Psychic Children: Indigo Kids of the Paranormal

Psychic Children, often referred to as Indigo children, exhibit a remarkable set of behavioral, emotional, and spiritual traits that set them apart from previous generations. First identified around 1978, these children are believed to carry a high vibrational frequency and possess a strong intuitive awareness. The term “Indigo” was inspired by the deep blue or violet color seen in their auras—indicative of their spiritual connection and evolved consciousness.

Who Are the Indigo Children?

Indigo children often arrive with a sense of purpose and a knowing that they are different. From a young age, they exude confidence and demand respect. Many adults describe them as old souls—wise beyond their years and often nonconformist. They thrive on meaningful conversations and expect to be treated as equals, regardless of their age.

Unlike traditional children, Psychic Children like the Indigos will not follow rules “just because.” They need to understand why a rule exists. “Because I said so” simply doesn’t cut it. These children are here to challenge outdated systems, rebuild what’s broken, and inspire change with their bold, creative insights.

Common Traits of Psychic Children

• Feel a sense of royalty and expect to be treated with dignity

• Strong need for mutual respect and eye contact during communication

• Crave choice and freedom, even in how they’re disciplined

• Dislike rigid rules, uniformity, or authoritarian teaching styles

• Often express deep spiritual insights or memories from before birth

• May show signs of psychic ability—seeing spirits, sensing energy, or recalling past lives

Psychic Children often experience restlessness or boredom in traditional environments. Their minds are highly active, and their hearts long for something more meaningful. You might hear your child say something profound like, “Mommy, before I was born, I knew we’d live in the mountains.”

Teaching Psychic Children: What Educators Need to Know

Having spent years teaching in Montessori, charter, and Native American schools, I’ve seen firsthand what Psychic Children need in the classroom. Here’s what I’ve learned:

• Short attention spans and high energy require engaging, hands-on learning

• These children prefer customized learning styles, especially in subjects like math

• If they feel they’ve failed, they may shut down or give up easily

• Frustration often arises when they can’t bring their big ideas into reality

• Creative, intuitive learning environments help them thrive

Flexible Curriculum for Evolved Learners

Indigo children do best when the system adapts to them—not the other way around. In my classrooms, students had a say in how and when they learned. We co-created standards, structured our days together, and honored each student’s individual rhythm.

These children crave respect, autonomy, and a safe space to express themselves. Does your child’s school environment honor their uniqueness?

Teaching Strategies for Psychic Children

• Build a partnership with them—don’t just instruct, collaborate

• Give choices as often as possible

• Speak with them, not at them

• Provide clear explanations for rules and decisions

• Stay calm, consistent, and fair in discipline

• Praise their efforts and ideas; avoid criticism that diminishes their spirit

Psychic Children are not only bright and intuitive—they’re also emotionally sensitive. Treating them with respect and empathy fosters lifelong confidence and trust.

Mislabeling Psychic Children: A Word on ADHD & Learning Differences

Many Psychic Children are mistakenly diagnosed with ADHD or learning disabilities. Their high energy and need for meaningful learning are often misunderstood in traditional classrooms. In truth, many of these kids have exceptionally high IQs and unique cognitive gifts.

Before accepting a diagnosis, consider professional evaluations through your child’s school or a holistic specialist. Often, what looks like a disorder is simply a mismatch between the child and the environment.

Essential Oils to Support Your Psychic Child

Essential oils can help Psychic Children stay grounded, balanced, and connected to their inner wisdom. Here are a few to consider:

• For energy balance: Rose, Joy, Harmony—apply topically to the sacral chakra

• For spiritual clarity: Frankincense—apply to temples, crown, or soles of feet

• To cleanse home/learning environments: Diffuse Thieves, Lemon, or Purification

• To ease restlessness or ADHD-like symptoms: Lavender or Peace & Calming on feet at bedtime

• To improve focus and clarity: Peppermint on the temples or third eye

These natural tools support high-vibrational children in navigating an often overwhelming world.

What Parents of Psychic Children Need to Know

As a former Indigo child and now a teacher to many, here’s my heartfelt advice for raising Psychic Children:

• Explain everything—even to infants. They understand more than you think.

• Avoid authoritarian discipline—they need the “why” behind every decision.

• Offer choices in daily routines and family decisions.

• Stay calm and consistent—emotional chaos can deeply affect them.

• Honor their uniqueness—they are not here to conform.

Above all, remember that Psychic Children are here to guide us into a new way of being. Respect their soul’s journey, and they will flourish.
