Indigo Children- Do You Have One?

I had never heard of Indigo children five years ago. But I kept seeing these kids in my parenting classes that seem to shine. They were always active and full of themselves. Very hard to handle for parents and irritating to other adults. But then I started to see a pattern with some of the children and realized that not only did I know Indigo Children, but I had one.

According to Lee Carroll and Jan Tober authors of a book published by Hay House; "An Indigo Child is one who displays a new and unusual set of psychological attributes and shows a pattern of behavior generally undocumented before."

What does that mean to parents, day care providers and teachers who are trying to deal with these kids?

It means that discipline, reasoning and rigid rules that may have worked on other children will probably not work with Indigos. We need to shift our parenting styles and expectations in order to allow them to function well in a society that not only does not understand their actions, but wants to drug them.

The book goes on to list the common traits of Indigo children. I have adapted these with my own observations.

They come into the world with a feeling of royalty.
They have a sense of being here for a reason.
Full of self worth and not much humility.
Have difficulty with absolute authority or rigid rules.
Have agreat deal of difficulty waiting in line or taking turns.
Easily frustrated with systems that do not allow for creative thought and input.
Often have a much better idea on how things should be done.
May appear anti-social. School may be difficult for them socially. Would rather turn inward.
Will not be manipulated by guilt or threats.
If you ask them what they really want, they will tell you.

If your child has a number of these characteristics, you will want to research further on this subject. Our family found that old parenting styles were not going to work with an Indigo child.

Indigo Children Test

Indigo children are also known as indigo crystal children or blue children, and they have a number of characteristics that set them a little bit apart from the crowd. For the most part, an indigo kid tends to have traits that are quite similar to children who have ADD or ADHD. In fact, the rise of cases in Attention Deficit Disorder and Attention Deficit Disorder are accounted for as being the greater numbers of Indigo children born on earth.

For the most part indigo children are identified by a channeled or a psychic who can see auras and identify them as having the distinctive deep inky purple twilight colored aura. These creatures are the beginnings of an evolution towards a more sophisticated race of humans that can communicate telepathically with each other. In theory, they are here to save the world from what civilization has wrought and we are supposed to protect them from harm.

Otherwise, indigo children's characteristics include such traits as high sensitivity, high irritability, and compulsions that are difficult for other people to understand. These children may also be highly obsessive and over focused on details.

They tend to have all of the indigo crystal children traits that mimic ADD, including the distractibility component. The child may not be able to focus on just one thing and get frustrated fast. If not, left to follow his or own plan for the day, the strong willed indigo kid then becomes disruptive to a class.

Most prominent among the indigo children traits is the feeling that the child is somehow "trapped in visual" space and more oriented towards television screens and geometry than they are towards the written word.

There are no schools for indigo children, so they may not thrive in an educational environment and get low grades even though their parents may suspect that they are actually very smart. Most parents don't ever even start to diagnose their children as being indigo kids until they take an indigo children quiz or watch indigo children movies. Navigating any educational system with an indigo kid can be frustrating, especially if the kid is a little psychic and "seeing things." It may sometimes be hard to convince educational experts that your child does not belong in a special needs school.

If you have ever asked yourself "am I an indigo child," it is not likely if you are born before 1970, although a few indigo individuals may have been born in the sixties. These people for the most part were never recognized as blue children and a consequence led difficult lives where they were ahead of their time and misunderstood.
