There has actually been research that shows that small children and toddlers can remember past lives easier than adults can. Some recalling details that would be very hard to know at that age unless having lived it in a different life. It could just be retained information from being around the tv as infants or since their minds are so new to this new body (if past lives exist) they are able to recall the details of those past lives with more ease than adults can.

I'm sorry but this is one of the dumbest things I have ever read. What research could possibly have been done for this? Since when are past lives something you could research? When are children reliable when it comes to imagination vs memory?

I'm pretty sure the same research you're referring to was for a television show or someone trying to sell a book. Either way a child saying odd things is no more proof of reincarnation than someone claiming to have been abducted by a UFO is proof of extraterrestrial life.

Wow, what a douche.

Okay I'm sorry, I thought /r/parenting was an accepting an open minded group. I didn't realize that commenting about something that I not only believe in (past lives) and actually read about via Reddit was something that I as going to get bashed about. In my comment I didn't say that it was proof or fact, I simply said research had been done and that yes it could be the child's imagination I never said it couldn't be. So my apologies for sharing, learned my lesson about posting in this subreddit. But you essentially calling me a dumb ass for what I personally believe has made my day ten times better, thanks! Just so you know if you had shared something or anybody for that matter that may not fit with how I see things I would have never been this rude, internet or not.

You know, I've never believed in past lives or anything, but every time I hear a kid saying something like that (there was an AskReddit thread awhile back with a kid talking about a car accident with his "other mommy and daddy" and how he died and came to his current mommy and daddy) it genuinely makes me wonder, at least a little. I mean, how the hell do kids come up with this stuff? I still definitely lean toward the "kids are creepy with active imaginations" theory, but I don't think you're crazy or stupid for believing otherwise.

Thank you. I really do appreciate it. When I was a kid I had an extremely over active imagination so I do agree it could be that kids can come up with the most unique and creepy sort of stories. But there is also a chance that it could be recollection from past experiences. We don't know, how could we. There is no 100% proof in one direction or the other and I'm okay with that. I'd take uncertainty over certainty any day.

Open-mindedness doesn't mean believing in something that absolutely no empirical evidence exists to support. It's fine if you believe in past lives, but you don't get to call people closed-minded simply for not agreeing with you.

Considering Leviss said it was the dumbest thing he/she ever read and had showed no thought that it could be possible, that's kinda' close minded.

Also, It's fine to disagree about something, but don't be a douchebag about it.

In the same way that not being open to the possibility of sentient unicorns who live just below the Earth's surface and control our world via a giant computer simulation would be closed-minded, sure. That's also possible, but I'm sure you don't believe it.

I'm sure that if someone presented empirical evidence to /u/Leviss he/she would be open to it. But no such thing exists. The words were a bit harsh, granted, but there's no reason at all to believe in past lives as anything more than an article of faith.

Dude, don't diss Unicornia. They can hear you.

I never called anybody closed minded, I simply called them rude! Because that's what that post was, rude! Open-mindedness means seeing what others believe and understanding that that is their beliefs and that they don't have to be your own. I don't care if people believe what I believe, my original post wasn't even about that. It was about a post I had seen a long time ago about research that had been done on the matter. I was simply sharing that information in an unbiased manner. Stating that yes it could be their imagination by being something that they picked up from tv or other media and that there is no definitive proof hence my (if past lives do exist) part. And got ripped into for it. Shoot I even provided a link to an EDU site that is about similar research. I just feel that an open minded subreddit wouldn't be so rude about someone's opinion that doesn't go along with their point of view.

Not explicitly, but saying "Okay I'm sorry, I thought /r/parenting was an accepting an open minded group" implies that you don't think he/she is an open minded person. Which would imply a closed minded person.

I'll agree that the choice of words was pretty rude though.
