Indigo Children - Top 10 Tips for Parenting Indigos

1. BE HONEST
   Give complete explanations as much as possible for their intelligence and maturity.

2. DON'T MANIPULATE
   No guilt trips. They don't work with Indigos.

3. SHOW THEM RESPECT
   They are only smaller in age, but often wiser in spirit. Don't talk down to them, they will resent it. Show respect. Treat them as equals as much as possible. Let them help to create rules and the consequences. Make sure they have limits that will protect them.

4. EMPOWER THEM
   Let them develop autonomy by doing as much as they can themselves. Let them choose clothing. Teach them to bathe themselves at a young age.

5. RESPECT THEIR PSYCHIC SKILLS
   Help to develop these metagifted talents with practice, classes, and encouragement.

6. TEACH THEM ENERGY SHIELDING and GROUNDING SKILLS
   Indigos are very sensitive to emotions. They will have severe mood swings and the moods are often caused by picking up on the energies of others around them. Training in various energy healing techniques can help with this.

7. TEACH THEM RELAXATION SKILLS and MEDITATION
   These skills will help them be better able to handle life, find balance, and connect with the spirit world.

8. RESPECT THEIR EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL SENSITIVITY
   which is bound to be extreme and seem unusual, but they're NOT kidding and they may need your help to tolerate these feelings.

9. FIND ALTERNATE THERAPY FOR ADD AND OTHER DIFFABILITIES
   Don't give them medication such as Ritalin, etc, for ADD or other 'diffabilities'. Find alternate means of working with these behaviors, such as nutritional supplements, flower essences, behavioral modifications, and allowing student choices in learning.

10. HELP THEM DEVELOP AWARENESS OF THEIR INDIGO NATURE
    AND THEIR MISSION IN LIFE
    The Indigos are all here for a reason. They have unique behavioral characteristics so they will be better able to help bring in the new energies and help improve the world. Until they realize this, they may have great difficulty dealing with their humanity and handling the difficulties of being oversensitive and different. If they learn there is a reason for their differences, they will be better able to handle them and work towards their mission of planetary ascension.
