In the case of younger children, there is usually no question about whether or not the child is telling the truth. *From what little reading I have done about young children and past lives, they tend to recall and know things that are impossible for them to know. (e.g. names, foreign places, tiny details about a person's life) I did read one case where a three year old girl kept talking about a village in India and sparked the parents' interest. *They did some research and evidentally the child's recollection developed further - they ended up going to the village and speaking with the family of the deceased the child claimed to be, and the child could answer in the family's native tongue questions about the individual's past that only he/she would know. *I found this very interesting!
That is very interesting. And it's true that very young children tend not to lie (but you have to get them before they start acting up )
