Characteristics of Today's Children

Behavior Patterns of Indigo Children
Information taken from The Care and Feeding of Indigo Children
by Doreen Virtue, Ph.D  

• 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 ritual 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 until your father gets home!”)
• They aren’t shy about letting you know what they need.
