Indigo Children

The term Indigo Child was brought to light when a book written by Jan Tober and Lee Carol entitled “Indigo Children” was published in 1992. These people are said to be highly intuitive, sensitive, "other-worldly", mature, yet also often times misdiagnosed as ADD/ADHD. They typically have little interest in structured learning, yet are highly curious. There are differing schools of thought determining the advent of Indigos, some believe the phenomena began in the early 70's while others think they themselves ushered in the ADD diagnosis to appease the medical community. Irregardless, we can no longer assume Indigo Children are only children, the word "children" is now a term used for classification of the culture.

Sites appropriate for this category will be specific to the diagnosis of, parenting and other resources, personal assistance, or historical data about Indigo Children. Sites dealing with broader parenting resources, or spiritual topics should be listed elsewhere.

Your site will be reviewed by an editor at which time they will determine whether it belongs in the category you submitted it to. Due to the high number of submissions to this category if you submit to the wrong place, an editor may not take the time to relocate it to a more appropriate one.

Note: The Open Directory Project is not like other directories or search engines. Our goal is to provide visitors with high quality web sites, not necessarily a high quantity. If your web site does not meet our basic standards it will not be entered into the directory.
