Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Crystal Children reflect the new generation that has come to the Earth plane after the Indigo Children. They are approximately ages 0 through 5, although some members of the first wave of Crystal Children are as old as 7. These children are like Indigos—highly psychic and sensitive—but without the dark edge and the anger energy.

The term Crystal Children is already taking hold worldwide, and people everywhere are talking about these special kids. Since Doreen is the only researcher who is publicly giving speeches on the subject, her audiences have been asking her for a book on the topic. It’s a natural sequel to her book The Care and Feeding of Indigo Children.

As babies, Crystal Children may take longer than normal to begin talking. They are highly telepathic, and their tuned-in mothers communicate with them nonverbally. Because they’re so sensitive, the Crystal Children babies may fuss and cry a lot in crowded places. They’re also very fond of nature. Doreen once watched one Crystal Child walk from tree to tree, giving each one a big hug.

Crystal Children are beautiful inside and out, like magnificent little high-priests and priestesses. One look in their eyes, and you’ll recognize Divine love and wisdom. Their auras are bright, radiant, and opalescent—they seem to glow from the inside! They talk about past lives, distant galaxies, and profound insights concerning peace and love. Most Crystal Children’s parents are aware that their kids are special, and they’re thrilled to be parenting such delightful children.

The book includes many interviews with Crystal Children, their parents, and teachers. It discusses parenting and teaching methods that are essential to keeping these children happy and healthy, and how to avoid pitfalls that could spoil their special gifts.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not enough substance, September 11, 2004

By	Nina (Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Crystal Children (Paperback)

I was really disappointed with this book. A very large amount of the text is dedicated to quotes from parents, no other real substance. Every parent thinks their child is special and gifted, this book simply indulged the bragging rights of these parents.
I also found that many of the descriptions of the children simply matched well known behaviors for the relevant age group. Having third party evaluations, instead of the parents, would have been more useful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing children, August 4, 2003

By	Judith E. Pavluvcik (Dreaming of the beach in Hawaii, but living in the reality of the desert in Arizona!!) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Crystal Children (Paperback)

The CRYSTAL CHILDREN by Dr. Doreen Virtue is a fascinating look at the "next generation" of children coming to earth. Preceded by the Indigo Children, these Crystal children are pretty special and amazing, according to the first-hand accounts related by the parents and grandparents. Born totally psychic, sensitive, compassionate, empathic, loving, and kind, these children are able to constantly communicate with the angles and spirits around them, as well as the nature spirits. Again, the true stories presented in the book will astound you. Not all the children will present with all the abilities as related in the book, but clearly, most have many special and healing abilities. Filled with the utmost love and compassion, I do believe, as Dr. Virtue believes, these children are here to spread love, truth and compassion.

I felt that the book was a bit repetitive at times, which was not necessary, and I also found the first hand accounts of these children just fascinating. The book is a very quick read, as I did not want to put this book down, due to the amazing subject matter. While reading this book, I realized that several children I know are presenting with many of the attributes listed. Dr. Virtue also made sure to drive the point home that these children talk later in life, that they are NOT autistic, as society wants to put a "label" on them, but rather, they are observing and will talk when they are ready and usually in complete sentences. I also believe that it takes very aware and in-tune parents as well to raise these children. Most parents also relate that even though their children speak later in life, they have no trouble whatsoever in understanding them - telepathic communication.

Lovely, wonderful book - highly recommend it for those parents and teachers, whose lives are blessed by these special angels - just overlook the repetitiveness!

2.0 out of 5 stars Mixed blessing at best., January 18, 2005

By	M. Groesbeck "critical-theory wonk" (Southern California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Crystal Children (Paperback)

At best, this book (along with the "indigo children"/"crystal children" line of thought in general) could contribute to the reconsideration of what is generally considered a set of autistic-spectrum and related disorders (such as ADD/ADHD). Such a reconsideration could have a definite positive impact, leading us to consider the benefits rather than the inconveniences of a plurality of cognitive styles.

However, these benefits would require a clear, systematic and universally applicable understanding of the mental and emotional dynamics involved. Instead, this work -- like others of the general group -- seeks to impose a single conceptual framework on a wide range of individual experiences. That this conceptual framework (ironically, given the set of individuals to whom it is applied) not only offers a chillingly homogenized and spiritually sterile view of the human population, but displays a shockingly Eurocentric worldview. Moving away from the current poorly-supported clinical approach to people (children especially) with divergent cognitive processing styles may be a good thing; replacing it with an effectively unsupported quasi-religious system of assertions and arbitrary conceptual structures is not.
