Anyone watching this?

The parents in it are a disgrace.

[Hogs Head]

The mother of the little boy Oliver is obviously making a big deal out of it. How old is he? Like - four or five? It's obvious he is just seeing imaginary friends etc etc. My sister did that when she was that age; we just ignored it! She is just making it a big deal when it very clearly isn't!

The best thing for these children would be for them to taken into care and their mothers sectioned.

[Eraserhead]

Utter b*llocks, I'm afraid. I don't believe in psychics or mediums or any of that rubbish.

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. One of the kids is obviously ADHD/Autistic and the parents would rather brainwash them than face facts.

Couldn't agree more, the women are utter space cadets who are destroying their kids' minds. Shocking.

The woman with the red hair in the programme is talking ABSOLUTELY utter BOLLOCKS! 'We need our children! They have such a wonderful gift! They can save the earth!... bla bla bla!'

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.

It's child abuse. Kids are empty vessels, you can fill them with good things, or you can fill them with delusons that will make them useless adults.

It's absolutely wrong to condition kids with spiritual clap trap, but this is just a joke. Maybe some of them are psychic, but they should be left alone to explore it themselves.

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.

[Keyser Soze]

I believe that psychic experiences can happen, and that there are many things that can't be explained. HOWEVER, both the mothers in this show seem to be projecting their own problems on to their kids.

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

There's NO such thing as psychic experiences.

There's having your head filled with crap (witness these two women tonight) and there's filling your own head with crap.

[Bootle]

I think the programme is doing quite well showing them up as crackpots without really saying it. Good stuff, I hope a few new-agers are watching it.

I wonder how long 'Children of the Soul' will continue after this?

Sad thing is there are probably loads of new age loonies watching it who think it's real and will sign their kids up.

It's possible that a few social workers and police will take an interest, too.

All a bit creepy, isn't it?

[Plug In Baby]

I watched this programme and i completely think the parents are insane to project all their new age indigo kids crap on their kids. These kids are going to grow up with delusions of grandeur...i'm sure the girl at the end attempted to compare her gifts to Jesus'.I mean come on get real. The parents should just let their kids be what they are...kids.

[stud u like]

Why do they give nutters like that airspace? I would have thought social services would be onto them.

it was so laughable , yet sad - i was expecting something a bit more weighty . i feel sorry for them as they seemed to be desperate for something more than you get at the checkout counter - why dont they just get used to being ordinary earthlings and make the best of it .

The irony of this show being on the same evening that Paramount airs the wonderful John Edward epsiode of South Park is quite stark.

This episode should be made compuslory viewing for anyone who thinks psyhics are real.
