Crystal children are spiritual beings that are gifted with special personality traits.

Children are unique in their own way but Crystal children, also sometimes called Star children, have natural abilities that are unlike anyone else.

What are Crystal children?

Born after 2001, these earthy, peacemaking children are specifically here to make the world a better place.

They are called Crystal children due to their high vibration, most dominant around their crown chakra.

Crystal children possess special spiritual gifts and are often diagnosed with autism or on the autism spectrum. Crystal children are unique in their ability to say what’s on their minds and bring light, love, and joy to others.

Crystal children deserve to be respected and understood. Their connection to the spiritual realm is something that we can’t fully understand.

Crystal children are believed to uplift humanity and work towards a greater, universal cause.

There are different types of children who possess psychic and supernatural traits.

There are several types of star children. As Psychic/Medium John Cappello explains, "Indigo children are the change-makers boldly making moves for change while the Starseed children bring their knowledge from beyond our planet to share with us. The Crystal children will bring stability during the transition and the Rainbow kids will be there emotionally for those who need care."

There is a difference between an indigo child and Crystal children and it's best described by their life purpose.

Whether you are a Crystal, Rainbow, Starseed, or Indigo child you all possess certain traits that make you who you are.

Starseed children

Star children are certain individuals that supposedly originated from far-distant planets, solar systems, and galaxies. Many are believed to have lived many lives within other star systems lightyears away from our own. There are several different types of Starseed children but their purpose is clear as day. They are here to bring peace, topple corrupt systems, and shift dimensional consciousness in the coming years.

They have a special responsibility to assist in the rebirth of a higher-dimensional Earth and are planted with a prearranged "wake-up call".

Indigo children

The term Indigo children were further developed by Nancy Ann Tappe and then later by Lee Carroll and Jan Tober in the 1970s. Indigo children are highly intelligent, very empathetic, often perceived as strange, possess a clear sense of self-definition and purpose, and are highly intuitive. They also are creative, rebellious, emotional, and skilled.

They are said to have come to challenge the existing system and to prepare us for the next generation: the Crystal children.

Crystal children

The one thing that stands out in Crystal children is their eyes. They are large, penetrating, and wise beyond their years. Their eyes lock and hypnotize you as if your soul is being laid bare for Crystal children to see.

They have charming and magnetic personalities. They often started talking late in their childhood. They are also empathic and highly sensitive. They focusing mostly on forgiveness, harmony, and beauty.

Crystal children are supposedly the second wave of humans who were born with the sole purpose of changing the world. They follow after Indigo children and came before Rainbow children.

Rainbow children

Rainbow children are usually birthed by Crystal children from the late 1980s. They have come here to help heal the earth and humanity.

They are adaptable and are quick to recover from negative emotions. They are able to read people's feelings making them psychic. They also have a natural draw to color whether it be colored mirrors or their clothing.

They hardly fear anything and always know where their protection lies. They are usually in their own world but also have a tendency to care for others. 

Rainbow children are said to have an old soul and have a strong connection with the divine creator/God. 

What to do if you're a Crystal child or have one in your family.
