Product Description Presents an in-depth look at children who have experienced the near-death phenomenon and the heightened abilities that these children exhibit
• Provides compelling evidence for the existence of a generation of children who represent the spiritual evolution of the human race
• Includes firsthand testimonies of children who have returned from near death
The New Children and Near-Death Experiences is the first book to provide--from the view of the child--an in-depth study of children who have experienced the near-death phenomenon and its aftereffects. Atwater notes that the child who returns from a near-death experience is not the same child as before, but is a “remodeled, rewired, reconfigured, refined version of the original.” Presenting data to support her contention that these children have experienced structural, chemical, and functional changes in the brain, she also shows how their greater empathic abilities as well as dramatically higher intelligence are qualities that are also present in children born since 1982--enhanced abilities that cannot be tied to simple genetics. Atwater shows that understanding the near-death experiences of children can help us prepare for a quantum leap in the evolution of humanity.
And a little child shall lead us...October 4, 2008 I highly recommend this book...very inspiring, as it clearly illustrates that when we die, it is only our bodies that die. Our souls will live on. No one needto fear "death"...it is simply a transition, like walking from one room into another. The children interviewed for this book explain it beautifully.
The New ChildrenMay 30, 2008 This book is great and very informative. There is so much in here and anyone with children should read this book even if you do not believe in it.
children and NDE'sJanuary 10, 2008 i don't know what i expected, but it wasn't to be bored to death. maybe to be inspired, or to learn something i didn't know. it was far to clinical for inspiration. it reminded me of a college textbook, and it was just as tedious as one. it is definitly not a book to keep next to the commode. yes, i learned some things, and that's why i gave it 2 stars. the book wasn't bad, it was just not what i expected, or wanted.
Telling Children They're Spiritually advanced Worries MeMay 17, 2007 8 out of 9 found this review helpful
I was once a member of a reiki group that basically broke up because a woman there had taught her teenage daughter that she was some kind of spiritual giant. It played out a lot like the salem witch trials with this out-of-control twelve year old going around the room "reading" everyone's aura. If you voiced any doubts about her "gift" she would say, "I see your aura as being black--" The whole thing was a pretty disgusting display of goofiness and letting the ego of someone who didn't have any maturity at all get completely out of whack. Children are always amazing to me, but I think it's just as likely a product of the miracle of human dna than some kind of sudden leap into the future for the human race. I would like to believe the human race was taking a leap forward but when I look around I see the same signs of greed, selfishness and the rest of it that have always been there. Most of the world is still struggling with the squalor of crushing poverty and it's really only the tiny garden of the few industrialized countries that afford people the leisure and comfort to indulge in this kind of fanciful hope built on precious little real evidence. The bottom line is that if you want to really grow spiritually try to be of service to others and don't worry what color their aura is.

Very important information for all who have anything to do with children in hospitals, schools, therapy, at play or at home both in peace time and particularly in war.
