ABSTRACT
In this chapter, I examine how parents describe their children as “Indigo” and provide a broad mapping of the forms and resources that they bring to bear in doing so. A principal case study, concerning Emma and her daughters, will be examined to offer an initial analysis of the categories being applied to the child in this parental account. This chapter then expands on that analysis by drawing on material encountered through online discussion groups, events, social media posts, and interviews organized for this research. This wider analysis refers to the accounts of Indigos themselves as w well as those of the parents of Indigos.
