Question

Is INDIGO the politically correct way to say my child has HUGE issues?

Answer 1

Because they are indigo children,I'm sure they actually have much less issues then most children.

Answer 2

yeah, ive seen it used a little bit loosely.

Answer 3

Not really PC if you're not specifying what those HUGE issues are...those huge issues could be compulsive lying, stealing, etc.

Answer 4

i think someone here has some issues, politically correct or not.

Answer 5

No.  'Indigo' children are supposed to have certain psychic or spiritual abilities (which are not well defined) which may or may not be accompanied by psychological abnormalities.  That said, the way they're often brought up by New Age dopers is likely to *create* issues.

Answer 6

It's a politically correct way to say you're bad at parenting and you're looking for excuses.

"Indigo children" and "crystal children" are New Agey crapola which tries to explain away antisocial, selfish behavior in children as something supposedly good.

Answer 7

no, an indigo child is a child that is extremely smart, and wise for their age. politically correct is bad parents.

Answer 8

A shade of purple? I would say so....

Indigo is the color on the spectrum between about 450 and 420 nanometers in wavelength, placing it between blue and violet. Color scientists do not usually recognize indigo as a significant color category, and generally classify wavelengths shorter than about 450 nm as violet.[1]

Indigo and violet are different from purple, which cannot be seen on the electromagnetic spectrum but can be achieved by mixing blue light with red light.

One can see spectral indigo by looking at the reflection of a fluorescent tube in a non-recordable compact disc. This works because the CD functions as a diffraction grating, and a fluorescent lamp generally has a peak at 435.833 nm (from mercury), as is visible on the fluorescent lamp spectrum.

Answer 9

The whole "indigo child" thing is a lot if new age bull****. It is a way for parents to excuse the appalling and undisciplined behavior of their poorly raised children.

Answer 10

I'm not into labels, and I wouldn't even know how to distinguish one child from another in that way. Simply put everyone has varying degrees of sensitivities, from very little to way more than they can handle.

I doubt anyone here has children on the highly sensitive scale, or you might be more empathetic.
