(They're "indigo" based on the color of their aura, according to one of the founding scientific investigators, who made this discovery based on.her innate ability to see aura colors.) Indigos often have large, luminous eyes they are "extremely bright, precocious children with an amazing memory and a strong desire to live nsitive, gifted souls." It's the perfect apotheosis of Boomer parenting: Not only is my kid not a "problem"-my kid is here to save the world! (No Times link without registering, but you can sample the lunacy here.) This hilarious conceit sounds like it was created to accessorize some fatuous ex-hippie Ivy League ninny in a Woody Allen screenplay, but I swear it's true: There's a network of New Age baby-boomer authors and gullible parent-followers who believe that today's "difficult" kids-whether clinically symptomatic for ADHD or simply spoiled and insufferable-are actually a new breed of more highly evolved beings, who will bring humanity to some (very vaguely specified) next level or post-Aquarian nirvana. We spotted the trendlet in a loony bookstore in (where else?) Woodstock last summer, but now that the New York Times is on board, it's official: The "Indigo Children" have arrived.
