No: Some people believe that crystal or indigo children have special talents or are the next step in human evolution. There is no scientific evidence supporting this theory. Remembering how many things that were considered strange are now facts, i prefer to keep an open mind. If this belief comforts your son in his everyday life and is not interfering with his development let him explore.
