Indigo Children

N.,

I have heard of this and also believe my oldest daughter (6) has some of the qualities associated with indigo children. After doing some research online, I actually found that she more accurately fits the definition of a crystal child. You may also want to look up crystal children. As far as support, I just believe what she tells me and accept the fact that she "talks" to other beings and can see things that most of us cannot. Her great grandmother can "see" and even works for police departments all over the US, so maybe my daughter could make a career out of helping others with her abilities. Good Luck, just let her talk to you and tell her that she can talk to you about anything, that you trust her, and don't ever laugh or say she is lying about anything she really believes she saw! Also, you may want to contact an Astrologer, as they have great insight based on the time she was born.

We were told by a lady at a restaurant who is apparently an "expert" that our 2 children are "indigo children." Indigo refers to the color of the aura (sp?). I looked it up when we got home and saw that these "indigo children" have started being born since the mid 70's. so this isn't a new term.
Personally, I don't believe in all that mumble. Really? Can you really see my child's color around her/him? Whatever. If you feel your kid is talented or gifted, that's one thing. But to say that he/she is so because of her aura is quite another.
If you think you child is special (but aren't all kids?), what are you going to do about it? Whether it is based on her God given talents or some made up jumble about the color around her, you will probably foster it in the same way any mother would. You will make sure she has the best education, is given ample opportunity to develop her talents and you will give her all the love and support she needs based on her as a human being-not based on her aura.

My mother-in-law gave me the book Indigo Children after listening to some of my challenges with my son, about 10 years ago I think. I'm not sure what I did with the book, but you can probably find it on Amazon. She found a lot of comfort in reading the book because her youngest had/has many challenges, so it was very helpful for her to understand him better. After reading the book I didn't feel that it really applied to my son, but it did give me some great ideas for him.

i tend to believe that the idea of "special abilities" should be separated from the idea of a "spirited child". all children are special in their own way. if you have a child that is energetic, sensitive to stimuli, etc. i would say, get the book "raising your spirited child" it is a positive way to look at traits that most people want to spin negatively, or give a diagnosis to explain away ( adhd or sensory processsing disorder). it did wonders for us. we did get a diagnosis of spd for our son, so that the teachers in school must modify certain things to help him. we still don't treat it as a disorder, but things must be modified from the "norm" for these children to help them be more comfortable. i suggest you look up info on spd, also get the book. those of us parents blessed to have these vivacious, sensitive kiddos are blessed, but they are hard work! good luck.

Doreen Virture writes really good books about the Indigo and, Crystle and Rainbow children. The newest children are the Crystle and Rainbow. You should read her books. VERY GOOD

There's a book out called "The Indigo Child", also a documentary/story type dvd and lots of info on the internet. If you do indeed have an Indigo (and there are more and more of them) you'll need to throw out the "Because I'm the Mom and I said so" book and learn a parenting style based more on being fully present in the moment and fostering your daughter's own self-empowerment and decision making... then again - that's a good parenting strategy anyway! ;) enJoy!
