Children and AP...

My son was able to do this at 3yo. I've been told he has "abilities". Does anyone have any guidance for me? He is 13 now and still sees spirits and he is afraid to try and AP again because of his experience at 3 years old. Help!

What happened that gave you the impression that he could AP at 3?

Going through the story I realized it was OBE not AP... they are completely different right?

I apologize. I don't really know a lot about all of this so I got them mixed up. He would fall asleep and he said a "lady with big hair and big teeth" would make him go flying and he could see mommy and daddy sleeping and he was flying over our house and he would fly with her to grandma's house about an hour away. He could see her sleeping too. I took him to a therapist and he happened to specialize in children with "abilities". He said he was having out of body experiences...apparently rare for his age.

My dad would get tubes in his ears when he was three/four years old and when they put him to sleep he would have out of body experiances. I believe it is very rare, but eventually he got used to it because he would constantly have to keep getting them. But after several times it kept taking him longer to wake up and he started getting attacked by spirits when he was sleeping at night.

This is unusual, but not unheard of and I don't think there's much to worry about. We all have particular talents and aptitudes when it comes to magic, your son isn't unique in that respect. The fact that he's developed these skills at his age is impressive, and if these "gifts" are manifesting without his intention then it probably signifies a lot of innate potential. I recommend finding someone who can teach him to control these abilities, as well as what precautions he should take while using them. This isn't a serious concern, hostile forces are rare even among magic, but he should at least know that he has no reason to be afraid of being hurt because of how simple and easy it is to defend himself. I suggest you encourage him to learn more about his abilities, perhaps even get him an account on this site.
