If your child listens to classical music:
| The Haydn Effect: | Child is witty and quick on his feet, quite often bringing a grin to the faces of those around him. Despite this he exhibits remarkable humility. |
|---|---|
| The Bach Effect: | Child memorizes Scripture and says his prayers every day; may overwhelm listeners with his speech. |
| The Handel Effect: | Much like the Bach Effect; in addition, the child may exhibit dramatic behavior. |
| The Beethoven Effect: | Child develops a superiority complex and is prone to violent tantrums; is a perfectionist. |
| The Liszt Effect: | Child speaks rapidly and extravagantly, but never really says anything important |
| The Bruckner Effect: | Child speaks very slowly and repeats himself frequently. Gains a reputation for profundity. |
| The Grieg Effect: | This child is quirky yet cheery. May be prone toward Norwegian folklore. |
| The Wagner Effect: | Child becomes a megalomaniac. Speaks for six hours at a stretch. |
| The Schoenberg Effect: | Child never repeats a word until he has used all the other words in his vocabulary. Sometimes talk backwards or upside-down. Eventually people stop listening to him. Child blames them for their inability to understand him. |
| The Ives Effect: | Child develops a remarkable ability to carry on several separate conversations at once. |
| The Stravinsky Effect: | Child is prone to savage, guttural and profane outbursts that lead to fighting and pandemonium in preschool. |
| The Shostakovich Effect: | Child only expresses themselves in parent-approved ways. |
| The Cage Effect: | Childs says exactly nothing for 4 minutes and 33 seconds. Preferred by 9 out of 10 classroom teachers. |
| The Glass Effect: | Child repeats one word over, and over, and over, and over.... |
