Awaking Your Clair-Abilities – Day 10

What Parents & Teachers Can Do

As and Indigo child and teacher of Indigo children, I realized some basic things about Indigos which nurture an empowering relationship:

• Make them your partner in raising them in this world.
• No matter what their age (even as infants) explain everything you are doing to them, even if you think they don’t understand. They do.
• Indigos need an answer to the why of things. Always be willing to explain the why and how-come of your choices, yet not from an authoritative perspective.
• Give them choice, choice, choice.
• Keep your word, don’t react or give orders to them, talk situation over and use “time-outs” if you’ve disciplined them. Be a stable, calm and fair adult for them.
• Give them praise and understand that belittling them is disastrous.
• Above all, treat them with respect. Honor their soul as the autonomous and capable human they are.

A Word on ADHD & Learning Disabilities

Many Indigo and gifted children are falsely labeled with learning disabilities or ADHD. In addition, they are quickly treated with medications like Ritalin or Cylert as there is a sense of not knowing what else to do about the child’s hyperactivity, low performance at school, or what appears to be a difficult or out-of-control student. Once tested, it’s not uncommon to learn these students actually have very high IQs. There is hope! If this sounds like your situation, consider seeking out of formal testing through the counselors and psychologists at your child’s school.

Meditation & Changing How We See Our Children

Already, we are seeing the implementation of meditation centers in U.S. schools thanks to the profound work of Jon Kabat-Zinn, creator of Mindfulness Meditation. One day; even kindergarteners will be partaking in some sort of meditation every day. Children are beginning to align with their higher selves and become rooted and grounded in spiritual practice early in life and this amazing transition will only blossom. Your awareness of this assists the transition.
