What do you get when you combine that asinine New-Age "Indigo" phenomenon with B-List celebrity inanity attention-seeking?

Jenny has a 4-year-old son, Evan, who is a Crystal child.
Wha? Like if you drop Evan he'll shatter into a million sharp little pieces?

Wondering about the various characteristics of Indigo and Crystal children?

HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE AN INDIGO CHILD?
These children are special in that they are the new leaders of the future. These children are born after 1980.
Fuck! I guess I can't be an indiglo child, then. Damn it!

This sums up the Indigo Child phenomenon perfectly for me:
The day I found out I was an adult Indigo will stay with me forever. I was walking hand in hand with my son down a Los Angeles street when this women approached me and said, “You’re an Indigo and your son is a Crystal.” I immediately replied, “Yes!” and the woman smiled at me and walked away. I stood there for a moment, because I had no idea what the heck an Indigo and Crystal was, but I seemed so sure of it when I had blurted out “Yes!”

Yeah, you just have Developmental and Behavioral Problems, just like all the other kids who acted Crystal or Indigo before they decided Crystal or Indigo was a nicer way of saying "Developmental and Behavioral Problems."

I daren't quote from it. Seriously, Cock Rub Warriors was less offensive to my sensibilities.

People who are uncomfortable with uncertainty will fill it with any number of silly things. This is one in a long line of absurdities.
I mean this is no more offensively ludicrous to me than angels or scientology or being an augur. (Well I guess in the last bit you're killing something for no rational reason.) Just because a "celebrity" is attached to it doesn't mean I get any more irritated by it than any other.
I mean we are talking about Jenny McCarthy anyway right? The woman who used to appear in Candies ads on the toilet and make "funny" faces on cameras in an effort to be "wacky"? Yeah... NEXT!

This pisses me off far less than Christian Science though, which is neither Christian nor Science and is basically a religious allowance for child abuse.
The Indiglo kids aren't really being abused except that their lives are filled with bullshit ideas, which of course is harmful too.
"You can't fire me! I'm a former Indiglo Child!"

Q: I have an 8-year-old Indigo daughter. She cannot grasp the concept of time, space, dates, months, math, etc. Is this typical for Indigos? If so, why?
"Indigo" children, so called because of the blue-purple hue of their EXTRA CHROMOSOME.

Christ. Select pointers from the Wiki article's 'characteristics' list:
# They come into the world with a feeling of royalty (and often act like it). (Read: Act spoilt and wish to be waited on hand and foot)
# They have a feeling of "deserving to be here," and are surprised when others do not share that. (Read: Feel like they own the place)
# They simply will not do certain things; for example, waiting in line is difficult for them. (Read: Impatient)
# They are not shy in letting it be known what they need. (Read: Demanding)
# Refuse to follow orders or directions. (Read: Disobedient and selgiraffe)
# Get bored rather easily with assigned tasks. (Read: Low attention span)
These seem to be just bratty kids who have a Mommy that can't believe their little darling has been raised the wrong way. Obviously, the child is just misunderstood and special. "Why is my child acting like a spoilt brat? He's an Indigo child, in case you didn't know!"
In the cases when the child has mental problems, this is very sad. It basically seems a way for an ashamed parent to avoid the doctors and explain their child's odd or different behaviour as a sympton of them being 'better' than other children. The worst way to help a child with Behaviour or Development problems is to ignore those problems and pass them off as the child being 'an Indigo kid'.
Christ.

So that's why Indigo Prophecy was named that!
God, what a shitty video game that was. I hated that game. It had so much potential and then blew it all out its ass.
Is this symbolic of the entire Indigo Child concept? Perhaps!
-
quite frankly, I'm afraid to click the link, now that I've read the snippets posted here.
-
Yeah, I figured someone would catch that.
-
I totally came in here expecting to read about how the indigo girls were pregnant together or something.
I don't even really know who the indigo girls are.
Believing your child is special because they act like a douche is nothing new, but future leaders of the world may be pushing it. Then again, the squeaky wheel gets the oil I guess. Just all the other wheels hate it and wish it would just OD on heroin or something.
And Indigo Prophecy was a fine game (admittedly with a pretty dumb ending) but the first two thirds were lots of fun for me.

Being born in the 70's, I was an Infrared Child. My presence was felt, but largely ignored.

Pretty much everyone told me how great Indigo Prophecy was and how much I would love it because I liked the old point-and-click adventure games. Then I got to the part where you wake up in your apartment, and I saw an indistinguishable blob on the floor. When I walked over to it, an icon I had no idea how to interpret appeared. I activated the icon and found that I was holding a bloody rag and the game would not let me put it down or even shove it in my pocket as a cop appeared and knocked at the door. I dunno, maybe I would've put up with that in an old point-and-click game after all but it was just the dumbest, least enjoyable aspect of those games and it was writ large right up front.

I agree COMPLETELY. In some of my education (teacher ed graduate level) courses, there was a tiny bit of crap about Indigo Children. My first thought? "Oh, another name for the Ferris-Bueller's-Day-Off-'what a little asshole!' sort of kid" (you know, when the hilarious main office secretary sighs after dealing with Jeannie, and says, "What a little asshole"?
