Any advice on raising an astral child with Loki? My son has grown to 5 years in 4 days. He's part dryad on my side so slightly different from the average Jötun/deity/human mix. I haven't really mastered projection so a lot of my interactions are in this realm.
Some of it is advice I would give any parent: empathy and compassion. Don’t tell the child they’re “bad” or “a lot of work”. No child is bad, and no child should feel unwanted or like a burden. Love them, play with them often. Like Loki they will have a lot of energy and want to play a lot. If you need help, remember you’re not alone and neither is Loki. They have lots of older siblings to help look after them and play with them, like Fenrisulfr. Demigods and fae can grow quite fast—it can be startling, but it also means they’re a bit more independent sooner and can watch out more for themselves. That doesn’t mean they don’t need supervision though! They’re still children, just children with magic/powers. Who knows what mischief they’d get into it they weren’t being watched! 😂 my fae astral species needed blood alongside their breastfeeding, although I’m not sure about yours. I can’t always get away, so I leave off a little sliver of my consciousness that can stay with them and tend to them. As far as dietary needs, they should be able to eat what you eat. If there’s something specific that’s bothering you, I’m open for more questions.
