I had heard the term before but didn't really know what it meant. Tonight I stumbled upon some websites about these so called Indigo children. Maybe I am interpreting it wrong (different websites say different things) but here is a list of what supposedly makes a child an 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
Now to me this sounds like hogwash. It sounds like a label some parents came up with to make their kid more special than mine. Or to help the parent explain away behavior issues and absolve themselves of any responsibility.
It seems so weird to me, especially when the websites refer to them as being a new breed of child or something to the effect of "the new children have arrived". I keep getting pictures of the children of the corn.
I guess I'm wondering if anyone has heard of this before or had any experience with and Indigo child?

Well, that's sort of what I was thinking too but I didn't want to be accused of
