I do not know a lot about these children, but from what I have heard they are the new consciousness, the children of light, and they are here to save the world. They are also, children with special gifts, and talents, and can do things above the average child. The are protected, and watched over to avoid attention, and confusion from the ordinary children.

It is my understanding that they received special training, and education to improve, and use their gifts in a positive way. I heard the numbers of these children are increasing, and they avoid public attention.

My question would be: how would you know, if your child is an Indigo, or crystal child?

CharacteristicsDescriptions of indigo children include the belief that they are empathetic, curious, strong-willed, independent, and often perceived by friends and family as being strange; possess a clear sense of self-definition and purpose; and also exhibit a strong inclination towards spiritual matters from early childhood. Indigo children have also been described as having a strong feeling of entitlement, or "deserving to be here." Other alleged traits include a high intelligence quotient, an inherent intuitive ability, and resistance to authority.[4][6] According to Tober and Carroll, indigo children function poorly in conventional schools due to their rejection of authority, being smarter than their teachers, and a lack of response to guilt-, fear- or manipulation-based discipline.[ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigo_children by what i read here there is alot of good to being a indigo children.indigo children function poorly in conventional schools due to their rejection of authority, being smarter than their teachers, and a lack of response to guilt-, fear- or manipulation-based discipline.[

if they are smarter then the teacher why would they accept their authority when they use guilt fear intimidation and all other manipulation. would you not do the same? and they think those children have mental illness or lacking awareness and concentration.

Parents began medicating and diagnosing their offspring as Indigo Children as a means of "redeeming"[3] them for their improper behavior stemming from ADD and ADHD.[

meds are never a solution. it is like a bandaid on a problem. if i drug you to not be who you are what will happen 20 or 30 year later when you stop the meds? you fall back to square one to know your self and wasted 20 or 30 year. the child is hyper active and needs to take drug to not bother the teacher that is what they are doing now. even if he is hyper active and has to much energy how will he learn to live with this and take control of those energy in a positve way ? i do not think the solution is to drug them for 20 or 30 year do you? well it seams those parents and children are more intelligent then the system that try to crush them to conform. bravo to those parents that prefer to teach and take care of their children them self it is very responsible of them.

What is an indigo Child? As a summary, 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.

The following extract describes the difference between Indigo and Crystal Children. It is from Doreen Virtue's article Indigo and Crystal Children:

The first thing most people notice about Crystal Children is their eyes, large, penetrating, and wise beyond their years. Their eyes lock on and hypnotize you, while you realize your soul is being laid bare for the child to see. Perhaps you've noticed this special new "breed" of children rapidly populating our planet. They are happy, delightful and forgiving. This generation of new lightworkers, roughly ages 0 through 7, are like no previous generation. Ideal in many ways, they are the pointers for where humanity is headed ... and its a good direction!

The older children (approximately age 7 through 25), called "indigo Children", share some characteristics with the Crystal Children. Both generations are highly sensitive and psychic, and have important life purposes. The main difference is their temperament. Indigos have a warrior spirit, because their collective purpose is to mash down old systems that no longer serve us. They are here to quash government, educational, and legal systems that lack integrity. To accomplish this end, they need tempers and fiery determination.

The Indigo and Crystal children that come to the planet are known as "starchildren". Often this is because their souls are more at home in the stars, and they have not incarnated on Earth before. They come at this time as a "special assignment" team to assist Earth and her inhabitants with their transition and rebirth as a higher dimensional "New Earth".

But while these beings appear like ordinary human beings, they do in fact have access to a greater range of human potential. They are more open to who they are, closer to a recognition of their divine origins and essence.

But while the Tao cannot be defined, it can be known. The method of the Tao is to become aware of what is happening. To do this, one must pay attention with an open mind. Personal prejudices or bias must be set aside, inasmuch as prejudiced people see only what fits their prejudices. What one can see is often limited by what one believes.

A wise teacher lets others have the floor.

        A good teacher is better than a spectacular teacher.  Otherwise, the teacher becomes more important than the teaching.

        Facilitate what is happening rather than what you think ought to be happening.

        Silence says more than words; pay much attention to it.

        Continual classroom drama clouds inner work.

        Allow time for genuine insight.

        A good reputation arises naturally from doing good work.  But do not nourish the reputation; the anxiety will be endless.  Instead, nourish the work.

        To know what is happening, relax, and do not try to figure things out.  Listen quietly, be calm, and use reflection.

        Let go of selfishness.  Let go of your ego, and you will receive what you need.  Give away credit, and you will get more.  When you desire nothing, much comes to you.  The less you make of yourself, the more you are.

        Instead of trying hard, be easy.  Teach by example, and more will happen.

        Trying to appear brilliant does not work.

        The gift of a great teacher is to create an awareness of greatness in others.

        Because the teacher can see clearly, light is shed on others.

        Teach as a leader and a healer.  Constant force and intervention will backfire, as will constant yielding.  One cannot push the river; a leader’s touch is light.

        To manage other lives takes strength; to manage your own life takes real power.

        Be happy, content, and at peace with yourself.

Ultimately, Education is “to draw forth”. It is not to impose upon, as in what appears to be the primary technique currently running rampant in The Public School Nightmare. The prime beneficiaries of the Tao of Teaching must be the learners, be they traditional or non-traditional students, Indigo Children, or anyone else who is thirsting for knowledge, understanding, and wisdom.
