The Indigo Children phenomenon is just a code word for what happens when parents too lazy or deluded to discipline their children. Or the result of charlatans preying on desperate parents of children with legitimate medical conditions as a way to say their child is special, and avoid giving them the medical treatment they need

I bet you support still having corporal punishment in public school.
Anyway - - - sensitives have been around for ever. Its just more open and accepted now.
America's sensitives have been squashed by Christian dominance. Other cultures celebrate children showing sensitive abilities.
Acceptance allows emergence.

I hope you never have children.

It's just the descriptions of 'sensitives' sound like a child that is either spoiled or has a medical condition, and bears a striking resemblance to Holden Caulfield.

Call out frauds, great, I'm all for it. Let's just tone down the meds for kids talk.
Kids have a huge range of development, abilities and needs. I have volunteered at my kids Kindergarten and seen how even then the curriculum is oppressive and can crush the spirit out of some children. It is designed to turn kids into obedient, group thinking robots. Some parents realize this and encourage as much creativity and independent thinking outside of school as possible.
So when the kid rebels at straight-jacketed learning at school, some may see it as a problem, some may see it as a good thing. And I'm not talking rudeness, bullying or violence - those should not be tolerated and be disciplined. I'm just talking about things like not being able to pay attention, talking, doing unscripted activities etc. Some believe meds should be given for traits like that - and that scares me.edit on 7-7-2012 by PlanetXisHERE because: correction

I know that I had OBE's - and other experiences since first memory. That would be about 1949. Long before anyone publicly discussed such things - - including my own mother.
Experiences of this nature to a young child are normal - - - and the child assumes everyone else has these same such experiences - - - so there is no reason to bring them to anyone's attention.
When a child does express an "experience" - - it fully depends on who is listening - - if the child feels comfortable in the expression or must suppress it.
