This definition is from Wikipedia.

Indigo children is a term used within the New Age movement to refer to children who are alleged to possess paranormal attributes such as the ability to read minds.

The Indigo child concept was first publicized in 1999 by the book The Indigo Children: The New Kids Have Arrived, written by the husband-and-wife team of Lee Carroll and Jan Tober [1]. Carroll insists that the concept was obtained via conversations with a spiritual entity known as Kryon.

The reason for the use of the adjective "indigo" is not universally agreed upon: some sources link it with an early researcher into the phenomenon, who was synesthetic. It has also been claimed that these children appear with an indigo-hued aura.


The Indigo Child movement believes that the children in question are born with an empathic connection to Earth and others' thoughts. However, due to natural limits in infant communication, Indigo children's supposed abilities (empathy, telepathy, extra-sensory perception and extra-normal perception) are often suppressed by negative parental or societal influence. The Indigo Child movement therefore encourages parents to support those children in whom can be seen traits which are often labeled as negative by mainstream authorities but as positive by Indigo Child theorists.

Carroll and Tober identify ten attributes that they assert describe Indigo children. From www.indigochild.com:

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 do not 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 do not require creative thought.
They often see better ways of doing things, both at home and in school, which makes them seem like "system busters" (non-conforming 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"Wink.
They are not shy in letting it be known what they need.
In her article [1] Wendy H. Chapman (enlightenment teacher at and Director of Metagifted Education Resource Organization [2]) says that Indigo children will also display many of the following:

Have strong self esteem, connection to source
Have an obvious sense of self
Refuse to follow orders or directions
Get bored rather easily with assigned tasks
Are rather creative
Display strong intuition
Have either strong or no empathy for others
Develop abstract thinking very young
Are gifted and/or talented, highly intelligent
Are often identified or suspected of having ADHD
Are frequent daydreamers
Have very old, deep, wise looking eyes


Many discussions of Indigo children in New Age literature (including Kryon literature) claim that Indigo children are born with part of their DNA activated that most people do not have activated. Some claim that it is junk DNA that they utilize to "swap out" higher-dimensional information, giving them special abilities.

These abilities are said to include purging HIV, advanced genius and psychic/telekinetic powers [2] [3] speaking to the dead.[4] Further purported abilities include:

+Highly intelligent.
+Often very creative.
+Developmentally advanced in reading walking, talking, etc.
+Psychic/intuitive abilities.
+Multi-dimensionally awareness; they perceive a broader range of reality.
+Telepathic abilities.
+They sense and feel energies from people or other living things (aura reading).
+Telekinesis, etc. Moving objects with their mind energy and thought.
+Awareness of scientific, historical, anthropological and spiritual knowledge not consciously learnt. Sometimes called 'knowledge bombs'.
+Awareness of past lives.
+Extremely empathic to all creatures, not just humans but animals and plants.
+They can communicate with the unseen world, spirits and angels.
+Multi-dimensional healing abilities.
+Manifest unusual artwork, languages and scripts.
+They experience dreams where they are being taught how to use their high sense abilities on space craft.
+Dual consciousness; feeling part human and part extraterrestrial.
+Have a sense of mission or higher purpose.




I believe I am on of the indigo children.
Iv'e been told I am and I feel it.

I am very advanced in healing, Ive never learnt reiki techniques.
I have my own that work rapidly in healing others.

I feel energies around people, can see auras a little bit [im working on it],
I can just know things, I can tell what it making people sick or whats making them upset just by being around them or by touch [not in that way, lol],
I have astrally projected before [left my body.], made contact with others in my dreams [i remember talking to them and they remember talking to me in their dreams.] and etc..


ps.. heres a link to an article published in the new york times in 2006.

...I think my brother is one! He fits most of those descriptions. But he's never said anything about having powers. This is so cool. I've always wanted to be like that, like, I grew up reading those books like T*witches and stories about kids with special powers and stuff. But to know someone like that is just as cool.

Yeah, I just went and read every article that Wikipedia cited. And...no. Just no. Kryon? Yeah, I like to color with kryons. Can you say "cult" ? It's just another excuse for people to act special. For attention-mongers under the age of 10. I was right a year ago: that stuff is in books. Yes, there may be people with telekenetic and telepathic abilities. But they don't need a section of society roped off to them. They shouldn't be discouraged but you can't just go around "nurturing" ever Shcmo and Sally that says "I have powers BITCH!"

I have been told I am one before by both teachers and psychologists when I was evaluated as a child and I do identify with some of the traits though not all and some of these abilites. I can't say one way or another that there should even be a classification for them or not to be honest or whether or not I truly fall into this "category."
To me it would seem like a lot of people would think themselves better than others when they look at these observations and compare themselves to others. Others might often toss themselves into this classification to make themselves look better in others' eyes. If I am honest, I think that those who would exhibit all of those traits, are as Steph said, spoiled brats.
I don't feel as though I am better than anyone else and I have no problem whatsoever with authority.

No one person is better than the other, regardless of these traits and I see the term "Indigo Child" as a label for such people with some of these abilities or traits. The label doesn't have to necessarily mean bad, but I think it's just like pinning the social classes when it comes to incomes, like upper class, etc. It is more or less taking a person's abilities into mind rather than money and saying that someone is better than another just because they might have psychic or intuitive abilities.

I won't say that this sort of thing doesn't exist, because anything is possible. Past lives, psychics, aura readers etc. Not everyone who claims these experiences, lie I am sure. I've seen a lot about people recalling past lives and actual real psychics, things of that sort. So I will not rule it out under in circumstance.

I didn't have the patience to read all the Wikipedia article but from what i heard before about the Indigo Children i heard that they have something related to autism(?).
And they are more intelligent and have some ultra extra mega paranormal powers or something like that.

I think its all bull.
Precocious parents and even more precocious children who want to be "special".
I mean, if these children really were so 'special', there wouldn't be a whole thread full of people claming to be some kind of higher entity.

That article is also ridiculous.
"He told me when he was 6 months old that he was going to have trouble in school because they wouldn't know where to fit him,"

Like a six month old can talk in such a complex manner, and have so much self awareness. Many six month olds can't even talk. I mean, come on, a six month old doesn't even have kneecaps, let alone that kind of intelligence.

Okay, so there was a program about this before. Some really young boy claimed to see a girl climbing over a fence, and then see a railway line that wasn't there. The fact that there used to be a railway line there makes him have "special powers". Yes. Not just that he fucking likes trains like every other young boy. This may offend, but I believe a lot of it is parents treying to find a "talent" in a child when there might not be one already, or not one that they are proud of.
