My Child is an Indigo

100 pounds is rich?!?! Damn. You Brits have it easy.

My son made $120 selling junk food at a garage sale this weekend. He's not indigo, however. More of a toad belly pink.

So, it's taken you almost a whole year to get another "hit".
I'm convinced... ;)

Ahh but you forget that in that time she's almost learnt how to ride a bike, can sometimes eat a whole meal without dropping stuff on the floor and can converse with at least three generations of deceased ancestors.

Isn't amazing how kids grow up?

£100 is rich with the current exchange rate.

Amazing! I'd love to read more about this! This is something that really fascinates me and I'd love to learn more. This is the best thing I've read about all day and really provides me with hope for the future.

Can you please provide citations so that I can read more about it?

With respect to bike riding and eating with out dropping stuff I can only refer you to the usual child rearing manuals, as for cross dead generation communication I can only cite BS.

Sorry to disappoint. But my beautiful Indigo daughter did help me win £100 this weekend.
 
$200 is pretty rich for a toddler. I'm impressed. Now if only I could remember what I meant about the indigo fridge...
 
Woooo, another Indigo Children thread has been resurrected! Cosmic! ;)

Seriously, though, over at Skeptical Community an "Indigo Child" has revived an old thread, and despite initially trying to prove the existence of her spirit guide, she now seems to be doubting what her mother has raised her to believe.
 
Not really Indigo-related, but here's a teaser from the local Fox affiliate a couple of weeks ago:
"Your kids might be proof of reincarnation. What to look for, and how to handle it, on Fox News Chicago at Nine."
How the talking heads can read this stuff on the air with a straight face I'll never know.

They just keep their six figure salaries in mind.
 
And this is the first and only time you've bought a lottery ticket and let the kid pick the numbers, right? (BTW, you're better off by £100 less all the tickets you've bought including those that didn't pay off.)

As for the original thing: children learn the meanings of most words without having to be taught them explicitly. The fact that you might not remember having referred to the photo as "Grandad" in the kid's presence really doesn't mean anything.

Just to be clear the Grand National is a horse race, not a lottery, probably the most famous horse race event in the UK. So nope not the first time I've bought a lottery ticket, I don't play the lottery.

Please re-read my initial post, again just to be clear, I do not in any way believe my child is an Indigo. The purpose of my post was entirely tongue-in-cheek, was I too subtle?

Some people cannot recognize subtlety, even when slapped in the face with it.
 
Nero, please read other posts of people claiming to be or have Indigo children and let us know which ones are tongue-in-cheek!
 
I've been able to point to pictures of my grandfather for going on 22 years now, but nobody's bothered to make a fuss about it. No fair! I'm an Indigo, dammit.

And an Inigo! Ha ha! I am not left handed!
 
strathmeyer, okay not particularly toungue-in-cheek, but I do feel this comment from my initial post makes my stand point fairly clear.

I of course do not subscribe to any of that particular BS

The original point I was trying to make, perhaps badly, was that if you take all the random stuff that kids get up to/say it would be pretty damned easy to cheery pick certain events to make it look like something other than coincidence going on
 
I admit--I missed the sarcasm--or was overly swayed by subsequent posts. (You sometimes need to wave a flag for me to catch on.)

My bad.

It's not really a defense, but there are plenty of woo posters whose threads begin, "I'm a skeptic but. . . ."

To make it plain: I do NOT put you in that category. Just offering a mostly lame excuse.
 
I thought "indigo kid" was just a woo's way of dealing with the fact that their child has some kind of mental disorder. :confused:

Nope. That's what you might think at first glimpse, but the folks who thought this up are NUTS. The folks on the site at the link claim Kryon is an extraterrestrial "spirit guide" who told them all these things about children and the future and the future evolution of human beings. "Indigo Children" are the next advance in humanity, and parents will need help in dealing with them until all parents and children are "Indigos."

My wife was under the same impression as you are - that "Indigo Children" is some kind of nice expression for children with a particular set of developmental or personal problems. She had attended a meeting where someone was preaching the Indigo crap, but pitched as a parenting aid. She came home all thrilled to have found a new way to deal with our daughter - who is just a lively, head strong kid.

A couple of minutes on the internet turned up the Indigo/Space Aliens connection, and my wife dropped the Indigo crap like a hot rock.
 
There is little a parent will not do for their child. And by extension, nothing they will not attribute to their offspring (providing it is positive and special). As a parent, I am no exception. However, it is the profiteering and misinformation of folks like the criminal Lou Carroll (aka Kryon), anti-vaccination types and others who would have us believe the truly absurd and dangerous.

Our children need our honest appraisal as much as our unconditional love.
