Anger and the Indigo Child [Paperback]

As parents we were 100% sure the diagnosis "pdd-nos and severely retarded" was 100% wrong. And we had to fight prejudices of experts, teachers, social workers, etc. who were all convinced that a) they were absolutely right and b) we were "in denial".
In the meantime our daughter has proven them wrong. As soon as she started attending "normal" education she flourished and was soon regarded as extremely intelligent, but with a very special attitude. The "Most common traits of Indigo children" chapter in the book beautifully describes the traits of our daughter and many of her classmates.

The chapters about anger, transforming anger, recognizing angerpatterns have helped me tremendously and instantly to recognize and release my own anger, fear and sadness. This has resulted within a week from starting to read the book in a transformation of not only my emotions but in the transformation of our daughter's emotions as well. We are now one week away from summer holidays and last week the teachers at school applauded our daughter. "She seems totally changed, as if she has cheered up in all her cells" one of the teachers said.

Recognizing the building-up of emotions as well as the suppression of anger, fear and sadness gives me a huge advantage as a mother, as a wife, as a human being and as a professional trainer of NLP.

I cannot thank Dianne Lancaster enough for writing this must-read master piece, that can transform your anger into love. Bravo!!

These children are pushing us forward on a cultural learning curve. We are raising a generation of more finely attuned beings who feel more want more and who have more to contribute. Ms. Lancaster elucidates this phenomenon and explains why these children are unwilling and constitutionally unable to tolerate outworn models of communication and power that hurt.

She shows how we can relate to them in ways that work for them, transforming anger and frustration to love and understanding. She also explains how we can learn to do this for ourselves, learning to recognize and address our own needs and anger, so that we don't respond to them automatically, in a triggered state.

This book brings so much information, clarity and just plain truth to the subject that readers will want to savor it slowly, allowing the material to resonate and integrate.

My experience in reading it was similar to first time reading works of Harville Hendrix, Catherine Ponder and Louise Hay: a sense of enlivenment, joyful recognition that I as a reader had been given a marvelous gift. This author's contributions are of the same caliber and teach us what we need to know right now for our kids and ourselves. I recommend it most highly.
