Indigo children require lots of attention in our modern world. They tend to think holistically and intuitively, and are understood to process emotions differently than other types of people. The increasing diagnosis of ADD and ADHD in children may overlook the reality of a different kind of generation that has arrived for a purpose. Is this more to this than science fiction? Since new kinds of intelligence are emerging worldwide that defy normal explanation, and medical treatment isn't working, maybe its time to look further than just outside-the-box?

Wendy Chapman, a foremost expert in this field, has written The Complete Idiot's Guide to Indigo Children (Alpha Books, 2007). She explains this phenomena and how parents can recognize and encourage these kinds of "higher-level children."  The readership and orders for this book are growing steadily. Does this imply more people are opening their eyes to this idea?

Meg Blackburn Loosey, Ph.D. has written Children of Now (Career Press, 2007).  Her research reveals that a large number of babies come into the world bearing inherent gifts that are beyond strange to most people.  These youngsters discover they're telepathic, grasp subtle energ levels, and/or have amazing psychic abilities that society would describe as unbelievable.  Yet, are they really? With more research in this area being funded and released, are humans not more than curious?

P.M.H. Atwater, known for extensive research into Near Death Experience (NDE), has also written a book about Indigo children called Beyond the indigo children : the new children and the coming of the fifth world (Bear & Co., 2005).  This book refers to a prophecy: the fifth sun or fifth world of the Mayan calendar will supposedly move into ascension on December 21, 2012. Will this date open a "gateway" of planetary development that will open humanity to new ways of living and new worlds of opportunity? Ancient traditions have foretold the transformation and passage of our world with the aid of the wisdom of the indigo generation and others.

Doreen Virtue, Ph.D. has also written widely on indigo, crystal and rainbow children. She has written about The Care and Feeding of Indigo Children (Hay House, 2001) and other books.  Her work encourages human beings to open up and connect with angels, Higher Forces and sentient beings all around us meant to assist us to reframe our earthly perception.

Peggy Day brought us Edgar Cayce on the indigo children : understanding psychic children (A.R.E. Press, 2005). This work reveals how renowned dream analyst Edgar Cayce understood the shift in human awareness that was taking place.  Why is it taking us so long to recognize what Cayce predicted as inevitable? What would it take for you to perceive yourself, friends and strangers in a new, positive light? What if indigo difference wasn't illness or controversy, but hid an incredible gift?
