Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Do you think your child is special? Well, perhaps he or she is. Self-help professionals Lee Carroll and Jan Tober have collected essays by dozens of doctors, counsellors, and other childhood experts that seem to document the arrival on earth of a newly-evolved species of kid referred to here as an "indigo" child. The 10 most common traits are:

1) They come into the world with a feeling of royalty.
2) They have a feeling of deserving to be here.
3) Self-worth is not a big issue.
4) They have difficulty with authority by ritual or without explanation.
5) They simply will not do certain things.
6) They get frustrated with systems that don't require creative thought.
7) They often see better ways of doing things.
8) School is often difficult for them and they can seem anti-social.
9) They will not respond to emotional blackmail )
10) They are not shy in letting you know what they need.

If your little angel/devil fits this pattern and you are pulling your hair out trying to relate, you may want to read this book before resorting to Ritalin. --P. Randall Cohan--Amazon.com

Product Description

This book is a must for the parents of unusually bright and active children. Indigo children are those who display a new and unusual set of psychological attributes and show a pattern of behaviour generally undocumented before. The Indigo Children tells you how to identify this behavioural pattern, then guides you on how you can help these children to realise their amazing potential.

5.0 out of 5 stars Important information for those with young children, 10 Nov 2003

By	DAVID-LEONARD WILLIS (Thessaloniki Greece) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

I have certain memories of how I acted as a child and have been surprised that children today seem to be more mature. It was therefore with some fascination that I found that the authors of "The Indigo Children" had noted the same thing, but not being experts in this field they looked to others better qualified to comment. Lee Carol and Jan Tober have collected articles from many people who work with children who tell us that today's children have a feeling of royalty, believe they deserve to be here, know who they are, challenge authority, refuse to do certain things, are frustrated with ritual-oriented systems, are system busters, act anti-socially, do not respond to guilt discipline, and tell us what they need. Because we cannot handle these children, our society smothers them, labels them as "learning disabled" and drugs them with Ritalin and Cylert. These children believe they came to serve the planet as emissaries from heaven, bearers of wisdom to give us a new understanding of humanity and consider themselves gifts to their parents. By honoring the Indigo Child as a gift instead of a problem we will open the door to understanding their wisdom. We should listen to their message as many Indigos are inherently gifted philosophers, scientists, inventors and artists. Many parents are unaware that their child could be potentially gifted and do not recognize or respect their children although performance scores may be exceptionally high.

But why the color indigo? Nancy Ann Tappe can look at people and see their life color from which she can determine their mission on earth. She can "read" personality. About 90% of children are now born radiating an indigo color. There are four types of indigo - the humanist who will become a doctor, teacher, lawyer or politician; the artist who is creative and into the arts; the conceptualist who will work as a designer, engineer or architect; and the inter-dimensional who seems to know everything and will bring us new philosophies and religions.

Punishment will not work while discipline guides by providing logical and realistic consequences. As these children read intent more than words we should treat them with the same respect we would other adults. We should say what we mean, mean what we say and do what we said we would do. Integrity should be our guide. If we want these kids to make wise choices, we must give them the opportunity to make choices, including some unwise ones. Listen, talk, share. Many Indigos have problems with school. It is interesting to note that Albert Einstein found his schooling so distasteful that he could not consider scientific problems for a year. There is a 12-year old who would not go to school because he saw no value in the hours spent there but who helped bring about change in the school to better serve the needs of himself and others. Education must change to accommodate the Indigo Child. Robert Ocker helps children to focus on problem solving, conflict resolution, taking responsibility and character education. Education requires a new vision for the children of the 21st century. As educators we must revisit our assumptions about the meaning, purpose and function of education. We must teach children how to think, not what to think and develop children's abilities and skills rather than memories. These children are computerized and technological which means that they will introduce technology that we cannot even dream of. Real education takes care of the body, soul and spirit. Are there any school systems that really work with Indigo children? There are two established systems - the Waldorf System based on the teachings of Rudolf Steiner and Montessori schools. Waldorf schools are reported to be the fastest growing nonsectarian educational system in the world.

If you think you have or know of an Indigo Child, this book could be invaluable. If you are an educator and have trouble with some children who seem to be exceptionally bright, this volume could shed new light on the situation. It is very helpful to learn what these people who have long experience working with children have to say.

5.0 out of 5 stars A revolutionary read which changed my approach to parenting, 24 Jul 2001

By A Customer

I have read many books on difficult/ADHD children in order to try to manage my own 'difficult' child. The problem with these books is that they have only ever partially described my daughter. 'The Indigo Children' was completely different - it rang true from the start and left me feeling reassured rather than isolated and unable to cope. It offers excellent advice on how to cope with an Indigo - advice that actually works. At last someone out there understands that my happy, individual, stressful, unworried, royal-like child is not autistic, naughty or suffering from some abnormality. She is a true Indigo and this knowledge has given me support and a way forward where doctors and child psychologists have failed. An absolute must-read for any parent that worries about their child who defies all labels and challenges all authorities.

5.0 out of 5 stars A well rounded book, 16 Feb 2003

By	"daydreamwriting" - See all my reviews

This book works well on many levels. It is a pleasant book to read which gives some insight into children today. Some views expressed in the book I would not agree with but that does not mean to say they are wrong and I am right. Some content could be taken as rubbish (by some) but remember if you are wanting to live with children, you must at times be like children and see their world with their eyes and ears.

I would tell anyone that has a sense of humour (and kids also) to give this bookshelf space or better yet, stick it on your coffee table or bedside cabinet and read it.
