The current book I am reading is about the effect our feelings, environment and health play on the unborn child. It is a huge eye opener for me. It speaks of the usual drugs, alcohol and smoking effecting our babies. It goes into much more. It talks about a famous conductor named Brott. He found that certain cello pieces he could just sit down and play without ever looking at the music and had no idea why. He talked with his mother, a cello player and found that those same pieces were the pieces she was practicing while pregnant. Another french mom took her daughter to doctors for help with autism. The child did not speak a word or progress until the doctor began to speak English. He questioned the french speaking parents only to find out that the mother worked in an English speaking office while pregnant. The stores go on. Prematurity, anxiety, the birth, all of these aspects of pregnancy and delivery effect who we are and how we see life. No wonder our children with RAD have such deeply seated issues. While pregnant the birth mother probably was involved in unhealthy relationships with much yelling, chaos and fear. All of these things are the first sounds our children heard. We are trying to change thought patterns learned prenatally. And yet God provides healing. Our children are miracles in the making.
