Do you mean that psychic nonsense that was on C4 last night? I thought it was a load of old rubbish and really unfair on the child involved, more that unfair really....

yep..the little boy just wanted to please his mum and the teenage girl wanted to be buffy and make money

It could give you a real complex - imagine being asked if you see dead people..he was 8 ffs!

did you see this article in the Guardian?

I started a thread on this last night, after watching the Channel 4 load of bunk.

Amazing.

Most of these children and their parents needed some real help, not a load of tosh like this.

no I didn't..the telepathy sequence in the programme was daft..

it reminds me of the Midwich Cuckoos

I'm sure it's not good for the children to fill their heads with this indigo stuff

i didn't see the programme but the article in the guardian made me pmsl

Just about fell over when the narrator announced, 'These children are believed to be part of a new species . . . '

Nothing new species about having special needs and mental health problems that are being denied real treatment, help and support, unfortunately.

Didn't see the programme but from everything I have heard - and the Guardian article - I must say it saddens me that yet again a few strange people make all spiritualists look insane.

SaintGeorge · 08/08/2006 15:07

And I mean the parents and the folks behind the Indigo/Crystal idea not the kids themselves.

buffythenappyslayer · 08/08/2006 15:07

saw most of the programme and thought that little boys mum was more or less putting words into his mouth 'do you see people when your out?are they dead people?'daft woman!!

the poor little kid seemed to be saying what his mum wanted to hear.

I couldn't equate Olive with ADHD either he seemed to be able to concentrate quite intensively and was very perceptive of what his mum was trying to do to him I think..he seemed very sad

i saw the bit where his mum said she didnt like labelling children and thast why she stopped giving him the adhd medication,as she didnt want him to be labelled a child with adhd or special needs.

so stopping his medication and calling him an indigo child is better?

surely she must realise taht if he goes to school saying he sees dead people and is an indigo/crystal/rainbow child hes going to get picked on.

I think it was more about batty parents than psychic children
That girl Heather was very beautiful though, unrelated nevertheless...

buffythenappyslayer · 08/08/2006 15:16

is she the one whos mum had red hair?

was gabbing on the phone for most of it!!(while the cats away,the mouse will ring her friends up in hull!!!)

SaintGeorge · 08/08/2006 15:25

Tsk buffy, should get them to ring you. Cheaper dontcha know (yey Kingston)

buffythenappyslayer · 08/08/2006 15:29

i know!!but will wait for phone bill to come and then say to dh "well,you went away and i was lonely!"

he'll probably want to know why i didnt ring him,but cant have a moan about him to him can i??!!!

ha I didn't see your thread expat..i usually check properly first..

funnily enough i'm sure someone recommended something about indigo children on here once..I didn't realise it was this kind of stuff

I was an indigo child though..believed i had magical powers and used to walk around in circles reciting poems and being childe roland etc

OP posts:
buffythenappyslayer · 08/08/2006 15:36

and is crystal child and rainbow child just other names for them,or is it something different??
