Hello, I am the mother of a 7 year old daughter who has heard voices for several years now. She copes very well for the most part. She is in the advanced programs at school, loves to socialize, read, and dance. She's very sweet, thoughtful, and emotionally intelligent.
She has two voices in particular - one nice one, and one mean one who tells her to do bad things. Sometimes the voices argue with one another. It only happens when things are quiet, such as at home...or during a test at school. She always wants there to be some type of noise such as a tv, or music so she doesn't have to listen to the voices.
She's an only child, and I know she feels lonely quite often - even though we do socialize a lot. But our home life can be fairly quiet at times because she's an only child.
One of the biggest issues she struggles with is the thought that she is "abnormal" because of these voices. She wishes she could have other children with similar experiences to relate to. If you are the parent of a child who is also hearing voices, I would love to hear from you about your own experience.
