How can we collect children's past life stories?

We can also try to verify by interviewing the people around the child. If the child has made statements about a past life and there are people in the family or community who can attest to the child having no prior knowledge of certain things but suddenly showing knowledge related to the past life claim, it could be a piece of evidence. But again, it's not foolproof. Memory can be unreliable, and sometimes children might pick up on things adults say without the adults realizing it. So, in conclusion, while there are some methods to attempt verification, it remains a very challenging and uncertain area.

One way is through gentle questioning. For example, asking about their favorite places from a long time ago. Another is looking at old photos together, which might trigger memories. Also, creating a calm and safe environment where they feel comfortable sharing.

From children's past life stories, we may learn about family relationships that carried over. Some children describe having the same family members in past lives. Also, it can show how experiences shape a person, as they might recall past traumas or joys that seem to influence their present behavior.

One way is through interviews. Veterans can be interviewed either in person or via video calls. Another way is to encourage them to write their own stories and submit them to relevant organizations or archives. Community events can also be organized where veterans can share their stories publicly.

One way to collect a group of life story is through interviews. We can talk to people directly, ask them about their lives, and record their answers. Another way is to use surveys. We can design questions related to different aspects of life and ask a group of people to fill them out.

Researchers can collaborate with schools or daycare centers. Teachers and caregivers can provide information about the bedtime stories they share with the children in their care. They can note down details like the origin of the stories (local or from other cultures), the emotions the stories evoke in the children, and the educational value of the stories. By compiling all this data, accurate statistics on bedtime stories can be obtained.

It's hard to say they are completely reliable. Children have vivid imaginations, and it could be that they are just making up stories. But some details they provide are so specific that it makes one wonder.

Doing hands - on activities is a good way. For example, if teaching about the life cycle of a chicken, you can get some plastic eggs, toy chicks and a small hen model. Let the children act out the different parts of the cycle. This makes it more engaging and easier for them to remember.

They help in understanding a child's development. By knowing about their past experiences, we can see how they have grown and changed over time. For example, if a child had a difficult time making friends in the past, but now is very sociable, it shows their progress.

On one hand, children might mix up dreams or things they've heard with real memories. But on the other hand, there are cases where children recall specific details about places or people that they couldn't have known otherwise. So, it's not easy to simply say they are reliable or not.
