What does "Indigo" Child mean?

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."

However, there are other traits that researchers, psychologists and others interested in the Indigo Child phenomenon can help classify Indigo Children better:

They are as follows:

~ Indigo Children appear as if 'they are above' things - "Act Like Royalty"- This does not indicate the child makes a crown for themselves while demanding a cushioned, very plush, arm chair. These children appear to have a vision for themselves, a purpose, usually highly intelligent because they somehow know they are here for a reason. They may not understand the reason, and when asked, they could seem puzzled or say 'they don't know'. But the feelings they do have is one that they are important. It's puzzling to see how many speak as though they have 'been there and done that! Speaking from experiences they have not yet 'experienced' in their lives.

~Indigo Children display a sense of 'needing to be here', 'deserving to be here'. They are confused over anyone who doesn't see the world that way. Indigo Children just know they are here for a reason and need to sort out that reason.

~Self Esteem/Self Worth for Indigo children is not an issue. Adults can sometimes confuse their child as having 'low self worth' or 'self esteem' because they don't engage in "x" "y" or "z". No, these titles, or judgements are not in their vocabulary. If they seem scattered or seemingly don't engage as other children do, is because they feel different and recognize this fact. Usually, they will figure themselves out before anyone else does!

~Indigo Children have great difficulty with controlling, authoritative kinds of individuals. The Indigo Child needs to be able to explore, experience the world, choices, without being restricted. They don't understand restrictions, some as they have grown, can also see how society restricts others by way of blocks/fear control. They are not difficult, but do not understand the controlling needs of others. It just doesn't make sense to them. Life is filled with positivity and awe! If taught early on, the Indigo Child understands they have choices to make and will respect authority more when they understand the 'why'. Being allowed to make the choices is of most importance to Indigo Children

~Indigo Children may not do certain things - sometimes showing impatience! The mundane chores is something most do not have patience for. I knew of one Indigo Child who could not stand in line whether at a grocery store or the amusement park! They simply have other things they should be doing toward that which they are seeking - like 'what are they here for?'

~Systems that don't allow for creative thought! The same old ritual will not work for them! They are very intelligent and highly creative individuals! They are looking at new ways to do things and if we pay attention, maybe we can get some extra tips! No, they aren't anarchists, but they are seeing with fresh eyes and a creative mind and would love to see change. Any change! They will adopt a newer fresh approach, especially if they can finish a task with greater ease. They see beyond the norm, they are 'outside' the box thinkers!

~Indigo Children get along very well with children who are like them. They may appear anti-social but this is only because of the way they see the world - even though they can't express this fact. Many turn inward, feeling like they are not understood, or even suffer from aloneness/depression. School is often difficult for them for this reason and they will appear as loners. They are unconsciously seeking to better themselves and the world. So being asked to play dolls or cars does not excite them. They do find it hard to express themselves and it takes a lot of energy to do so if they try. But again most are confused about the 'reason' why they are here and waste no time trying to figure it all out!

~They don't understand the 'laying of the guilt' They would rather hear an explanation of why they shouldn't do 'a', 'b', or 'c'. They need to communicate, to understand their world better. So, the tactic of putting guilt or fear upon them is not so effective. They will go into their own imaginary world once more.

~Indigo Children are straight forward and not shy - They know what they want, when they want it. It's also true that most will need something not yet understanding the reason behind why they need it! The best that you can do is listen to the reason and try to leave our the old childhood tendencies being the answer. Remember, they love to learn and love to be heard.

DO YOU HAVE A STORY TO TELL?

I am currently researching and putting together amazing stories on any child who can remember where they were before they entered this world (some call it Heaven), what they did and where they lived before coming here ( Past Lives), those who communicate with animals or those who find animals being attracted to them!. Those children who have touched the lives of others: healing work, or who have imparted amazing insights whether related spiritually or not.

My desire is to make many more people understand these children and how very much the world is shifting and changing. I want many more to remember what life is truly about and how to live a more fulfilling life! To rekindle the inner peace and love of the world that every child understands. My book is being filled with thought provoking, memorable, funny stories of children who want and are making a difference. To hear their voice, their creative outpouring, their vision of today and the future.

Would you have any stories you'd like to submit to me?

I look forward to hearing from you!
