My grandson is 4 years old. His mother and I are so concerned.
He is waking up speaking of hoping for Satan to come and hurt Heavenly Father and taking his mother to jail He has become violent in nature, hitting, spitting, etc. Not like him at all.Does anyone have advice? We are in the WA south Puget sound area.
Whatever religion you follow, begin contact with the clergy on the matter.
Have the child checked out by professionals, both medically and psychologically, to rule out any known conditions.
Get back into contact with the clergy of the religion you follow, inquiring about an exorcism. They may first investigate your home.
There is also the possibility that the child is reacting to some conditioning at home. I have heard children utter similar phrases, getting things a bit mixed up from things they've heard, being raised in an environment of extremism. Often parents forget how openly they may speak around their children, taking for granted how little they assume a child may understand.
At four and five years old, my sister and I used to read the King James Bible, though our young minds had little comprehension of what the tales actually said. But names and concepts stuck, to an extent. We also knew a lot of names and concepts vaguely, just from hearing our parents' discussions.
Being four years old, the child may be going through a phase. Again, it is something to discuss with the doctor. Jumping straight into an exorcism could scar an otherwise healthy child.
Thank you I see no extreme talk .. None of satan. He goes to a private Christian preschool. May e it is just a phase. My daughter is making an appointment w a psychologist . his violent, out of the blue actions are sure disturbing. I am going to sage the house and light a purity candle
Four and going to a Christian School and you wonder where he is getting all of this Satan talk. At school of course.
I would take him to a Child Psychiatrist. He may be autistic, or psychotic. In either case, time for some early intervention.
He's already been tested for autism. They insist they don't talk about satan. Just Christ and bible stories.
Parents don't discuss satan either. Wondering if it's his paternal grandparents. She is waaaay over the top
If the child is,hearing any mention just briefly of satan he may be confusing jesus with satan or doesnt understand the stories or concepts in the stories which could be part of a phase that theycare going through trying to sort out the good charactors from the bad ones or they may have a psychosis causing a confusion or twisting around who is good or evil
I went to a southern Baptist church as a kid and went through a phase were I thought I was a demon or could be a demon but also thought I could be satan but forgot and didnt remember yet
