How would you know if you had an Indigo child in your family?

These are some of the traits that you may already have experienced with your child.

• They are obsessive in their ways – they thrive on routine, they find change very difficult to handle, they get frightened.
• They are very insecure, they worry about everything however large or small – they find it difficult to deal with other children sometimes. Other children find them different and are jealous of them. They can be very naïve.
• They have a low concentration span and are sometimes disruptive in school. On the other hand they have a very high IQ and very often schools cannot cope with a child who is very bright but also disruptive. In the eyes of the school the two do not go together.

The Education Authority is teaching in ways that Indigo Children do not understand. These children feel like square pegs in round holes – they simply do not fit in. These children know they are different, they don’t need to be told that, but they do need to be told why they are different. They cannot merely ‘fit in; to our schools as they are being made to do at the moment. Only when we try to understand them and listen to what it is they have to say to us, will they begin to benefit.

Indigo children do not like high noise levels, they will cover their ears. Very often they have speech problems, eyes problems and ear problems from a very young age which if not detected early on can hold them back with their learning.

Many Indigo children are diagnosed with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) – Dyslexic – Asperger’s syndrome – along the Autistic scale. Very often they are referred to a psychologist or psychiatrist and this is not the way forward for these children.

Unfortunately sometimes parents and teachers do not understand these children. As they grow older, if they are not understood they start to self medicate with drink and drugs and can even get into trouble with the police for petty crime etc – some unfortunately commit suicide. In time some commit murder (as we are now seeing now with teenagers).

Being seen as being different by other children can lead to bullying in school and bullying at home by their parents and other family members. All that these children ask for is to be treated with respect. They very often get blamed for something they have not done; it is easier for the parents to put blame onto them because they never complain, they just take the responsibility. This means that any brothers or sisters get away with things that they have done and never owned up to. Indigo children get blamed in school for things that they have not done whilst their classmates get away without the teachers knowing – they know that these children will not tell on them. They are such unconditional loving children.

Sometimes Indigo children are the class clown. They so much want to be accepted and understood by others as normal human beings which of course they are.

Indigos are here to teach us all how we should behave towards each other – with unconditional love. Parents and teachers alike will learn so much from these children. Embrace them, help them and try to understand them. In doing so these children will share with you their inner most thoughts and fears.

Indigo children are very often creative such as drawing, painting and musical. Some are entertainers wanting to please all of the time – as children do.

These children tell their parents who they used to be. They tell their parents of the spiritual children and people that they see. Unfortunately they are not always believed and are dismissed and told ‘don’t be silly’. I can assure you that they are not being silly. These children are very spiritual beings and have had many earthly lifetimes. These children pick their own parents to be able to learn certain lessons, gain experience, develop certain aspects of their character and work on strengthening their weaker areas of spiritual development. Remember you as parents are learning also from these children.

Some Indigos are not as fortunate and are with families that do not understand them or their needs at all. Many are being abused in many ways, even being put into isolation by their family and friends. No one understands them; these children are leading a very bad life.

Sometimes Indigos have screaming temper tantrums. They sometimes feel lonely and not a part of a group- that hurts! Help them to see that the difference is valuable. Ask them would they like to be like everyone else – their answer would more likely be no. The labels that are put on these children makes them believe that they are different in a bad way.

The word indigo is merely the colour of their aura and a far better label than all of the other labels that they are given throughout their lives.

Let us help these children to fulfil what it is that they came on the earth plane to do. Treat them with the love and respect that they deserve and they will reward you tenfold.
