Question

My two year old watched a rabbit ghost circle us in my nieces room. Anyone got any ideas? Symbolisms, signs!?

Answer 1

somebody's pregnant?

Answer 2

There is a two year old in my family that talks about coyotes biting her.  We don't live anywhere near any coyotes.   I wouldn't worry too much about it.  Kids that age have wild imaginations.

Answer 3

Something very bunny is goingon in that room

Answer 4

Make sure she knows what a rabbit is, meaning did it look like a rabbit? My only concern is that it might have been something else looking like a rabbit or something that she could not describe so she 'ascribed' the term rabbit to it.

Just watch the frequency of these 'sightings' get as much details as you can. In a week she might laugh it off and forget all about it. A warning sign would be if the rabbit talks to her and says more than let's have tea or can I watch you color.

If the rabbit starts making directives, put the hammer down and now! Explain to the rabbit the child is no longer able to play with the child. Do this in front of the child so that her reasoning handles any distortions. Cause d**n, if she is seeing a rabbit, she may be mentally energizing (no pun) or it could be something else entirely which is my major concern in instances like this.

The toughest part is doing this in a kind and loving manner, you don't want her to think she's broken faith with you. She needs your trust as you need hers. I would put one of those receivers in her room, just to make sure...

Hey, my youngest brother said that a man in the checkout line at the A&P (yeh, I know a long freaking time ago) kept turning in to a lizard.  The man looked like he wanted to kill us all before he left the store, everybody wanted to know what we had done to the man. My mother was very cautious when we left the store. I don't think much about it, but what if..?

Answer 5

Don't encourage her...but pay attention to what she says.  Try to get her to describe the rabbit. What color is it? Does it have spots?  Don't laugh at her or she'll come up with a whole zoo just to make you laugh. If she keeps telling you she's seeing things...she might be telling the truth.(Or he.)

Answer 6

You've got one disturbed child, that's what you've got.

Answer 7

She is 2.  No symbols, no signs, no "rabbit ghost."  Just a two-year old with a healthy imagination.

Answer 8

Well, first off, it could have been her wild imagination or a dream of some sort. If it wasn't, I wouldn't get too worried...A cute little bunny in any form shouldn't do any harm. It could mean she has a healthy imagination. I wouldn't freak out too much...

Answer 9

It's more then likely her imagination.Though just maybe it's the ghost of Strawberry from "Watership Down".She did die a sudden violent death.

Answer 10

Two year olds have great imaginations, she is just telling you a story the same way that you told her about Santa Claus.

Answer 11

Hello,,never smoke around children.

Answer 12

It may look like a bunny to her but may be something else.  (Like when a child thinks a skunk is a kitty)  It could be anything and she just interprets it as a bunny.  Orb.  Mist. Ghost.  Wind blowing around a used dryer sheet.  Dust bunny.

The possibilities are endless.  Ask her doctor if her imagination is developed enough to make up stories at the age of two and work from there.

Answer 13

pay attention to wat she does. u can never be too sure. next time put a cat in there. cats see them apparenty

Answer 14

To the best of my knowledge you don't get rabbit ghosts, it's probably just her imagination. Treat it like you would treat an imaginary pet, say "that's nice dear" and ask a few questions about the rabbit and then let it rest. If you ignore children when they say things like this they sometime escalate as a means of getting attention (It'll be hoping around the room today, but you'll come in tomorrow and find that "it" has dug up the pot plants). The same can happen if you pay too much attention, also.

Answer 15

I would chalk that one up to imagination.  Kids that age are cognitively incapable of fully comprehending the world around them.

Answer 16

she is two....hello,   whatever, buy her a real bunny

Answer 17

When my son was two, he was telling me of a man standing in his toy box, and that the man goes through the wall. Well I was seeing a woman that floats, one month later I saw the man he saw. I woke up, he was standing next to me, he walk off and went through the wall. I saw no lower legs on him as he was walking through the floor, we live in a trailer. I have seen this woman and another man walk out of my sons room as well.

So it's possible she's telling you the truth, ask her questions. Many children can see them, ghost or spirits, only a handful will see them when they age, like me. My dog came back the day I put her in the ground, she was a beagle, and she loved chasing bunnies. My grandmothers dog came back too.
