Kids are everything. Their big hearts, tiny heads and overwhelming cuteness are something capable of melting the coldest souls.
But when you’re a parent to one, or two, or a few, things are a little different. The little ones suddenly turn into daredevils, with crazy adventures that never end without consequences and rules that exist only to be broken. In the world of parenting, nothing seems off limits even when the term itself is basically setting the limits in order to raise a great human being capable of achieving big things and making their parents proud. And sometimes, things get creepy.
So today we’re diving deep into the moments when kids really spook their parents. A doll lamp the kid made at his after class that looks like a prop from a Saw movie? Check. A drawing of an imaginary friend? A-ha. A nanny cam record showing a kid dancing in the middle of the night? Yup. Well, at least their lives are far from boring! Psst! After you’re done reading this article, be sure to check out our previous one with kids saying the creepiest things that we do not recommend reading alone.

We asked some of our "favorite" kids?? Hahah! Poor other kids were left out. Weird school
The details.. Sometimes the little girl is scared but wants her imaginary mum to always come back. This mum is 14 with 2 babies in her belly and won't ever have a birthday. I think this real and it is a young girl who was pregnant and died who visits her at night.
She is 14 but can never have a birthday. I laughed way to hard at this!
The person had died 14 years and will never grow older. I think.

This has so many layers. Ok ok, hear me out: she’s 14, pregnant with twins, as well as supposedly dead since she cannot age. -I’m genuinely interested.
I'd be calling the local paranormal investigators asap. Or at least a medium. CREEEEEEPY
I think a three year old on the cusp of their fourth birthday could certainly say that...one that JUST turned three? Not so much. Completely different worlds developmentally.

the kid that's her imaginary MUM? I'm guessing (American English speaker here) that the kid means Mom. Somehow....that makes it even more terrifying than an imaginary friend.
I'm probably concerned about the wrong thing here, but are they freely admitting to what I can only assume is parents that they have favorites? And if your child isnt there, well then they just aren't worth of being a favorite 😅
What In The Name Of Sanity Is This?
Kids will be kids. Sometimes weird, impolite, and in your face, other times goofy, hilarious and adorable. But what if a child has been acting weird lately? When should parents get alarmed? To find out about that and other aspects of parenting, Bored Panda spoke with Anisa Lewis, a positive parenting coach who was happy to share some insights.
If a child suddenly starts acting out of the norm, parents should trust their judgment. “It really depends on your child and what it is that they are doing that has alerted you to their different behavior. You know your child best and if you are concerned in any way and the behavior has not changed for the better then it is always best to intervene.”

Why Wasn't The Door Locked?
“Depending on the age of the child and the behavior, you might wish to start with open-ended questions ‘What is going on for you?’ ‘How can I help?’ as a starting point,” Anisa explained and added that more serious behavior changes may need a different approach.

Speaking of parenting, we have all heard about quality time with a child, something so many parents feel confused about. So we asked Anisa what role it plays in a child's development and how parents can have that quality time. “Quality time with your child is important no matter their age. Setting yourself up with a routine of quality time with your child when they are little will help to set you up for success as they grow older and their needs change,” she said.

Kinda Creepy Ngl
Anisa explained that parents often believe that they need to give their child hours and hours of time. In fact, that’s not true since “it is the quality of time over the quantity that really matters.” It may be that “ten minutes of focused attention (yes, phones away), leaning into something your child wants to do or being available at the same time every day to chat is just as effective as hours of time spent with them where you are distracted, on your phones or juggling many aspects of your day.”

On the other hand, everyone knows that some parents and children never grow close together. This lack of connection follows them to their adulthood, and rebuilding it may be hard, yet possible. “There is always a possibility to change this when they grow up. It is about communication, listening and forgiveness.”
Anisa also said that reasons that parents and kids never become close could be due to so many reasons: trauma, personalities, life stresses and circumstances. “Healing is two-sided and both need to be willing to do the work in order to change the foundation and boundaries of their relationship,” she concluded.

That was entertaining for me. For the most part. I used to be a very weird kid at 3 or 4 years old I developed an obsession with cemeteries. I would make my grandpa take me to different ones so I could look at the headstones. But what I liked is when he would read them to me and I would make up stories about them to myself trying to imagine what their lives must have been like. I still don't know how I became obsessed but I still love graveyards and the peacefulness.
I was a weird kid too. We had these curtains that we took down one day so i took all my barbie dolls and tied them so they were hanging upside down from the rod. It freaked evryone out lol
Lol! My sister's friend once did a very similar thing, I was in the garden and looked up to see my poor barbie dangling from the balcony rail 😬. Freaked me at the time but I get it now lol he and my sis were winding me up 😄 Do u remember why you tied them to the rod, or it was just a fun idea?

Looks like some of these kids are watching horror movies. That's a shame.
I was just about to say this. Mental illness is (sometimes) created when their little minds can't process the horrific imagery. It distorts them. Poor little mites.

So I used to believe in ghost’s so one day (I was about 4 or 5) I went in my basement,then a few hours later I go upstairs for a snack (I loved and still love Cheezits) and I said “mommy I need 2 bags of cheezits” and she said “no just one” and I said but I want to give one to the man in the walls” mom always freaks out when I remind her about it
As a kid. I used to sleepwalk. Mom told me that when I was around eight I went into her room while she was sleeping. She woke up with me standing over her counting one, two, three....
I'm totally confused. I'm almost 80 and my kids are in the 50s. So children of now are completely outside my expectations. Where do they get it? From TV? or what else. I'm not being critical just surprised. ps I loved it
I'd like to know what kind of garbage you people are letting your children watch?
I really hate it when kids tell their parents there's someone/something in their room, or as one of these, a man in the basement talking to the kid but mom says "there's no one there". Kids are weird yes, but growing up in two houses that were occupied by the non living I experienced sheer terror for years in the first, just off the norm incidents in the second. Please, believe your kids...there's far more out there than most adults are willing to see...or...admit.✌
I think you all should visit the same child psychiatris/therapist. There’s a theme here…
This is too creepy for me. Lull me back into the blissful world of never even would imagine something like this!
when I was about four/three my Mom said I came up to her randomly saying "Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom," but nothing else and she just said "what?" the first "Mom" and then I would run off giggling.
