Aur-met.: Merc.-ähnLICH.
Um dem Schmerz der Zurückweisung zu entgehen, lernt das Aurum-Kind, stets sein Bestes zu geben.
Usually prefers religious and symphonic music
[Luc de Schepper]
As with the Nat-c. child, the Aurum child loves to listen to classical
music. Fast rock-and-roll music (Tarentula child), organ music, not music
played by a single instrument.
This classical music resonates with the seriousness of this child, often
withdrawn on his own, and it brings a calming effect, putting him to sleep
[Dr. Sunirmal Sarkar]
Schlechter Atem bei Mädchen in der Pubertät
[Dr Elizabeth Wright Hubbard/Presented by Sylvain Cazalet]
Boys with undescended testicles often respond to Aurum if the background
suggests it.
‡ Child has
too little exposure to the father. ‡
Aurum children are usually more adult than their friends and choose
their friends very carefully. In fact, usually they have few friends, and are
often busy by themselves, wanting to be left alone but bullied in school. The
Aurum child is very intellectual, precocious, and too serious for his own good.
The reaction of the outside world to a
joyous child is joyous; the reaction to a serious child is serious, and
Aurum does perceive the difference;
[Dr. Douglas Borland]
The
typical Aurum child is always an undeveloped child. It is not so much a
question of undersize and underweight as that it simply does not grow up. The
Aurum child of
5
years is probably about the level of a 3-year old. The majority of cases
needing AURUM are boys, and in the majority of these cases there has been some
failure of development. It is the type of symptom for which one might consider
Bar-c. These children always give the impression of being lifeless.
Mind:
Depressive disorders of children (when they are suffering from a major
illness like malignancy, renal failure, or congenital heart disease)
and have realized that the outcome of their disease is hopeless (Psor).
Lifelessness and miserable feeling with no initiative to do anything;
poor concentration chiefly arises from grief due to loss of friendship or loss
of
parents, with sudden responsibility to take care of younger brothers and
sister, or when the integrity of the child is doubted.

Kids are crazy about music, and infants remain calm when music is
played; young children love to do their homework or project with music; loves
to
own a portable radio or audio player so they can listen to music when
travelling; before going to sleep, the child insists that the mother play music
and sing songs (Bufo. Croc-s. Lac-leo. Nat-m. Tarent. Tub.).
Lively extroverted children, resembling Phos; yet can be reserved and
introverted like Ign.
