Summary: Understanding The New Children & Their Special Gifts
Review: THE NEW CHILDREN AND NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES provides an exceptionally thorough overview of the wide variety of near-death experiences (NDEs) for children and a fascinating description of how these experiences transform children's lives. Author PMH Atwater points out that while there are many types of near-death experiences, there is one identifiable pattern that fits them all... and this pattern sets the stage for great changes in the child's life. Atwater further explains how children born recently, the "new children," are demonstrating many of the same characteristics of children who have had NDEs. Many of these children view future events before they happen, learn at a very fast pace, are quick to recognize relationships, see ambiguity in what appears to be factual information, think abstractly, enjoy working independently, and don't want their giftedness pointed out.

Atwater shares her decades of NDE experience and research in such an engaging fashion that I became completely absorbed in the stories of these amazing children and their families. In addition to sharing detailed personal accounts, Atwater provides helpful tips for parents of these gifted children who are often deeply concerned that their children be more "normal." These children need an open, supportive environment, and can benefit from revisiting and documenting their experiences.

I highly recommend THE NEW CHILDREN AND NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES to anyone interested in better understanding today's new children, and catching a glimpse of how this next generation will change the world!
