The term ?Indigo Children? entered the lexicon in 1982 when psychic and author Nancy Ann Tappe talked about the coming Indigo Age in her book, Understanding Your Life Through Color . In this guide, the authors explain why Indigo Children require lots of they tend to think holistically and intuitively, and they process emotions differently. Parenting these high-level children is a challenge, and their years in school may be challenging. ?Articles about the Indigo phenomenon have appeared in newspapers throughout the U.S. and as far away as Russia over the last few years, including one in the New York Times (1/06) ?Author Wendy H. Chapman is considered one of the foremost experts on Indigo Children
I strongly recommend this book for anyone who believes they may have an Indigo child or that they once were an Indigo child. If there was ever a doubt in my mind whether we have an Indigo, it's been completely confirmed. Such relief and a sense of "okay, now I at least know what I'm dealing with here".
MANY of our child's characteristic are listed in this book along with ways of addressing, supporting, and knowing how to parent. This book breaks all the rules that I'm accustom too and gives direct advise to parents for themselves, and their children. This book is so good, I've ordered it for friends. Highly recommended!
I didn't finish it. It was interesting in that I could spot the various characteristics of my children (who are now 20 and 17) and validated some of how I parented them when they were little, but I was interested in going deeper, which the book didn't seem to do. I think once upon a time when this book came out (and probably when I should have read it) it cracked minds open. Now, after the advent of smartphones, social media, mental health awareness and the advent of real conversations around identity sparked by gender, this book seems to have noticed the evolution of a generation. Fascinating from that perspective, but since we're all here, let's talk about what comes next.
