The Indigo Children (by Júlia Rockenbach)

As we all have been working with children in our internship and as I heard from a teacher that children don’t know anything and that they don’t want to study, I decided to talk a little bit about a subject that should be discussed everytime. Maybe some people do not believe in what I'm going to talk about, as it deals with spirituality too. But, even so, I believe this information is essential to parents, teachers, psychologists, pedagogues, and for all those people who intend to work with children.

Indigo children are children born in the last 10 years. They’ve been coming to change the world, in terms of education, society and spirituality. They have a different cerebral structure related to the use of their potencialities. They go beyond the “intelectual”, and their behavior in any aspect of life is the focus of changes. Indigo child has a new and uncommon set of psychological characterists and shows a pattern of behavior that has not been documented yet. So, it means that people who live around them has to change, and not the children themselves, in order to reach an equilibrium. If we ignore this new pattern of behavior, we will be causing them disequilibrium and frustration.

I’ve been reading a lot of materials about the subject but, of course, I’m not able to talk deeply about it yet. So I chose an website to indicate to you, then you can access it and read a little bit about Indigo children. There are books about them too. I really recommend these readings. It can help us a lot as teachers and also as parents.
