What is an Indigo Child? And why do we call them Indigo?
First, the definition:
An Indigo child is one who displays a new and unusual
set of psychological attributes and shows a pattern of behavior generally
undocumented before. This pattern has common unique factors that suggest
that those who interact with them (parents, in particular) change their treatment and
upbringing of them in order to achieve balance.
To ignore these new
patterns is to potentially create imbalance and frustration in the mind of
this precious new life...
The ten most common traits of Indigo Children:
1. They come into the world with a feeling of royalty
(and often act like it).
2. They have a feeling of "deserving to be
here", and are surprised when others don't share that.
3. Self-worth is not a big issue. They often tell the
parents "who they are".
4. They have difficulty with absolute authority
(authority without explanation or choice).
5. They simply will not do certain things; for example - waiting in line is difficult for them.
6. They get frustrated with systems that are
ritual-oriented and don't require creative thought.
7. They often see better ways of doing things, both at
home and at school, which makes them seem like "system busters"
- (nonconforming to any system).
8. They seem antisocial unless they are with their own
kind. If there are no others of like consciousness around them they often
let no other human understand them. School is extremely difficult for them
socially.
9. They will not respond to "guilt" discipline
- ("Wait till your father gets home and finds out what you
did").
10. They are not shy in letting you know what they need.
