Top Ten Signs You Have an Indigo Child

As was mentioned in a previous article, The Indigo Child: Fact or Fiction, the definition of an Indigo child was best worded in the book titled "The Indigo Children: The New Kids Have Arrived", a book by Lee Carroll and Jan Tober.

The definition: "An Indigo child is one who displays a new and unusual set of psychological attributes and shows a pattern of behavior generally undocumented before."

However, there are ten common traits that researchers, psychologists and others interested in the Indigo Child phenomenon believe help classify these children. The are as follows:

1. Indigo Children come into the world with a feeling of royalty (and often act like it).

This statement does not indicate a sassy, bratty child. It indicates a highly intelligent being who knows they are there for an important reason, even if they don't yet understand what it is. They have a feeling about themselves, that they are important, and often act like it, usually in the things they say, speaking from an experience they often haven't ever had.

2. Indigo Children have a feeling of "deserving to be here," and are surprised when others don't share that.

Again, this is one of those instances, when an Indigo internally recognizes that they were sent here for a greater purpose. These children do not necessarily act snobby or self-centered. They just understand there is a reason they have been put here, and they long to understand what it is.

3. Self-worth is not a big issue for Indigo Children. They often tell the parents "who they are."

This is a wonderful quality, that unfortunately more children to not possess. The Indigo child does not always have high self esteem, but usually knows who they are before anyone else has ever figured them out. They usually recognize that they are different.

4. Indigo Children have difficulty with absolute authority (authority without explanation or choice).
