"I am an MSW and Business and Personal coach interested in helping children and families with ADD/ADHD. I recently read the book Indigo Children. The experts in this book spoke of their experience with children with ADD/ADHD and how they believe that many of these children are misdiagnosed and that they are actually more advanced and gifted with a higher consciousness. Their struggles ensue when their environments do not meet their needs including the need to be given and demanded respect, to be given options, to talk to them like adults, to respect and encourage the use of their gifts, their need for integrity and honesty in the actions of adults, etc. When these needs are met including Montessori and Waldorff schools, they adapt well and can thrive without medication. What has your experience shown in relation to the idea of the Indigo Children--does it fit for you? If so, how? If not, why? Have you spoken or worked with any of the experts in this book?"
