BABY EINSTEIN to the RESCUE

I can not stress enough what a difference DISNEYS BABY EINSTEIN videos did for us in the young life of our son.  Nothing could ever get done around our house.  The calming music, puppets and visual stimulation plus entertainment it gave him.  Finally, some tranquility.

Not only did these videos entertain him, they also educated.  I am in no way condoling you to just sit your autistic child in front of the television.  This is just a way to get control once again to your already stressful life.

After he had watched most of these videos, we thought it might be a interesting to buy the CD version of lets say... BABY MOZART.

In the car he would scream, a lot!  It was hard enough to get him into his baby seat.  One of his main routines at that time was, he had to jump the passenger seat and turn on the dome lights.  After that was over, then he would sit and be buckled in to leave.

Back to the CD.  We would play the audio version of Baby Mozart and just look into his eyes.  You could just see the calmness it took over.  He was totally visualizing the entire movie in his head.  He knew every inch of the details that were going on in the music and to what exactly would be on screen if he were watching.  Come to a point he'd say, "Uh OH!" then laugh.   I knew exactly what he was thinking because I have seen the video enough to know what part it was at.

Let me again point out that Baby Einstein has made a big difference in our life.  It will give you the resource you need to do the dishes or fold laundry.  On the other hand, your little one is learning and being entertained so it's a win/win situation, or loose/win..I hate doing laundry.
