Rebel Hearts with Kristie Reeves

This week on "Rebel Hearts": Kristie talks with Maureen Healy, award-winning author, popular speaker and leader in the field of children's emotional health. Maureen also writes a popular blog for "Psychology Today" and has contributed to the PBS series "This Emotional Life". Along with writing, she continues to work with children and their parents globally, especially highly sensitive ones. Maureen's books are "Growing Happy Kids" and "The Energetic Keys to Indigo Kids". Have you ever heard the term "Indigo Children" or "Rainbow Children"? Do you or your children feel different, like they don't fit in? Are you highly sensitive? Then tune in as Maureen and Kristie explain who the Indigo and Rainbow children are; they speak on the characteristics of these kids as well as how they show up in the world and what they need in order to thrive. Indigo and Rainbow children (and adults) are highly sensitive and feel challenged being in a harsh environment. They also have a strong empathic sense and tend to soak up the energies around them like a sponge. Find out how you can turn that sensitivity into your greatest strength and learn tools to prevent yourself from picking up the energy of your environment. Maureen shares what kind of school systems support these kids, and talks about the importance of finding your tribe. She gives incredible advice on how to parent the indigo children and how to communicate with them. These kids show up knowing their mission and are unafraid to go for it. When given the right support, they will create incredible changes in the world. Learn how to successfully navigate the world as an Indigo or Rainbow child!
