As
a summary, here are the ten attributes that best
describe this new kind of child, the Indigo Child.
They
come into the world with a feeling of royalty, and they
often act like it.
They
have a feeling of "deserving to be here," and
are surprised when others don't share that sense.
Self-worth
is not a big issue. They often tell parents "who they
are."
They
have difficulty with absolute authority, i.e., 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, e.g.,
"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.
