My daughter remembers an accident...

My daughter who is almost 6, told me a story so convincing not just once but twice, as we passed the same area. This was when she was between the ages of 4-5 yrs. I am driving her to daycare and on the way there is this put-put golf to the right with this waterfall and rocks and etc. We had never been there we just drive by it. She didnt know it was a put put golf.
Well, I truly believe she may have remembered an experience from a past life? I mean, first I over looked it when she told me this story and then a few days later, she mentioned it again... same drive by place.. so It just wasnt as though she would make this up. It was very -no big deal like in the way she told me and that it was like it just happened say amonth ago in her memory...

She fell and died and I was her new mommy. I mean I cant remember her exact words, I dont think she said she died but she drowned in the water, she fell off the rocks... just like that and it was said twice as she pointed to the waterfall.

I had asked a few questions the 2nd time. She got me thinking and believing etc. New mommy I said, wow..

Well the thing is, she was always afraid of the water and still is, finally this summer she just started getting over the fear but on her own time. We got her into swimming lessons, but she has never been a fish in the water, perhaps she is slowly forgetting the memory and also just us encouraging her to learn to swim to not drown its helps...

what doesnt fit is when she was a baby I dont ever remember her being afraid of baths or crying too much? perhaps she was too young as an infant to remember and all it took is that ...

familiar looking place at the put-put golf with the water fall to trigger her memory. She has not brought it up since. Its been over a year and we still drive by it.
 
Welcome to the forum carebear7,


Thank you for sharing your daughter's story with us. It's strange how often small children will say things that most people would pass off without a second thought.


Good for you for listening and being open-minded. :D Obviously talking about has helped your daughter, if she hasn't brought it up in a while - and has learned to overcome her fear with some love an encouragement from her parents. :) I think that sometimes healing occurs just by the parent acknowledging what their child is saying. ;)


Imo - triggers can happen at any time and the fact that your daughter wasn't afraid of water as in infant doesn't negate the possibility that what she communicated to you was a past life memory. Children go in and out of altered states so quickly - their brainwave patterns are much different than an adult's. ;)


Have you read either of Carol's books? I think you'd find Children's Past Lives especially interesting in light of your experiences with your daughter. You can read chapter one online here.


Since the issue seems to be resolved, I wouldn't bring it up with her again, but in case she decides to tell you more at some point, I'd recommend reading the thread: How do I talk with my child when she talks about her Past Life?

Hello Carebear7 and welcome! :)


Aili gave you a good reply, but I'd just like to add that it's also possible your daughter wasn't afraid of baths etc. as they didn't remind her of the actual situation that took place outside in flowing water. Also often driving in a car helps children to go in an altered state and triggers spontaneous memories.


It's great yor daughter seems to be getting over her fear!
