Being an Old Soul in a youth-oriented world is difficult, to put it lightly. Parents expect their kids to behave like kids, and when they do not, this frightens them. Precocious children can be real challenging to parents expecting a ‘tabula rasa’- a child who should be a ‘blank slate’, ready for the parents to etch their personal values and traditions upon them. When an Old Soul, complete with accessible memories, experience, and morals and values built up over hundreds of thousands of years arrives instead, many parents react like they’ve got a Changeling in their midst. In some ways, they do. But an Indigo youngster needs love and care just like ‘normal’ kids do- and a whole lot more patience and understanding. We are not being deliberately willful and difficult; it’s just that we wish that our bodies matured faster. You’ll hear a lot of "But when(s)?" and "Why?" from Indigo kids.
