The term "Indigo Children" entered the lexicon in 1982, when psychic and author Nancy Ann Tappe, who classified people according to their auras, talked about the coming indigo age in her book Understanding Your Life Through Colour 25 years ago. Since then, the concept has expanded to include Crystals and Rainbows-all children born in the last decade or two who have psychic and other gifts destined to create a new world. Forget the Age of Aquarius, and hang on tight-we're headed for the Fifth World!
In The Complete Idiot's Guide to Indigo Children, the authors explain why Indigo Children are high maintenance, needing-and demanding!-loads of attention: they tend to think holistically and intuitively, and they process emotions differently. These differences sometimes lead others to believe that Indigo Children's brains are wired in a whole new way. While that may or may not be true, parenting these high-level children is a challenge, and their school years may be challenging. But what else would you expect from a generation poised to change the world?
