This was submitted to an book being created for Indigos by Lee Carroll and Jan Tober. I found about it at www.IndigoNetwork.com. I am a clinical psychologist who is an Indigo/Crystal and works with Indigo/Crystal children. I work in San Marcos in my own private practice and treat children as young as 3. In 2010, I will have been a Doctor for 13 years, have 16 years clinical experience and have 7 years experience with this population. I have found several techniques work with these children. I have success with these kids in psychotherapy and in my private life. I have an Indigo niece aged 5 at this point. 1. Yoga, meditation, tai chi, exercise calms them down, even short bursts to manage hyperactivity.
2. Art therapy, encouraging creativity any thing creative/independent project they start and manage. This helps manage painful feelings and helps them sort out how to proceed in a relationship.
3.Asking them how they would handle situations first and then educating them on how to improve on their responses to work,school, adults, authority figures.
4. Be yourself. Any fakeness/insincerity results in them dismissing you.
5.Be firm and direct but nice. Make it clear disrespect is not tolerated ever and they will respect that boundary.
6.Always listen to everything they say even if you think you have heard it before. Chances are, they are trying to formulate a better thought, feeling expression, or asking for help with an idea.
7. Be willing to be an accountable role model. In other words, if you talk the talk, walk the walk too. Everything I ask my clients to do, I do myself. The meditation, yoga, exercise, hobbies, mature perspective, nonjudgmental attitude is something I have to demonstrate in my office and in my life since I use myself as an example constantly so they know they have to take me seriously. That actually has been why so many of them respect me and start doing what I ask since they see a powerful example in front of them. I hope this has been helpful.  My website is now www.Drlily2010.com.
