Indigo Children are a new generation of people believed to possess paranormal gifts, including psychic abilities and clairvoyance. The concept was first introduced by Nancy Ann Tappe, who claimed to see children born with indigo auras. Indigo children are described as more attuned to the world, quick to discover their self-worth, and prone to questioning authority. Many followers argue that the increase in children labeled as ADD and ADHD is due to misunderstood Indigo children being forced into a social mold that doesn’t fit them. Scientists argue that these claims are unsubstantiated and can be harmful.
The term “Indigo Children” refers to a new generation of people supposedly born with paranormal gifts, including psychic abilities and clairvoyance. Believers claim that Indigo children are harbingers of the next wave of human evolution.
The idea of Indigo children was first posed by self-proclaimed psychic Nancy Ann Tappe. Claiming to have the ability to see “auras”, she explains that since the 1970s she has seen more and more children born with indigo auras, indigo being the color of the “third eye chakra”. The concept was further popularized by the team of Lee Carroll and Jan Tober with the publication of their book, The Indigo Children: The New Kids Have Arrived, in 1999. The pair insist that the book was the result of talks with a mysterious entity they called Kyron, a being they describe as a “master of angelic energy”.
In addition to possessing psychic abilities such as telekinesis and the ability to read minds, Indigo children are also described as more attuned to the world, quick to discover their self-worth, and prone to questioning authority. New Age experts say these children can often exhibit “old soul eyes,” refuse to queue, rebel against ritualized systems that don’t require creativity, display antisocial tendencies, and experience “multidimensional awareness.”
Many followers of the indigo children theory argue that the increase in children labeled as attention deficit disorder (ADD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is no coincidence. They say most of the children who suffer under these labels are simply misunderstood Indigo children, being forced into a social mold that simply doesn’t fit them. They also argue that medicating these children can only exacerbate matters as children tend to lose many of their gifts – including their high self-esteem and their propensity for creative thinking – when forced to take prescription drugs.
Scientists, on the other hand, point out that the claims made by proponents of the Indigo child theory are unsubstantiated and unverifiable. They also argue that erroneous beliefs in this type of pseudoscience can prove harmful to the children involved, as psychological and behavioral problems are left largely undiagnosed.
