Ever hear of the Indigo Children?

In the 80's this was a big thing with the so- called New Age movement. It suggested that some kids were being born with superior knowledge or gifts, supposedly highly evolved.

I was very opposed to the idea. 1. Because there was no real evidence of such a thing.
2. It could have led to behavioral problems with the "Indigo" thinking he/she was superior to a peer group. Also, a lack of esteem or a sense of failure for not reaching unrealistic expectations.

Ever hear of this?

Yes, unfortunately I have; I live in southern California, the home of such nonsense. The fantasies of the New Age people run wild here; they have too much time on their hands and enough money to afford all those silly seminars.

@greenmountaingal So. Ca. and Sedona Az. Sedona being one of the most beautiful spots in the world spoiled now by a population it cannot support and overrun by new age wacko's.

@Grateful4you Thank you for giving me Best Answer. I last saw Sedona, AZ in the late 1970s and it was beautiful. I guess I won't be going back!

@greenmountaingal There are still great wilderness areas outside of town and winter isn't too overwrought with tourist. And you're welcome for BA!
