I must be one of those whose jaw almost fell off as i was reading about this young girl’s abilities. To many, being able to speak and read a story book is already an achievement at her age. Let alone being able to speak so many languages. I wonder what is so different able the way that she was being raised up. May be, we can learn somethings from her parents.

Apa ada yang tidak seperti demikian ?
.
Jadi kaya - justru musti waspada. Jangan-jangan ini cobaan, atau azab; karena dengan kekayaannya ini kita menjadi terlena dan lupa kepada Allah swt.
.
Jadi miskin - lebih perlu waspada lagi. Jangan sampai keimanan kita menjadi korban karena kesulitan hidup.
.
Jadi ahli agama - juga tetap perlu waspada. Bisa jadi ini adalah cobaan; apakah kita menjadi sombong karenanya ?
.
Dst, termasuk juga mendapatkan “anugrah” (atau, cobaan) berupa indigo child
.
Hidup ini adalah cobaan yang bertubi-tubi, sampai masa tugas kita “selesai”. Life is a struggle.

Lha iya, kok harus di-Congratulation-i. kalo kata temen ustadz yang ‘ajaib’ datang tiba-tiba tanpa proses gitu malah harus hati2,bisa datang dari Alloh (karena kasihsayangNYA) atau dari syetan yang seolah baik padahal mau ‘nglulu’ (bhs jawa, saya nggak tahu bahasa indonesianya) .

Indigo kid is only a buzzword for special kid

IMW - Not every kid is an indigo child. But every kid is a very special child
.
Masindi - for having a child that is, from certain perspectives, better than others.

“Congratulations to her family !”

Why are you congratulating her family? Is her family responsible for the way she is now (indigo)?

Sorry, but I don’t understand why you must congratulate them.

My son can speak German and Indonesian, (a little bit English and Spanish from Dora hehe) he is still 4 years old. He knows many gamelan songs better than me or average Balinesse. Just listen in the first 4 seconds of song he can decide which song it is. He can also imitate “sinden” in wayang orang.

Is he an Indigo child ? I do not care, every kid is an indigo child.

indigo child is rather a vague term.

A woman, Rosini, came to me a few months ago, and said I was an indigo. The question is “what is indigo”?

When she made a small party and invited a group of people (most are 30s, then 20s adult and then two children), my sister and I tried to find an answer of “what is indigo”. Actually, I didn’t know my sister had the same curiousity as I did. After we left the party in the next day, we compared and both of us agreed, indigo was a vague term.

I had to admit, people who were invited and me myself had a lot of similarity. We were rebels, we hated how other people misunderstood us, we hated how the simple things (for us) could not be apprehended by others. But still, I didn’t understand why it had to be called “indigo”.

My sister investigated further. She found inconsistency such as the indigo’s aura didn’t have to be indigo. Then, how can you define someone as indigo? You can’t just walk away to troubled 20s years old and say “I can see that you’re an indigo”.

And let me be skeptic in Annisa’s case.
A child good in english nowadays is not unusual especially with a lot of english references (DVDs, Musics, Books). Never think they only learn from their parents. And the same argument goes to how she could say what usually only a matured person could.

In fact, I always disagree with phrase “he/she is only a child”. I always disagree when someone said “such thing could not be understood by children”. There are, indeed, some phase of development, but the duration of each phase can be different.

In the indigo party, I met an elementary school student who had astounding knowledge about dog. And how could he get such knowledge? Learn by himself from internet, just like I used to be, learning from books when I was kid.

In the same night, I also found that this child had not developed one thing which I had in his age: the ability to fight. I saw their parents were too protective. He was too scared to fight, he was too scared to be wounded or worse, got permanent wound.

I haven’t met Annisa but I believe she is not much different.

In my opinion,
being hypnotized when seeing them is not a wise move. Treat them as adults and when you confront their children’s side, it means you see their undeveloped side. Don’t let those kind of child being exploited by their parents.

And did you know, when I heard the real-theory about “indigo”, I got feeling de javu. Yup. It similar to Redfield’s Celestine Prophecy.

The speech was in English she also refused to speak Indonesian in the Q & A session.
.
And the fact that a 6 years old managed to grasp some of the rather hidden meaning of fasting, it’s quite something. Especially when her elders are freely breaking fast all the time instead, heh.

Sorry but can’t help it, what does an Indigo child got anything to do with fasting speech?
