Indigo Children
One of the very interesting phenomena that is incorporated into the ideology of the New Age movement is that of the Indigo Children or as how they are often referred, the Children of Light. The concept of the Indigo child describes children who The New Age Movement perceives as an evolution of the humanity. The attributes of the Indigo Children are not universal, but differ quite substantially with the various versions, but most often they are believed to possess paranormal abilities, such as mind reading capability. On the other hand, others believe that an Indigo Child is just as normal as every other child, but distinguish itself from others with traits such as intense sensitivity, creativity and others. Such children are considered unique for their special skills, which is not typical for children born until now. The term Indigo children came originally from the 1982 book "Understanding Your Life Through Color," by Nancy Ann Tappe , who was a self-proclaimed psychic, claiming to be able to perceive people's auras. The idea of Indigo children was later popularized by the 1998 book The Indigo Children: The New Kids Have Arrived, written by the husband-and-wife, Lee Carroll and Jan Tober who state: "The Indigo Child is a boy or girl who displays a new and unusual set of psychological attributes, revealing a pattern of behavior generally undocumented before. This pattern has singularly unique factors that call for parents and teachers to change their treatment and upbringing of these kids to assist them in achieving balance and harmony in their lives, and to help them avoid frustration." There's a very good chance that a child born after 1992 is Indigo. Some claim that about 85% or higher of children born in '92 or later, 90% born in '94 or after and 95% or more born now are Indigo Children . There are reports that they started coming in the 80s. A big controversy of the Indigo Children has been the age group that defines them. The most common belief is that

    A child is an active learner who is attracted by the things in this world. He learns everything without knowing he is learning it, and in doing so, he passes little by little from the unconscious to the conscious. Maria Montessori mentioned that the first of the child’s organs to begin functioning are his senses. The period of life between the ages of three and six years covers a period of rapid physical development. It is the time for the formation of the sense activities as related to the intellect. The child in this age develops his senses. His attention is further attracted to the environment under the form of passive curiosity. The development of the senses indeed preceded that of superior intellectual activity. The child between the three and six years is in the period of formation.…

    A child has a special mind and Dr. M. Montessori called it “Absorbent Mind”. She thought that there is nothing more important for the man than his absorbent mind, which creates the adult and adapts him to any kind of climate, country or culture. Without the absorbent mind “…, man could never adapt himself to such different places and habits, nor evolve in his social manners, nor take up such different forms of work.” (M. Montessori 2009, “The Formation of Man” Montessori-Pierson Publishing Company, part 2, chapter 3: The “Nebulae” – “The Function of The Child”, p. 57).…

    A child prodigy is a person who shows his/her extraordinary abilities in early age. These children usually are very good at different things; however, especially their amazing skills in a certain area make them be prodigies. For example, Abigail Sin, a Singaporean young pianist, is also very good at math. Nevertheless, she won in international math competition; Abigail is called a wunderkind because of her unusual musical talent. As other wonders, she discovered her talent at her early age. Afterwards, she constantly practiced playing piano. Some people think that Abigail and other wunderkinds are born, while others argue that they are made. I agree with the latest viewpoints because of the reasons, such as results of American researches, prodigies’ opinions about this issue, and examples of wonders with different talents.…

    Exceptional Children

    • 826 Words
    • 4 Pages

    All children exhibit differences from one another in terms of their physical attributes (e.g., some are shorter, some are stronger) and learning abilities (e.g., some learn quickly and are able to remember and use what they have learned in new situations; others need repeated practice and have difficulty maintaining and generalizing new knowledge and skills). The differences among most children are relatively small, enabling these children to benefit from the general education program. The physical attributes and/or learning abilities of some children, however—those called exceptional children—differ from the norm (either below or above) to such an extent that they require an individualized program of special education and related services to fully benefit from education. The term exceptional children includes children who experience difficulties in learning as well as those whose performance is so superior that modifications in curriculum and instruction are necessary to help them fulfill their potential. Thus, exceptional children is an inclusive term that refers to children with learning and/or behavior problems, children with physical disabilities or sensory impairments, and children who are intellectually gifted or have a special talent. The term students with disabilities is more restrictive than exceptional children because it does not include gifted and talented children. Learning the definitions of several related terms will help you better understand the concept of exceptionality.…

    Spiritual Embroyo

    • 3 Pages

    Science prescinds from a child’s incaranation and simply regards the newborn infant as a complex of organs and tissues that makes up a living whole.while still in the womb,a baby solely depends on the mother for survival.even when thje baby is born,he takes time to grow i.eincarnate and reconstruct himself.unlike other animals that run,walk and jump from birth,the child possesses within him a pre-determined pattern of psychic unfolding which Maria Montessori called “spiritual embryo”.This refers to a period of pschyic unfolding when a child’s brain,intellect,personality and emotion are developed. The pchchic pattern in inborn in the child and is only revealed through the process of development.Proof of a child’s psychic life may be found in the distinction that is made between its conscious and its subconconscious activities.Even if we limit ourselves to more obvious and basic concept,we must admit that there is a play of instinct within a child,not only with respect to various pscychic operations.In animals such operations are characteristics of the species. A child develops more slowly than other animals.At birth this ability is little developed in a child even though he has the use of his senses and responds to light,touch,sound and so on. A new born baby is helpless and will remain so for a long time,cannot speak,cannot hold itself erect,in constant need of attention.For a long time,the only sound the only sound that it will sewnd forth is that of weeping or cry that will cause others to rush to its assistance,only after a considerable time,after months,a year.We can now describle a child’s psychic and psychological growth as a kind of incaranation-meaning “mysterious force which animates the helpless body of a newbornchild,enables him to grow,teaches him to speak and thus perfects him.…

    More and more people are curious about child prodigies and try to find the recipe for success and developing geniuses. The article “Child Prodigies” by an author, describes child prodigies as highly intelligent and attracting a lot of attention, but their growth also has big challenges from the society, life and education. Nicholas Weinstock, in his article, “How to Raise a Genius” illustrates that in raising a genius, people should follow five steps, do not over-regulate child’s life, provide as many learning opportunities as possible, avoid calling your child a genius, do not expect your child to be popular and do not sacrifice educational advancement to give your child a "normal" upbringing. In his article “Small Wonders” Andrew Marshall explains why child prodigies have extraordinary talent and ability by several stories. In his article “Child Prodigies” Joanna Schaffhausen illustrates how genetic components make a child prodigy and confirm that parents are important to some of the early studies on child prodigies.…

    Indigofera hirsuta L. or hairy indigo is an annual erect to spreading shrub that is native to Africa and Asia. It is a warm season plant and not frost tolerant. It is a diploid species with 2n= 16. It is naturalized in Florida and many other tropical and subtropical areas worldwide. Hairy indigo is known to have hard seed and should be scarified for uniform germination. Being hard seeded is beneficial for self-reseeding in pastures and cover crops. This persistence in other crops can cause it to be a troubling weed due to its height, canopy and woody stems that can interfere with crop harvesting (Ferrell et al., 2015). Hairy indigo has limit record for agricultural use, but has been used and researched in Florida for use…
