Indigos process their emotions differently than non Indigos because they have high self-esteem and strong integrity. They can read you like an open book and quickly notice and neutralize any hidden agendas or attempts to manipulate them, however subtly. In fact, they can see your hidden agendas even if you can’t! They have inherently strong determination to work things through for themselves and only want outside guidance if it’s presented to them with respect and within a format of true choice. They prefer to work situations out for themselves.

They come in with their intentions and gifts easily identifiable from birth. They can suck up knowledge like a sponge, especially if they like or are drawn to a subject, which makes them very advanced in their areas of interest. Experiencing life helps them learn best, so they create the experiences they need to help them with their current problem or area where they need to grow. They respond best when treated like a respected adult.

Not only are they masters at intuitively picking up on hidden agendas or motives, but they are equally masterful at turning those agendas back onto the people using them, especially their parents. Psychological “button pushing” often causes them to be labeled as nonconformists. If they notice that there is a hidden motive behind your attempt to get them to do something, they will resist strongly and feel perfectly justified in doing so. From their point of view, if you’re not doing your work in the relationship, they can challenge you on it.

When I called them good “button pushers” what I really meant is that they’re working with us adults to help us recognize where we are holding and using old, subtle patterns to manipulate them, which used to work but will no longer. So if you are constantly getting resistance from an Indigo, check yourself first. They may be holding up a mirror for you, or be asking you, in a nonconformist way, for help in finding new boundaries, fine-tuning their own skills or talents, or going to the next level of growth.

Indigos have innate healing abilities that are usually already active; however, they may not know that they are using them! The most spectacular thing I observed was how they formed groups, adjusting and spacing themselves, especially around another child who might have been sick or upset — sitting and blending their energy field with that child’s. Most often, they paired up one on one, but sometimes they formed groups and sat in either a triangular or diamond-shaped pattern. It wasn’t done in an obvious way, but very subtly. When finished, they were off to something else.

It was amazing. They just did it, but they didn’t want to discuss it; in some cases, they weren’t even consciously aware of what they were doing or why! It was so natural to them that if a child needed something from the Indigos, they just went and sat next to them for a while, not even necessarily talking, and then they separated.

But the main point that we, parents are to know is that every child is to feel safe… Safety is very important, because all children need to feel safe to fully explore their universe. For Indigos, safety means that it’s okay to do things differently! Giving everyone this space is the best thing we can do for children and for ourselves.

So, be careful with your super-kids!!!

A good way to “test” yourself is to answer the following:

Are you always searching for your greater purpose in life but feel like the world isn’t set up for your kind?

Do you sometimes feel wise beyond your years?

Do you have trouble conforming to the ways of society?

Do you feel out of place in today’s world?

Do you perceive the world very differently than most people around you?

Do you have strong intuition about certain things that most others do not?

Do you often feel misunderstood when you try to talk to people about what’s real?

Are you a truth seeker?

Do you feel like you were born to accomplish a special mission in life?

Do you feel isolated and alone in your beliefs?

Misunderstood by family?

Do you feel anti-social unless you are with people of like mind?

Are you emotionally sensitive?

Did you have a difficult childhood?

Do you often feel disempowered by too much authority?

If you can answer yes to many of these questions,
then you are most likely an Indigo.

• The color of Indigo was a deep, rich dark blue
• Sometimes referred to as Royal Blue with its obvious connotation
• The symbolic meaning of the color indigo was power, importance and wealth
• Indigo with the color blue has a Biblical meaning symbolizing heavenly grace. The Virgin Mary is often depicted wearing indigo or blue clothing
• The source was the indigo plants and the dye was imported from India – extremely expensive and used to produce the color indigo
• Indigo dye held colors fast and this rich color was worn by the wealthy and not to be confused with the color blue which was produced by using cheap blue dye obtained from woad
• People who were allowed to wear the color indigo during the Elizabethan era, as decreed by the English Sumptuary Laws, were Royalty, Nobility and members of the Council

• Don’t debase your child! It does not matter where you do it in the crowd or tete-a-tete. Indigo hate humiliation, and, mos def, they’ll avenge you. It happened that these children asked for help to the authorities, law enforcement, and court.

• Do not deceive your child! It’s simply impossible to deceive people with such intuition. It seems that they see through. Try to speak honestly with your child about everything, he wants to hear, if you don’t want to make the gap, between you and the child.

• Give him the freedom of choice. If your child wants to wear very broad pants and do navel piercing? Let it be, but remind him/her, that he/she can wash and iron his clothes by himself, and any punctures on the body can bring an infection and serious illness.

• Don’t mould the requests into orders! Respect your indigo. They hate authoritarianism and dictatorship and will definitely find a way to evade duties. Ask about something gently, but persistently and motivate the request of real and not fictitious reasons.

• Don’t inflict your views upon your child. He not only doesn’t care about your views, but even feels rejection. Respect him & be his friend. And all the time, remind yourself that this person belongs to a new children generation.

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 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.

Some people say that the Indigo Children can work wonders – like to cause the rain or stop the storm, others – that these children are special & gifted, while others believe that there are the majority of unique children and every loving parent may find in his child traits inherent in the Indigo children. And what’s interesting – all of them are right.
