, but general consensus is that without more, most kids have totally lost all recollection between the 4-5 year span.

My son also used to talk about a prior life when he was around 3. He said he lived in NY, told us how many siblings he had, etc. By age 4 or 5, it stopped. [/quote]

I'm the original "Old Souls" poster and I agree with the 2 posters above, I believe around 5 they stop remembering and/or talking about it.[/quote]
