Indigo Children
Indigo children arechildren believed to possess special, unusual, and sometimes supernatural traits or abilities, according to a pseudoscientific New Age concept developed in the 1970s by Nancy Ann Tappe.1 They are believed to be divine creatures with supernatural powers who were sent here from God/Universe/Zuul/fill-in-the-blank to upgrade life as we know it. Indigo children are believed to represent "perhaps the most exciting, albeit odd, change in basic human nature that has ever been observed and documented," according to Lee Carroll and Jan Tober in "The Indigo Children: The New Kids Have Arrived." According to Tappe, they are a group of "highly evolved" individuals, all of whom share certain psychological traits that mark them as existing outside – maybe even above – the norm.0
