Choice of words, please comment
I'm writing an article about, well, this:
"Indigo children - KNOWLEDGE of the PROBLEM in preschool EDUCATION"
but I'm having doubts about my choice of words. Perhaps following options would work better?
"Indigo children - KNOWLEDGE (CONVERSANCE - ACQUAINTANCE - AWARENESS - COGNIZANCE - ???) of the PROBLEM (TOPIC - PHENOMENON - ???) in preschool EDUCATION (SETTING - ???)"
I have no idea, how any of this words sound to a native speaker, in this context. Please, help!
By "knowledge" I mean "how much do they know about it".
By "problem" I mean that they perceive those children as a problem.
By "preschool" I mean children from 1 to 6.
Thank you for your comments!

Hi, I'm writing an article about, well, this: "Indigo children - KNOWLEDGE of the PROBLEM in preschool EDUCATION" This seems OK to me. My only hesitation is about the word 'problem'. Some people perceive this a problem, and some don't.

- 'Topic' is a more neutral term.
