This is the second episode in a 4-part series on "SHAMANISM AND CHILDREN".
Shamanic practitioner and teacher Dory Cote addresses the following questions:
• I have heard that Power Animals are often very special to children and that they often have experiences that are amazingly unique and transformational. Can you share more about why this is true? [0:30]
• A parent has written to you expressing concern that their child will be shamed or ridiculed by their peers or by the teacher or other adults about their deep connection with this “invisible” spirit animal. What can you say to that parent & other caring adults about how to help a child navigate these possibilities? And how can a parent be helpful in coaching their child about staying safe from bullying or ridicule about this? [5:20]
• Have you ever had a situation where a child also needed other intervention by say a psychologist or other professional to help overcome fear or anxiety? And how would you handle that if it were to occur? [8:57]
• This completes our prepared questions on children and power animals. Do you have anything else you want to add at this time? [12:17]
