Hi All,
I have recently had an interesting experence and need feedback. I have been working this Summer at a Head Start program, filling in for staff who need to be absent. Last week I worked in one of the preschool rooms for the first time. (Most of my time has been spent with the kids under three.) Immediately after i walked in the door on the first day one of the little girls in this room was my constant shadow and was overly interested in being with me as much as possible. Now this in itself didn't raise any flags with me, as generally kids really like me and seem to form a close attachment to me quickly, though
this girl formed one exceptionally fast, by any standard.
What happened yesterday though was both unprecedented and a little weird. This same little girl, who is barely 5 years old btw,
ran up to me hugged me and repeated over and over: "You're my daddy, you're my daddy."
She kept repeating it despite my denials. It was both an uncomfortable situation and strangely appealing.
Now, I must ask for everyone's opinion on this. My common sense/profesional mind tells me that this is just the wishful thinking of a little girl who does not have the best of home lives and has become emotionally attached to a kind, careing indivedual in her life. But, my belief in reincarnation suggests that she may have some inkling of a past life connection between us and was expressing this with her words.
I can't stop thinking about this, what do you think?
