In the 90s of the XX century, the idea of the existence of indigo children became widespread: babies with special abilities, an unusual character and certain views on life, which can be distinguished by the characteristic color of the aura. But scientists do not recognize this concept, they call it pseudoscientific, and such children - suffering from attention deficit disorder.
Indigo children
For the first time this term was introduced by the psychic Nancy Ann Tapp, who, according to her, could see the aura of people. She noticed that children are increasingly showing an indigo aura - a variation of the shade between purple and navy blue. After observing such babies, Tapp came to the conclusion that they are significantly different from ordinary people. This idea became widespread, other psychics became interested in it. They describe the most different, sometimes opposite character traits, abilities and views of such children, but there are several general descriptions that are more or less similar in many authors.
Indigo children are introverts, they are prone to isolation, do not like to communicate and only make contact if they need something. When they find themselves in an unpleasant situation or under the influence of methods of upbringing that are unacceptable for them, they withdraw into themselves. Such children are highly intelligent and well versed in modern technology, but often have a penchant for many other areas of science or activity, while it is noted that their favorite areas can be completely different. They prefer to acquire knowledge empirically, reinforcing their experiments by studying theory.
Indigo children have an independent, strong character, they have a developed sense of individualism, they are distinguished by self-respect, and do not recognize authorities, therefore upbringing is problematic. They are not affected by threats, rewards, punishments, you need to find a common language with them, try to negotiate and use other methods of influence. They are responsible, altruistic, love justice.
Indigo children, especially at an early age, are restless, very active, they take up any work with energy. But they often suffer from attention deficit disorder, while prone to depression and mood swings. An indigo child often talks about feeling older. Despite a developed sense of compassion, love for nature and people, a desire to achieve social justice, they sometimes show cruelty.
Criticism of the concept of "indigo children"
Official science does not recognize the existence of indigo children, as well as the ability to see the color of the aura and the aura as such. Scientists call this term pseudoscientific: none of the authors of books about genius children and psychics can provide scientific evidence of their existence. Analyzing the signs of indigo children in various sources, doctors came to the conclusion that they belong to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Some of the capabilities of Indigo children are beyond mainstream science - telepathic abilities, for example. Others are easily explained from a medical, social, or psychological point of view. Closedness can be a manifestation of Asperger's syndrome or autism, the propensity for digital technologies is associated with social trends, and the mind is associated with high intellectual abilities inherent in genetics.
