Here
are ten attributes that best describe this new kind of child, the
Indigo Child.
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 them, 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.
And ... just in case you heard otherwise from other "indigo"
sources, the designated word "Indigo" has nothing to do
with the color of an aura! It is the result of scientific observations
by a woman who has the brain disorder called synesthesia.
