Indigio Children?
Brian and Kathy Stamp
This came up on another board (nothing to do with schooling either) that I belong to and I was wondering if any of you have researched it at all. If you have what are your thoughts on it.
Thanks,
Kathy

I did a very quick look see. Basically skimmed two websites.
What do I think? I think it looks like a new age, pyramid sitting,
massive rationalization on why we should treat our kids like human
beings. Oh, and why we shouldn't be surprised, that having become
anti-establishment folk, we should have kids who can't stand in line
for no good reason.
Uhm, seems a bit silly to me. And I'm a card carrying witch for whom
phrases like "past lives" and "old soul" don't sound unusual or
unreasonable at all. (No, I don't really have a card, no wait! I
do!!! LOL! I have a business card for the community group I help run.)
Our children are who they are. MOST people respond better when
treated like human beings and not chattel. No matter how their karma
is doing.

Personally I'm not convinced it's anything much beyond wishfulness or another
way to describe long-existing traits.
One place to go to read more about it is
http://www.childrenofthenewearth.com/index.shtml
They have other kinds of articles too, but they seem to specialize in Indigo
and giftedness (they see that as a form of giftedness, I think, in their
context).

The following is a quote from http://kryon.com/k_37.html
a description of a book called The Indigo Children.
"These children are truly special, representing a great percentage of all the kids being born today on a worldwide basis. They come in "knowing" who they are - so they must be recognized, celebrated for their exceptional qualities, and guided with love and care."
Now aren't all children truly special, coming into the world knowing who they are. As a parent I believe it's been my job from the beginning to not get in the way of my child being her self, to celebrate their exceptional qualities in a loving and caring environment.

Thank you for posting this. It is clarifying the reasons why I have always
had an amorphous feeling of discomfort on the various occasions I have come
across this Indigo Children concept � future cultural/spiritual leaders
or�something. Somehow reading that some kids are born more special than
others made me feel worried or like I should be concerned that Jayn was
somehow inadequate � it�s a bit like how sometimes reading fashion magazines
can make me feel fat and ugly in the midst of all the �how to be beautiful�
advice. Without the magazines I feel much better about myself. Maybe the
point should be that all children are Indigo, but I never felt it when I
read about indigo children online. Who decides that a child is not worthy of
being celebrated or guided with love and care? Don�t children with any kind
of setback need just as much love and care? Bah!

Yeah, well...
I suspect it's about the moms at some level more than about the kids.
Anyone seen any "My child is an Indigo" bumper stickers?

I'd buy one. Rather - how about "all children are indigo." I am still looking for the "unschooling schoolbus" bumper sticker to put on my car <or> "drive carefully school is not in session."
