Indigo Children

[Guest guest]

Last week I flew to Arizona to visit my brother. I happen to sit

next to a woman who was a psychic. (That was so cool for me!!) We

got talking about my three kids (ages 11, 7, and 5). She asked me

right away if my daughter (my 7 year old) was sensitive. I thought

for a moment and was thinking, yeah she is now that I think about

it. She is really struggling academically and is a really heavy

sleeper and needs to still wear a pull up at night. The psychic

woman asked me if I ever heard of Indigo children and she

enlightened me about it. She suggested that I read up on it.

 

Now I love each of my children very dearly, but I've always thought

of my 7 year old as....different....in a special kind of way. Never

could put my finger on it. It was sort of making sense to me. I am a

true believer in a lot of things. I've searched a bit in the

internet about Indigo children and some of their traits. Some of

which she has, I believe. Recently we've been to the pediatrician to

do some testing for ADD; we've been to the optometrist to check her

eyes, etc. Her teacher says that she is sorta " daydreaming " all the

time and doesn't follow directions very much. She's not obnoxious or

out of control, just sometimes " not there. " My daughter is very

intuitive and has come right out and told me: " Mommy, I don't get

it...it's too hard...can you come to school and help me? Did you

tell the teacher I need MORE help?? " If you ask her what her

favorite thing about school is, she says gym and art. She could

color pictures all day long. (She also can be incredibly irritable

at times but then in the next minute so sweet and cuddly.) My

little " blondie " with the crystalline blue/green eyes

 

We have tried some manipulatives such as kooshy balls for her to

play with while in class and listening. She's tried a sit-disk (as

she is somewhat ancy and doesn't sit down much.) She's very quiet

and shy around the teacher and really only talks to one or two other

classmates. (Of course at home, she's not afraid to " speak her mind

or tell you how it is. " LOL.)

 

Is she somewhat ADD? Not quite sure but I do not want her on meds.

I'd like to just try some different approaches for her in terms of

assisting her academically.

 

Also, does anyone know of some really good books on Indigo children?

I'm not even quite sure she is one, but it really got me thinking

(and interested in learning more.) Who knows, maybe it wasn't just a

coincidence that the psychic sat by me? I've never met one in my

life and I thought it was neat!

 

Sorry so long

 

Thanks,
