Press Release Body = (Washington, D.C.) January 24, 2006 - Indigo kids should be welcomed and celebrated - instead of being forced to change who they are - because they possess advantageous qualities society needs. Individuals with the qualities of Indigo children exhibit superior traits necessary for extraordinary achievements in the arts, sciences and business.
Doctors and teachers often want to medicate Indigo kids in order to change who they are and make them conform to society. Schools reward those who are compliant, attentive and methodical.
But Indigo kids are creative innovators like iPod inventor Steve Jobs; passionate, intuitive feelers such as Bono and Johnny Depp who thrive as performing artists; visionaries like Richard Branson whose energy, persistence and willingness to challenge the norm lead to breakthroughs in science and technology.
Anita Martin, Founder of parenting organization Celebrate! Indigo Kids, asserts the following: · Indigo kids possess superior traits their peers do not possess.
· Society desperately needs the energy, creativity, imagination, vision, passion and persistence that only Indigo children possess.
· Indigo kids don\'t need to be changed through medication - Celebrate Indigo Kids has witnessed an 85% reduction in use of Ritalin by working with a child\'s nature instead of against it.
· The best writers, directors, actors, musicians and inventors share the qualities of Indigo kids - force them to change their nature and you may as well shut down Blockbuster, Barnes & Noble and Best Buy.
"Rather than try to change our kids to be like everyone else, we need to equip them to use their gifts and talents to help others," Martin says.
Indigo kids are experiential, hands-on doers. They prefer action to listening, experimenting to studying. They like to challenge the established norms.
"We must learn to reach and teach Indigo kids more effectively," Martin adds.
