Press Release Body = (Washington, D.C.) January 31, 2006 - Parents of Indigo kids are no different than other parents-they want their kids to be winners in life. Like all children, Indigo children face many unique challenges in life.
So what lessons can Indigo families learn from elite athletes preparing to battle for the Super Bowl Championship?
According to Anita Martin, Founder of educational organization Celebrate-Indigo-Kids.com, "Indigo children possess many superior traits necessary for extraordinary achievements in the arts, sciences and business." Martin provides parents with three tips to help cultivate these traits in order to help their children become champions.
Play to Your Strengths. What does every great Super Bowl team have in common? One thing. They capitalize on their strengths. Successful coaches (and parents) build winning teams by cultivating each person\'s natural gifts, talents and passions. They spend most of their time designing a game plan that utilizes their players\' strengths.
Sometimes parents of Indigo children fall into the trap of trying to fix all of their child\'s weaknesses instead of celebrating their talents. The result is frustration and shattered confidence.
Don\'t try to make your children be like someone else. Help them be who they were born to be. Society desperately needs the energy, creativity, imagination, passion and persistence that only Indigo kids possess.
Cultivate A Winning Attitude. Super Bowl Champions have the confidence and belief deep inside that they can be successful. Coaches are constantly telling them that they can win.
Indigo children are often surrounded with negativity and begin to expect failure.
Put your children in situations where they will succeed. Surround them with positive encouragement at home and school. Celebrate small victories and build momentum. Soon your child will believe in himself and think like a champion.
Create the Vision to Achieve A Larger Goal. Hall-of-Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw, who has ADHD and won three Super Bowl rings, attributes his success to his ability to hyper-focus on large goals. The thrill of winning a championship helped him overcome obstacles.
Indigo children like to understand the "WHY" before they do the "WHAT." They thrive when they have a large goal or project to work toward.
So remind your child of his larger goals in life-that he has a bright future ahead of him, and that with persistence and effort, he can overcome obstacles. Focus on purposeful activities-like getting a job, completing a special project or learning a new skill that will help your child achieve his dreams.
Martin insists, "As parents, we have the unique opportunity to cultivate our kids\' amazing gifts and show them how to use their talents to create a special destiny. It works on the football field, at home and in the classroom."
