Sacred Mtn Indigo Children

She is very likeable.
He acts like an adult peer, doesn't hesitate to communicate what he needs, and may be quite self-reliant.
She is highly intuitive, creative, intelligent, and full of energy! She can read feelings, but may not understand them. She is very good at knowing when someone is lying to her!
He may be diagnosed with ADD or ADHD because, as a right brained/kinesthetic learner, he needs to keep moving to keep his brain switched on.
Self-worth is usually high and she might even tell the parents "who she is."
He has difficulty respecting absolute authority without being given explanations or choices. Negotiation is key.
She seems to "get it" before others do.
He gets frustrated with systems that continue just because "it's always been that way" and don't require creative thought.
She often sees a better way of doing things, both at home and in school, which makes her seem like a "system buster" (nonconforming to any system).
He may seem mature beyond his years or like a "wise old soul" with a sense of his life purpose.
She is more often in the leader role and has a strong sense of herself and her abilities.
He is prone to food allergies, sensitive to environmental toxins and the emotions of others, and may display the ability to communicate telepathically, sense energy, or pick up information intuitively.
She may be more spiritually minded, talking about angels or displaying an understanding of spiritual principles which is beyond her years.

As with any child, Indigos may display less-than-inspiring behavior when they feel chronically unsupported or hurt. Additionally, they may become negative if they are reacting to foods, toxins or other's emotions, and if their energy is "scrambled". Challenging behavior or internal experiences in these cases may include:

He feels uneasy "in his own skin". He seem uncomfortable or unhappy in life.
She is irritable and reactive to others' moods, world events, food, or the environment in general.
He experiences high anxiety, stress, or deep emotional pain.
She does poorly in school.
He is overly aggressive or withdrawn when with peers.
She acts out or seems to not fit in.
He seems to play out his difficulty and have difficulty knowing right from wrong.
She does not know how to cope with her feelings.
He seems antisocial unless he is with others like him. If there are no others of like consciousness around him, he may turn inward, feeling like no other human understands him. School is often extremely difficult for him socially.
She will not respond to "guilt" discipline ("Wait till your father gets home and finds out what you did") or most traditional forms of setting limits.

Parenting such children can feel confusing and frustrating. You may feel inadequate as a parent. Or you may recognize your child's special talents and want to support their growth while not knowing how.
