Since the 1980s people have been writing about the indigo children. Today, many believe that nearly 80 percent of all children born are indigos. These are exceedingly creative, high-energy, perceptive kids who often don’t fit in. They seem to have an awareness that is light years beyond their age and quite often they are labeled as ADD, ADHD, or ODD when in actuality they are, in the words of the Dosicks, simply “children of spirit.” What sets this book apart from other books is that it approaches the issues facing indigos on a spiritual-energetic rather than purely cognitive level, and it is prescriptive, teaching a specially developed set of games that can help heal indigo children both in their own bodies and in their earthly relationships. Here the Dosicks name seventeen particular emotional wounds indigos hold in their bodies and give specific exercises for healing each one. The games have proven enormously helpful to these often-troubled kids—even preteens and teenagers. They celebrate the children’s different ways of perception and calm their agitation. The games involve some hands-on healing techniques, some scripted meditations, and other quick and simple techniques. Each game takes no more than two minutes to play, and this book features 101 black-and-white photographs showing parents exactly how to use the practices.

A must for the parents of unusually bright and active children! The Indigo Child is a boy or girl who displays a new and unusual set of psychological attributes, revealing a pattern of behavior generally undocumented before. This pattern has singularly unique factors that call for parents and teachers to change their treatment and upbringing of these kids to assist them in achieving balance and harmony in their lives, and to help them avoid frustration. In this groundbreaking book, international authors and lecturers Lee Carroll andJan Tober answer many of the often-puzzling questions surrounding Indigo Children,such as: · Can we really be seeing human evolution in kids today? · Are these kids smarter than we were at their age? · How come a lot of our children today seem to be “system busters”? · Why are so many of our brightest kids being diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)? · Are there proven working alternatives to Ritalin? Throughout this work, Carroll and Tober bring together some very fine minds (doctors, educators, psychologists, and more) who shed light on the Indigo Child phenomenon. These children are truly special, representing a great percentage of all the kids being born today on a worldwide basis. They come in “knowing” who they are—so they must be recognized, celebrated for their exceptional qualities, and guided with love and care.

Indigos are awaking in great numbers to the gentle call of a living universe. Some are cherished and nurtured, but most are forced to struggle with the emotional pain of misunderstanding. Yet, each will feel the same need to explore their own 'Indigo-ness' and their own destiny of evolution and contact. Indigos are here to help humanity achieve its oldest dream - universal harmony. They will do it by living in service-to-others in the hope of seeing humanity overcome its service-to-self failings. When that happens, our civilizations will no longer grow quickly, erode slowly and then die suddenly. Rather, they will last and they will know love. As we evolve, off-world races will freely contract us, and Indigos will become our honest liaisons, for they will instinctively know friend from foe. All are born to this role, but not all are destined to fulfill it. This book is dedicated to those who do, and it offers helpful suggestions for future encounters. Are You an Indigo? The term "Indigo" describes the hue of the aura (life energy color) that surrounds an Indigo, according to psychic Nancy Ann Tappe, but this is not the only measure. An Indigo will also possess a high IQ, an indomitable sense-of-self and a strong psychic intuition. Born to a natural knowing of things, they quickly sense goodness, compassion, evil intent and crisis in others. How do true Indigos define themselves? Through their feelings. Do these questions sound familiar? Am I a recent genetic freak of nature, as the "experts" suggest? Why am I so out-of-sync with this materialistic, consumption-driven society about me? Why, when all I crave is oneness with the universe, do others subjugate me with emotional abuse and drugs? Is there any purpose to my life that can possibly justify all this emotional pain? The true Indigo instinctively knows that the answers to such questions are found within. Only in this way, can they resonate completely. Regrettably, the quest within is all-to-often marked by the loneliness and emotional pain caused by those who do not understand Indigos, or worse yet, fear them. Still, each Indigo must eventually accept the responsibility of his or her own knowledge quest as no two are exactly alike. For this reason, the author wrote this book in the hope of giving comfort to young Indigos, by sharing knowledge gained through his own quest. It is also to say to every Indigo, "Each of us follows a different quest, but we all feel and understand your pain. Put it aside and revel in your 'Indigo-ness' and know that you are not alone "

Indigo people hold great hope for the future - the promise of a new humanity and civilization. They are visionary and creative, progressive and independent. They carry new energies and manifest different ways of thinking and feeling. Are you an indigo adult soul and just don't know it? This book will help you identify if you (and your children) are Indigos, and will help you understand yourself more clearly.

From two of the top child and adolescent psychiatrists at The Hospital for Sick Children comes an accessible guide to common mental health struggles, such as anxiety and depression, for any parent wondering how to help their child. Is my child okay? Is she eating and sleeping enough? Is he hanging out with the right people? Should I be worried that she spends all her time in her room? Is this just a phase? Or a sign of something serious? As parents, we worry about our children—about their physical health, performance at school, the types of friends they have, and, of course, their mental health. Every day seems to bring new and expanding issues and disorders and troubling statistics about the rise of mental illness in children and teens.

Pier Bryden and Peter Szatmari, top child and adolescent psychiatrists, are here to help. Using their combined six decades working with families and kids—and their own experiences as parents—they break down the stigma of mental health illness and walk parents through the warning signs, risk factors, prevention strategies, and the process of diagnosis and treatment for mental health challenges arising from: –Eating disorders –Anxiety –Psychosis –Sleep Disorders –Substance Use Disorders –ADHD –Autism –Depression –Trauma –Suicidal thoughts and behaviors The most important thing to remember as a parent is that you and your child are not alone. Wellness is a continuum, and there is a lot parents can do to bring their child back to a place of safety.

Indigos are special people that come to Earth to help others. They often have an intense, warrior-like presence that may intimidate others. They come to Earth to speak their truth and cannot tolerate injustice or lies of any kind. They are sensitive and sometimes feel like they absorb the world's problems. They feel misunderstood and like they are never quite normal. They may have felt like they were dropped off on the wrong planet at some point in their lives. Indigo Adults may have had dysfunctional childhoods. The anger they have always felt deep down may cause them to want to express themselves in out-of-the-ordinary ways. They may be pierced or tattooed. They are often unable to filter the words that come out of their mouths. They may surprise or even irritate you with their truth, but they are usually willing to say the things that others are thinking but just afraid to say. They are soldiers, police officers, protesters, whistle blowers, and defenders. They are children that sometimes present a challenge for their families. They have an abundance of energy, and anger is a natural part of the essence of an Indigo. Sometimes they don't know what makes them angry, but that anger helps to propel them towards their life purpose. They are here to lead the way by traditional or nontraditional means. They will change the rules that no longer make sense and defend the ones that do. They are light. They are love. They are important. They are Indigo Warriors.

Focusing on narratives with supernatural components, Karen J. Renner argues that the recent proliferation of stories about evil children demonstrates not a declining faith in the innocence of childhood but a desire to preserve its purity. From novels to music videos, photography to video games, the evil child haunts a range of texts and comes in a variety of forms, including changelings, ferals, and monstrous newborns. In this book, Renner illustrates how each subtype offers a different explanation for the problem of the “evil” child and adapts to changing historical circumstances and ideologies.
