The iChildhood It is a very complex stage of life with much to celebrate and, at times, a world of insecurities for new parents. Each child is a world with different patterns of behavior that we must observe. Parents tend to consider certain attitudes as “normal” without being aware of the number of factors that may be affecting these attitudes.

That's why in Psychia We wanted to investigate to know more about childhood and its variants, specifically, about the indigo children.

The term “indigo child” It has begun to be used in a context of the so-called “New Age”. It is mainly used to refer to those children who could be found in a higher stratum in terms of human evolution. This evolution is identified with a step ahead in the field ethical and mental. For Charles Darwin it would correspond to a selection and variation due to differential survival.

The moderate current indicates that indigo children have greater ability to empathize or greater creativity.

Whatever profession they occupy, creativity will always be present in their lives, whether as researchers if they work in the world of medicine or as actors if they work in the field of performing arts, for example. It is said that in the period of time between 4 and 10 years they could be immersed in up to 15 activities related to creativity. They would dedicate 5 minutes to each one and then abandon them.

They are children who generally direct their lives towards working with the masses, occupying jobs as doctors, lawyers, teachers, politicians or merchants.

Child psychology is relatively easy, because children's brains have not yet fully developed and it is easier to modify their way of thinking.

A child is like a blank sheet of paper in which it is easier to relocate possibly damaged emotions. In an adult, the emotional burden that he carries makes it difficult for him to abandon the emotions that are hurting him in order to move on to a more adaptive situation. He is afraid of the situation of discomfort and uneasiness that he is going to go through. This fear does not exist in children.

This is partly because The healing process in an adult is more complex. When we are older, we accumulate positive and negative experiences, learning, knowledge and experiences that have influenced childhood traumas. These traumas, relatively simple in childhood, become complex with the baggage of experiences we accumulate behind us.

It is essential that as a society, we continue to promote acceptance and understanding of diversity in child development, recognizing that each child is unique and may have potential that requires specific support and guidance.
