Indigo Children: Fact or Fiction?

Indigo Children: Fact or Fiction? The new age children have been variously described of late as Indigos (because of the supposed color of their auras), Star Kids (because of their purported origination from other worlds), Crystals (because some say they are highly developed), and so forth.  Easy-spanish-rice-recipe. Professionals in the field of child development and education, parents, even the Indigo children themselves, are having problems with the idea that certain character traits are the sole province of special youngsters when, in fact, the vast majority of today's children match those same traits – without evidencing anything like a purple aura, or being a hybrid from another planet, or possessing "god-like" wisdom.  Being supersensitive, confident, highly intelligent, unusually creative, nonconformist, extraordinarily psychic and spiritually aware, impatient, empathic, able to heal or aid others in significant ways, abstracting at young ages, spatial learner

INDIGO MIND



INDIGO MIND

Working with the mind of an Indigo children is an exercise in judgement, timing and impeccable integrity that builds trust between the teacher and the student, and the parent and their child. The suggestions listed below are good teaching practices but also include the student's participation in the decision-making, that surrounds their own learning.

* Try not to impose your own agenda on the Indigo children because that is how it has always been done. These children will perceive quickly a worn out method.

*Be flexible and ready to change lesson plans. Trust your instincts that flexibility is more useful than rigid plans. The focus is still the completion of the goal but resist the method of only teaching to complete the pre-set goal.

*Talk everything over with the Indigo children.

* Computer activities can be absorbing, educational and also time-consuming. The Indigo Conceptual will lead you in the computer with their intuitive skills yet may not have clear boundaries in regards to ethics and copyright laws. This is a teaching moment for teacher and student. The computer is a tool and a medium of expression that most Indigo childrens have readily embraced.

Parents can profit most by:

1. "Selling" time or bartering with their children for computer usage.
2. Planning websites by students made for their family, for a teacher or for informational usage. 3. Allowing the Indigo children to research on computers.
4. Establishing boundaries for appropriate usage of the Internet.

* Establish positive expectations and guidelines for each indigo children ; a class can also do this as a group activity. The Indigo Mind will appreciate the positive approach.

Sounds like a tedious process but eventually we all agree on what they are going to learn
that semester.

*Interaction with animals, art, music, drama, nature, even the martial arts will instill in the young and old Indigo children a bond with the outside world that helps them to construct a reality based on what they already know. All books and computers may not help to recharge the sensitive Indigo mind.

* Cater to the student's learning style and mutiple intelligences and not yours. Many of my Indigo children are verbal/visual learners with diagnosed ADD and ADHD. I am a global learner: visual, verbal, and tactile. Occassionally my learning style compliments that of my students. I recommend that parents and teachers explore these
sites and work with these concepts on their students. It is my opinion, that ALL learners should know their personal learning style. A highly informative and useful site that will also have links to other sites regarding learning styles and multiple intelligences is The Education Coalition

*For very young Indigo children show them an example of a possible outcome for projects or richly describe the final outcome. If allowed to try their own methods, new methods of thinking and design may emerge. Before the young Indigos or any young student are completely frustrated, suggest a change of pace and remind them that there will be a tomorrow. Do not let the Indigo children feel that they are completely blocked by their frustrated endeavors. They will appreciate your honoring their boundaries and limitiations.

*For older Indigo children, present the scenario and proposed outcome. Provide the guidelines and training and allow the Indigo student room to experiment, fail and finalize their processes. Encourage the Indigo children to show you what they created.

*The assessment of Indigo student schoolwork or any other product of the student, should meet the teacher's proposed outcomes. However, if it does not, give the Indigo children a chance to explain their process upon completion. When the product does not meet the proposed outcome guidelines, invest the time in finding out. Chances are the student stumbled across something of great personal interest and did not move along fast enough.

Do you belong to one of the five indigo generations?

Do you belong to one of the five indigo generations? One of the most renowned researchers of the New Age phenomena is Ms. Lori Johnson, who worked on the Indigo generation almost scientifically and divided it into five categories according to the date of birth of children. Alpha Generation Strawberry-shortcake-cake. The first generation, which was called Alpha, includes children born in the period from 1958 to 1968. Their aura was dark blue and green with purple shades and was under the influence of the metallic beige protecting them from external attacks and excessive early showing of indigo potential. Since early childhood, the Alpha had a feeling of being different, as if they did not belong to their place, country or parents. The reasons for this difference were always vague and never found a satisfactory explanation. The period of awakening of the Alpha generation is from 1986 until 1996. Beta generation They are people born in the period betwe

The indigo children

 The indigo children The term "Indigo Children" refers to a concept popularized in the 1990s by New Age author and teacher Nancy Ann Tappe and later expanded upon by authors Lee Carroll and Jan Tober in their book "The Indigo Children: The New Kids Have Arrived."  Lemon-smoothie.
