Let's talk about Indigo Children
I am really interested in what your thoughts are about the Indigo Children. It has been said that the children being born these days are on a more highly developed plain. This apparently is why children are having a much harder time with violence, abuse and things are damaging them deeper than they did children of earlier generations.
Is this true or an excuse for poor choices? Should we be educating these children differently? |

Re: Let's talk about Indigo Children
OK let's talk. Never heard of 'em! Did a quick Wiki and first impressions are not good...
"Skeptics point out that the Indigo movement seems to lack verifiable evidence to support its claims. Because of this, it is considered pseudoscience. Although some of the authors of Indigo literature have degrees in psychology, Indigo Child is not a recognized term in the field of psychology." s. PS Perhaps I should point out that when I see the words "New Age" I kind of switch off... |

Re: Let's talk about Indigo Children
interesting... Here is my perception, I have met quick a few educators who follow this theory. My impression was not great becasue the children were often out of control, rude and aggressive. I think that possibly this could fall into the same category as unschooling.
Sometimes I feel a little guilty, like maybe I am wrong, which is why I wanted to put in into the forum. But it doesn't seem to teach anything... it is almost like an excuse or something... oh I don't know... let's keep the ball rolling... |

Re: Let's talk about Indigo Children

Re: Let's talk about Indigo Children
I think there is something to the "Indigos." They've also been described as "Psychic Children" and then there are the "Crystal Children" as well.
Check out these threads over in the New Age forum (sorry Snoops! {I can hear you gagging through my Indigo Receiver <Okay, really it's just a bit of tinfoil that I colored with magic marker and put on top of my head>}): http://www.comparative-religion.com/forum/new-age.html http://www.comparative-religion.com/...king-6218.html I also posted a video recently of a prodigy artist who some would label Indigo (others would call her 'hothoused' or perhaps 'spoiled', but I think she's way cool).I have some more thoughts on this. Somewhere--I'm sure I do! But right now isn't a good time for me to try to compose a more coherent and original message. Thanks for an interesting thread. Peace, P |

Re: Let's talk about Indigo Children
That's OK amy, owls are like that. (a little sensitive)
Yes, if people keep seeing it on the home page their curiosity will be piqued; so see I'm doing you a favour by bumping it. Otters are like that.  But I do think you need to actually, y'know, say stuff about your topic....it's kind of traditional... s. |
