Is your child an Indigo ?
In
summary, the ten attributes of the Indigo Child are best described and
adapted from: The Indigo Children: The New Kids Have Arrived written
by Lee Carroll and Jan Tober
They come into the world with a feeling of royalty (and often act like
it)
They have a feeling of "deserving to be here," and are
surprised when others don't share that.
Self-worth is not a big issue. They often tell the parents "who
they are."
They have difficulty with absolute authority (authority without
explanation or choice).
They simply will not do certain things; for example, waiting in line
is difficult for them.
They get frustrated with systems that are ritually oriented and don't
require creative thought.
They often see better ways of doing things, both at home and in
school, which makes them seem like "system busters"
(nonconforming to any system).
They seem antisocial unless they are with their own kind. If there are
no others of like consciousness around him or her, they often turn inward;
feeling like no other human understands them. School is often extremely
difficult for them socially.
They will not respond to "guilt" discipline ("Wait till
your father gets home and finds out what you did").
They are not shy in letting you know what they need.
