Forget about instilling outdated values, you see, your kid is an Indigo. His disruptive behavior is showing the rest of us the way to the new age!
Actually, at least this theory doesn't rely on medicating the brat.

It's just putting a new age label on something that has existed for a long time: Bright kids who don't fit in.

Yet another definition for what we used to call brats.
I would be willing to bet that in intact families where there is structure and discipline there are no 'indigo' children with 'auras'.

his intelligence, empathy and impatience -- make him an "indigo" child. >>
Indigo is often a code word for "Asperger's Syndrome."
An Asperger's child is not to be wished on your worst enemy. I love mine to death, but oh my God.

Barkley is one of the two doctors that did the initial study into ADD back in the 1980s at Worcester Medical. I suspect that he would agree that ADD/ADHD is diagnosed far more often than it exists, but that it does exist and is treatable.

Adopted child of an older, leftist, single mom? Not necessarily. A lot of women with established careers don't take their husband's name so I don't think it is safe to assume that the child is adopted.

It was just a guess, based on the fact that no father was mentioned.

Indigo children were first described in the 1970s by a San Diego parapsychologist, Nancy Ann Tappe, who noticed the emergence of children with an indigo aura, a vibrational color she had never seen before. This color, she reasoned, coincided with a new consciousness.Stands-to-reason alert.

I had a friend who took my family portrait to a new age person. She said that my son, my daughter and myself were all indigo humanists, whatever that means.

I figured that a child with a father in the home, although he might be a bit "different," would not be put on a pedestal as a glow-in-the-dark higher evolutionary form. Instead, he would be signed up for martial arts and Cub Scouts so his energy and creativity could be developed productively.

...a teacher told Badillo that he is arrogant for a boy his age..."He told me when he was 6 months old that he was going to have trouble in school because they wouldn't know where to fit him," she said, adding that he told her this through his energy, not in words. "Our consciousness is changing, it's expanding, and the indigos are here to show us the way," Badillo said.
Gee, can't imagine what could have made this 7-year-old "arrogant". Possibly his mother telling him his "energy" spoke to her when he was 6 months old and that he was here on earth to "show us the way". God forbid he ever finds out the rest of the world doesn't think he's so "special."
