[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 497840, member: 1233"] This is awesome!! You are totally on the right track to think of having him practice when he gets upset/stuck/frustrated. Not only is it providing something sensory that his brain finds soothing, music is awesome for helping a child develop the parts of the brain that deal with math, logic, etc.... When you find something that produces that good feeling in your child, find a way to use it to help them. Music never worked that way for Wiz but audiobooks did. We would have him listen to specific ones when he got upset or frustrated and it really helped him move past it. We had HUGE struggles with some of his teachers because they thought that letting him take a "time out" or break and listen to an audiobook was giving him a reward for misbehaving. What they didn't realize was that it worked to "reset" his brain and frustration tolerance. I hope that V has teachers that will allow him to use music to soothe himself. [/QUOTE]
