The Harmonious Child

I bought this book when it went on sale at National Bookstore a few months back and for the life of me I haven't been able to read it through. It's called The Harmonious Child. The reason why I bought it was that Matthew has been fascinated with music. Early on in his childhood, he has had the ability to remember the rhythm of songs. He still has that today. It only bothers sometimes me because he want to listen to one particular song at times. Play anything else and he will start kicking and screaming.

Anyway, I wanted to read the book and explore how traditional training could help Matthew learn patience and discipline. At the same time, I hope that music training would help him improve his natural acuity for music. Have you read the The Harmonious Child? Tell us your thoughts through the comments :-)

About This Blog

This blog journals the experiences of Ed and Remy as they tackle parenthood and autism. Both knew there was something "different" about their son when he turned 2. Matthew was initially mis-diagnosed when they consulted a specialist. When they sought a second opinion, he was diagnosed to be autistic. Ed and Remy seek to share what they learn, as they try and help Matthew cope with his condition.
