Peace,

My name is Imani and I'm the mother of an 8 year old who I feel is an indigo child.  She is smart, inquistive, sweet, and right now I'm having problems with her behavior in school.  I'm exhausted and need advise on how to deal with her.  The school is ready to label my child adhd.  She is very sensitive to vibrations. What can I do?  I've started the positive affirmations before she goes to school, but what else could I do to help her out?

peace

Hi Imani

I know what you mean when you say you're exhausted. My 8 year old indigo (son) wears me out. He's also very sensitive to vibrations and has difficulties sleeping every night, often waking up. He's 'worried' in his own words, but what about he doesn't know. It's not burglars, nor monsters etc. Do you have this sort of thing with yours?

I'm not really sure what to do suggest about the school wanting to label your daughter adhd. Obviously it would be good not to be labelled! Can I suggest this to you to calm her down; it's something a healer told my son to do. Stand (barefoot and on grass or the bare ground is best) and take deep breaths, pushing the excess energy downwards from the head into the earth. Do 3 sets of 3. Move your hands in a downward motion at your sides, as though physically pushing it down through your body and legs. It's a way of equalising one's excess energy, and sharing it with the earth's grid (so that's nice too - giving their excess energy to other creatures and things who need some.) My son often resists doing this as I think he finds it a bit tedious, but try it and let mke know how it works for your daughter.

Wishing you the best

Hi Imani -

Check some of the other posts.  I have given information on how to teach your child to put a "bubble" of protection around him/her before they go to school.  As far as the label, ADHD, once your child is labeled that label will stick with them all the way through school and you will find that many schools/teachers won't even take the time to get to know your child - they will just assume your child has some type of learning disability.  As far as the children go, they will believe what they hear the teachers say - even if it's not about them directly, they will still believe it - especially negative comments.  If your child is labeled, they will expect you to start taking the medications that seem to be handed out like candy.  I have been there - my son got labeled at the end of 2nd grade.  He once told a principal that if "you don't believe I can do it, why should I try?"  The principal did not get it.  Many teachers don't understand how Indigo's work so you must be the advocate for your child.

First, find out how your child learns.  There are many good resources, including my book "Recognizing the Greatness in Each Child - Because Learning Differently Doesn't Mean Learning Diabled - available at www.amazon.com.  Nutrition is the 2nd issue to address.  Find out if there are certain times of day when the behaviors are worse and them find out if those times coordinate with snack or lunches.  Many school lunches are very high in carbohydrates which quickly turn to sugar in an Indigo's body - adding to the "hyperactivity" they experience.  The 3rd issue is to determine if you are going to go with pharmaceutical treatment if your child is diagnosed.  If you choose to use natural/herbal means to help balance your child's body, look for a local herbalist or naturopathic doctor that is familiar with herbal remedies.  You can also check out my other book - Plants vs Pills - Herbal Options for the Treatment of Childhood Diagnosed Mental, Emotional and Behavioral Disorders; also available at www.amazon.com. 

If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me.
