10 Signs Your Child Is An Old Soul In A Young Body by publicenemy(m): 1:41pm On Jan 14, 2016
Although strange and perplexing, the Old
Soul child is one of the greatest unexpected
blessings life has to offer not only because of
their innate wisdom, but also because of the
level-headed stability they have to offer.
If you are struggling to relate to your child,
understand where they are coming from, or
simply want some closure, you might benefit
from reading the signs below:
1. They are
otherworldly.
You don’t know what exactly it is about your
child… but something about them seems out of
place. The best word you can think to describe
your son or daughter is that they are
“ otherworldly”.
In short, they just don’t seem to be from this
world, and often times they are very much in a
world of their own making.
2. They are pensive.
While the other parents are kicking balls,
shooting hoops and taking their little tykes to
playgroup, your child seems to be withdrawn,
dreamy and contemplative. In other words,
your child seems to be in a perpetually pensive
state, quietly absorbed in their
own meditative world.
3. They struggle to fit in
with other children
their age.
Although they usually attempt to blend in with
the children in their age group, if your child is
an Old Soul they will gradually lose interest in
the conversations, interests and dramas of the
kid’s their age.
Sometimes this can result in being bullied and
picked on, especially in school, and so they can
sometimes live their childhood and pubescent
years as outcasts.

4. They can relate to
people much older than
them.
If your child is an Old Soul you will notice that
they often gravitate towards spending time
with older people.
For example, at school they usually tend to
befriend the teachers, and in the family social
life, they tend to enjoy talking to older people
(e.g. grandparents, adult friends, retirees).
This is because psychologically, they are on the
same level.
5. They don’t like
listening to authority
and can be perceived as
“smart asses”.
Far from being anarchic, Old Soul children are
highly intelligent, astute and observant and so
are not as susceptible to blindly obeying
authority as childlike children are.
Instinctively feeling themselves to be equals to
their adult peers, Old Soul children tend to get
in trouble with figures of authority while
growing up, easily seeing through the puerile,
flawed and illogical demands they are often
confronted with.
Therefore, in school and in home life, the Old
Soul child will often not hesitate to argue or
wisecrack his or her way out of unreasonable
punishments or requests.
6. They tend to spend a
lot of their time alone.
If your child is an Old Soul, they will find it
difficult to integrate into the social circles of
their age group. Coupled with their
contemplative natures, Old Soul children will
often spend time alone despite their often
well-developed social skills.
This is not because the child is anxious or
depressive, but simply because they are
comfortable in their own company and rarely
need to depend on anyone else to provide
them with enjoyment and stimulation.
7. They are very
inquisitive.
Seeking to perpetually build on their
knowledge and wisdom from a young age, Old
Soul children love to ask many questions about
the world in different shapes and forms. If
your child is an Old Soul, they can often be
found reading books, exploring the world,
experimenting and asking surprising questions.
8. They are
“underachievers” or
“overachievers”.
Depending on the temperament of your child,
if they are more emotional and creative, they
will often work hard at school in an attempt to
please you.
However, if your child is more logical and
scholarly, they will often rebel against the
schooling system, sensing the flaws and
limitations of such a system they are forced to
be a part of.
9. They are responsible
and independent.
One of the most noticeable characteristics of
the Old Soul child is that they are unusually
stable and reliable. For this reason, many
parents who have Old Soul children often find
themselves leaning on them for support,
advice and assistance.
While the good-natured Old Soul child is happy
to help whenever needed, eventually, if they
are given too many responsibilities or
depended on too heavily, they will seek
distance and freedom.
10. They sound like a
“little old man” or
“little old woman”.
Sometimes, out of the blue, a witty
interjection, or incisive question will arise from
your child if they are an Old Soul.
The best way to describe your child’s wisdom
beyond years is that they sound like a “little old
man or woman” unexpectedly giving advice and
counsel.
