Indigo children - what does it mean, signs, how to identify and raise them

Indigo child symptoms

The main feature that distinguishes an indigo baby– his unshakable confidence in himself and his own importance. They seem to be sure that they are different from other people, they are – special. Such kids behave as if they carry some knowledge in themselves, inaccessible to others. They reason like adults, which causes both admiration and respect.If you know what it means - indigo children,easier to approach themPhoto: Getty But this self-confidence has a downside. They consider themselves so perfect that when someone evaluates them differently or does not accept their "regality", they are at a loss. The more such clashes a person with high self-esteem has with reality, the more he withdraws into himself. Therefore, another trait of an indigo child is loneliness. They do not recognize any authorities or rules.

How to determine that your child is an indigo

Take a closer look at your baby. If you notice these qualities in him from an early age, most likely he is a "special" indigo:

"Royal" behavior - the baby emphasizes in every possible way that he is higher, more important than others. He is surprised if someone does not agree with this.
Nobody takes for credibility and is guided solely by one's own ideas about what and how to do.
He does not like to follow conservative systems and go in well-trodden ways. It breaks traditions and rules.
Does not communicate with those who are not the same as he. Prefer loneliness if there are no people with the same worldview.

There are other character traits. But these are the main ones. Such a child is immediately noticeable, he stands out among his peers.

How to bring up such children

Respect for the individual, freedom of choice andcreative approach - these are the three pillars on which the upbringing of an indigo should be built. You cannot humiliate him or force him to do something by order. If you need to achieve something from the baby - explain to him on an equal footing what you want and why it should be that way. Listen to his point of view. Give him the opportunity to make his own choice and even make a mistake and see the consequences of his actions. Despite the fact that indigos require an attitude towards themselves as adults, they are not yet ready to perform adult duties and be responsible for their decisions. Like all children, they need the opportunity to play, move and apply their irrepressible creative energy to something. Give them this opportunity. If you are ready to build partnerships in the family and listen to the opinion of a small person - he will open the door to a new unusual world for you. Indigos perceive and evaluate the world differently, and they will be happy to share their wisdom with you.
