There has been an tremendous increase of interest by the Media about the new generation of kids like L.E.M..
We have tried as much as possible to accommodate that natural curiosity in a holistic and loving manner. After all, it was one of L.E.M.’s spirit contacts who asked us to write a book or something to get the children together. And, we are here (on the web) to say that,
“YES, these abilities are real and are the heritage of ALL humans, if nurtured and respected.”

We offer the following account, not for ego, but for other parents to use as they will in their own assessments of how they choose to protect and guide their own soul charges at the same time as offer your service as a model of our spiritual growth as a species.
Over the years, our local alternative press, Spirit in the Smokies, requested articles about us, and called us a “multidimensional family”. Because it is a magazine for the consciousness community and designed as personal accounts with no people-bashing in the name of ratings, LlaeI felt comfortable writing a story about herself as a 12 year old.

My Story: Story of a 12 year old with Extra Abilities by L.E.M.
L.E.M. explained how she sees the world. Nancy also contributed an article from her own experiences in raising a highly aware young person.

My Mother’s Transition by Nancy Baumgarten
Nancy shared her poignant metaphysical week with her mother just before her transition and the growth it offers young spiritual children as well.
After careful consideration, L.E.M. and I have turned down several requests from TV Talk Shows; both the Leeza Gibbons Show a few years ago as well as the Montel Williams Show because we both felt that the countries’ mood was not yet understanding of these gifts enough to not turn it all into a 3 ring circus at that time. (We felt confirmed in that knowing when others wrote us to let us know that the outcome of one of those shows using other children had given the impression that those children were freaks.)
The July-August 1999: Common Boundary Magazine Article
interviewed me (mom, Nancy) for an article about L.E.M. and the growing network of kids, recognizing that this expanded awareness is growing in our population.
August 1999: The Asheville Citizen-Times
Then, because of the Common Boundary article, our local newspaper asked for an interview. Here is where our lessons-learned really begin. We were starting our first Enchanted Forest Intuitive Camp and I was on a role to find children who would become L.E.M.’s peers, so she didn’t feel so alone. Hesitantly, L.E.M. agreed. Though the result was okay perhaps from most peoples standards, just one little subtly demeaning phrase was enough to make a highly sensitive child, or any child, cringe. Here she was just a month or so away from going back to high school after 4 years home educating and she was mortified that she would be regarded as a freak. Mop-up time on my part!
5/15/2000 TV Interview: KOVR13 (CBS) Sacramento, CA
copy from their website archives: http://www.kovr13.com/
to jumppoint to Society & culture to P for Psychic
As part of their “sweeps week” they were creating a special presentation on alternative things, and the movie, The Sixth Sense was just out. I reminded L.E.M. that Juangwa wanted her to gather the children together, and she would maybe have the opportunity to show that its normal, she’s normal etc. She agreed again, since it was not going to be shown in our area. Of course when it was all formatted etc the program included the requisite debunker, an antediluvian psychiatrist they found who thought our children were schizophrenic. Oh well, he’s hopeless and everyone else sure knows it.
August 2000 TV Interview: KOVR13 Short re-shown by ABC Affiliate in Asheville, NC
Well, now, unexpected but we had no rights. So hey, we’re getting a thick skin now, who cares. .....then the local announcer with a few seconds on his hands decides to put his finger to his head in that circular screwy fashion..... making a mockery. I tried to convince L.E.M. that none of the kids her age watch the evening news. To their credit, if anyone saw it they didn’t treat her any differently at school.
