What Is Intuition Training for Kids?
Intuition training helps children learn to recognise and trust their instincts, sometimes described as “trusting your gut” or using a “sixth sense”.
At Shichida, intuition education is taught through fun, structured activities that help children become more aware of their feelings, surroundings and sensory experiences.
Children may take part in activities such as:
- Choosing between equally likely options
- Finding a hidden object using intuitive sensing
- Interpreting touch, texture or feeling-based clues
- Using calm focus, imagery and visualisation
These activities help children develop perceptive abilities, confidence, self-awareness and independent decision-making.
Why Intuition Training Is Important for Children
Intuition is not about guessing. It is about helping children become more aware of what they notice, feel and understand.
When children practise intuition training from an early age, they may begin to:
- Trust their instincts with greater confidence
- Become more aware of their surroundings
- Interpret feelings and sensory signals more clearly
- Make decisions with more independence
- Build empathy and understand others more easily
- Develop confidence across learning, relationships and everyday situations
At Shichida, intuition training is part of our whole-brain learning approach, supporting not only thinking skills but also confidence, self-awareness and emotional development.
What Intuition Skills Will Your Child Develop
Intuition training supports a range of cognitive and emotional skills that help children understand and respond to the world around them.
Children learn to interpret sensory experiences and recognise intuitive signals, strengthening awareness and intuitive thinking.
Trusting Instincts and Decision-Making
Your child develops the ability to trust their instincts and respond to intuitive signals with confidence, supporting faster and more independent decision-making.
Perceptive Abilities and Awareness
Children strengthen perceptive abilities, helping them recognise subtle cues, patterns and environmental signals, improving awareness and understanding.
Emotional Awareness and Intuitive Thinking
Intuition training helps children interpret their feelings, understand others and develop empathy, supporting intuitive thinking and confidence in social situations.
These skills work together to support critical and intuitive thinking, confidence, strong self-esteem and independent decision-making.

What Happens in a Shichida Intuition Training Class
Intuition training is woven into Shichida classes through short, engaging activities that feel like play.
Children may be invited to:
- Choose from three equally likely options
- Find a toy hidden in one of three identical boxes
- Respond to texture, touch or sensory-based activities
- Use imagery, mindfulness or visualisation
- Practise calm focus before making a choice
- Build confidence by learning to trust their first impression
These intuition-based activities are not about getting every answer right. They help children become more aware of their inner guidance, strengthen their perceptive abilities, and feel more confident in their own judgement. Children learn how to handle the disappointment of getting it wrong sometimes. Over time, this builds resilience and a growth mindset.
Intuition also supports skills used in speed reading, such as fast visual recognition, focus and quick information processing.
