Indigo and Crystal Children

Indigo children
Indigo children possess an extremely high consciousness and intelligence accompanied by high activity levels. Their purpose is to bring about positive change in the world and they have the latent energy and drive required to make them leaders in the different fields of endeavor. These children can be identified by their tendency to challenge conventional thinking and behaviour and this makes it difficult for them to adapt to traditional methods of education, as they may be perceived as hyperactive, uncooperative and disinterested. Indigo children are thus better suited to the more holistic tutoring styles and individualistic educational approaches that are offered by some private schools.
Nurturing your indigo child
Apart from normal child-rearing practices, parents of indigo children have an added responsibility to create an environment where their children will be able to unfold their full potential. However, they must not fall prey to the recent populist approach to allow them to do as they please, as many years of research into child development have shown that all children, even gifted ones, require boundaries and firm guidance in the form of consistent discipline from both parents, especially at an early age (Fein, 1978). Fortunately, the universe is cognisant of these facts and these children will generally choose to be born into a family where at least one of the parents recognises their special gifts, has the ability to correctly nurture them and takes the appropriate steps.
Crystal children
Crystal children can be identified by their affinity for nature, especially animals and crystals. They are less outgoing and certainly more reserved than indigo children, but have natural gifts of healing and clairvoyance. Their purpose is to assist with healing, including the healing of the planet as a whole. Having a close affinity to nature, they will often speak of fairies and with the proper training, will actually be able to communicate with these natural energies as well as with animals.
Nurturing your crystal child
Crystal children will generally have no problem with schoolwork, except possibly boredom, as they are also exceptionally intelligent. They can cope with a mainsteam school, but obviously a more holistic private educational institution will be an added benefit. They should be encouraged to enter the healing profession in some form or another. And it would also be a good idea to place such a child under the regular tutorship of a number of spiritual teachers in order to learn the different natural healing modalities (including crystal work), and to unfold their full natural potential. Once again, parents have the responsibility to guide and mentor the crystal child, who will also generally be born into a family where at least one of the parents is able to perform this task.
