Indigo children – what does this mean, signs, how to identify and educate them
Indigo child – sounds beautiful and mysterious. For the first time they started talking about such children in the USA in the 80s, over time this concept began to sound in Russia as well. But what does this mean – indigo children, what is their peculiarity and how to communicate with them, not everyone knows. Therefore, it is worth dwelling on this topic in more detail.
The main feature that distinguishes the indigo baby is his unshakable self-confidence and self-worth. They seem to be sure that they are different from other people, they are special. Such kids behave as if they carry some kind of knowledge inaccessible to others. They reason like adults, which causes both admiration and respect.
If you know what it means – indigo children, it is easier to find an approach to them.
But this self-confidence also has a downside. They consider themselves to be so impeccable that when someone evaluates them differently or does not accept their “royalty”, they are lost. The more such collisions of a person of high self-esteem with reality, the more he withdraws into himself. Therefore, another trait of an indigo child is loneliness. They do not recognize any authorities and rules.
How to tell if your child is indigo
Take a closer look at your baby. If from an early age you notice such qualities in him, most likely, he is the “special” indigo:
- “Regal” behavior – the baby in every possible way emphasizes that he is higher, more important than others. He wonders if anyone disagrees with this.
- He does not take anyone for authority and is guided exclusively by his own ideas about what and how to do.
- He does not like to follow conservative systems and go the beaten path. Breaks traditions and rules.
- Does not communicate with those who are not the same as him. Prefers loneliness if there are no people with the same worldview nearby.
There are other character traits as well. But these are the main ones. Such a child is immediately noticeable, he stands out among his peers.
How to raise such children
Respect for the individual, freedom of choice and creativity are three pillars on which indigo education should be built. You cannot humiliate him and force him to do something in an orderly manner.
If you need to achieve something from the baby, explain to him on an equal footing what you want and why it should be so. Listen to his point of view. Give him the opportunity to make his choice and even make a mistake and see the consequences of his action.
Despite the fact that indigos require to be treated like adults, they are not yet ready to fulfill adult responsibilities and take responsibility for their decisions.
Like all children, they need the opportunity to play, move and apply their irrepressible creative energy to something. Give them that opportunity.
If you are ready to build partnerships in the family and listen to the opinion of the little person, he will open the door for you to a new unusual world. Indigos perceive and appreciate the world in a different way, and with pleasure they will share their wisdom with you.
