Q. How is Children’s Miracle Music different than a chore chart?
A. A chore chart is regulated by a parent as a means by which to track a child’s daily or weekly job
accomplishments. If a parent is not there to oversee the chores getting done, they don’t. This produces parent-governed children who have no
desire to be self-governed even as adults. Children’s Miracle Music is a temporary training tool which is designed to train all individuals in
the family (including the parent’s) to have the self-governed habit of quickly doing ten minutes of minimum daily cleaning to easily maintain
their home. The key to this training is the uplifting and highly motivational music that is used as a timing mechanism in the simple to use and
fun game. By playing the game every day, each family member will soon learn to do their small part out of habit and they will have the desire
to do it because they know that they are doing it to show their family that they love them. As soon as they have the habit, skill and desire to
be self-governed in doing their “Acts of Kindness” (jobs), getting ready for the day on time, getting ready for bed on time and helping their
siblings to do the same, means that the training tool has accomplished its purpose and doesn’t need to be used anymore. It also means that the
children in the home will grow up to have the desire to continue to be responsible, without supervision, when they are adults. This is the goal.
Q. What is the difference between Children’s Miracle Music Schedule #1 and Schedule #2?
A. Children’s Miracle Music schedule #1 has different music on it than schedule #2. Schedule #2 is the same
great game and has the same routine and points on it as schedule #1.
Q.What age is the Children’s Miracle Music game designed for?
A. According to our research, every person, starting when they are born and continuing the rest of their lives,
needs to do the same eight things in the morning and four things at night in order to maintain a home and to take care of their external bodies.
An infant, for example, needs to have his blankets straitened, diaper changed, clothes put on, breakfast eaten and to start learning, by
example, how to take care of an area of the home. An infant can accomplish this, during the music, by having a ‘team-mate’ (trainer) who is
responsible for helping him do his points. By age two the child will most likely be a big contributor to doing his practiced ?Act
of Kindness” (cleaning) and knowing which music he is supposed to do what to in order to get ready for the day in the morning and into bed
at night. Practice makes perfect. A teenager can learn to do his points much faster than a small child which means that he will be a
much bigger contributor to maintaining the home. Also, he will quickly be able to become a ‘team-mate’ to a younger sibling (if he has
one) which will train him to be a great parent when he has his own children.
Q. What if our family is used to eating breakfast first?
A. The Children’s Miracle Music game trains individuals in the principal of ‘work before you
play’ by placing the “Eat your Breakfast” point after the ?Act of Kindness” and getting ready points. This order of
points gives great motivation to family members to accomplish their so called ‘work’ points so that they can get to their
‘play’ point of eating breakfast.
Q. Will we get tired of hearing the same music every morning?
A. In our research we found that songs which contain words become tiresome to hear when played frequently.
On the other hand, music that does not have words can be played once a day for years and still be exciting, mood changing and fun.
The Children’s Miracle Music game uses music selections that do not have words for every point except one.
Q. What kind of music does the game have on it?
A. We spent years looking for the right music which would motivate an individual to accomplish each
specific task. The selections that we chose have the exact rhythm, uplifting mood, length of time and exciting instrumental arrangements
which create a desire for active participation in doing each point. Many of the compositions that we chose are invigorating classical
pieces. The non-classical music selections are just as uplifting and powerfully motivating.
Q. How does the whole family play the game together?
A. To play the game, place a CD player in a central location in the home, (i.e. near the top or bottom of
the stairs etc.) turn up the volume and press the play button so that everyone in the home can hear the music and do their points at the
same time. Another option is to place cordless speakers around the home so that everyone can hear the points clearly. CD’s can also be
played over cordless intercoms.
Q. What are the names of the songs on the CD’s?
A. We purchased the rights to use the music we selected from music libraries. The libraries often name
their pieces based on the mood that is emulated instead of familiar titles which is why the names of the songs are not listed on the game.
Q. How long will the game continue to be effective with my family?
A. The Children’s Miracle Music game is designed to be a temporary training tool. It should only be used
until individuals develop the habit, skill and desire to quickly clean the house (to show those they live with that they love them) to get
ready for the day in the morning ON TIME and to get ready for bed at night ON TIME without any exterior motivation. This training
raises self-governed, responsible, clean and loving adults and should be learned before children leave their parents home and go out on
their own.
Q. What if I have family members who get up a lot earlier than the rest of the family?
A. There are two options. Option one: The individual who gets up earlier can put the game on his own CD
alarm clock and do his point by himself. The rest of the family can do their points together at a later time. Option two: The whole family
can get up at the earlier time, do their points together and then those that do not need to leave early can have extra time to talk and
play before they need to leave. It is best to play the game together so that each individual can see their family members loving them
by sacrificing their time and energy to help them have a clean place to live.
Q. What if there isn’t enough time to do the task?
A. On the back of the game board it explains six parenting principals that positively motivate individuals
to want to be self-governed in doing their points. One of those six principals says to help the person who is responsible for an area of
the home do research on how to best take care of it in the allotted amount of time and as a professional. This is important as they will
be doing this same task for the rest of their lives and should be able to do it quickly and efficiently. There are amazing time saving and
easy techniques for doing life long necessary tasks which are readily available long necessary tasks which are readily available if one
looks. We will be sending out free tips, saving years of time and effort in this area, to those signed up on our email list.
Q.How does every family member use the bathroom during the same point?
A. Not all family members will need to use the bathroom at that time. If they do, individuals who are
waiting for their turn can start the next point (the Act of Kindness) until the bathroom is available.
Q.What if a family member doesn’t finish their point before the next point starts?
A. That individual should finish the point he is on before starting the next point and try to catch up with
the music. A point is only earned when a task is completed before the allotted music ends. (You may want to give a very young child who
try’s to accomplish his task his point anyway.) Learning to do ones points quickly is a necessary life skill which, like learning to play
the piano, takes practice.
Q.How do I get my own points done, as a mother, when I have so many little ones to help do theirs?
A. If you are the only “trainer” and have more than one little one to be a team-mate to, you may want
to get ready before you put the music on. This will enable you to have more time to focus on training your little ones. A trainer who
helps a team-mate do his points still gets her points.
Q.What if I have a teenager who wants more time to do his hair than the music allows?
A. You may want to tell him that you will be putting the music on at a specific time each morning and if
he wants extra time to get ready he can get up that much earlier. This way everyone will always be ready to eat breakfast together at the
same time. Encouraging less time in front of the mirror and more time on creating a good looking inside (by serving others every morning)
can be done by asking him to be a trainer to a younger sibling when the music goes on. Letting a teenager know how much he is needed by
his family in the way of being a trainer enables him to shift his thinking to ‘What can I do for you?’ instead of just serving himself.
Q.What if I don’t have enough money to take each child on an individual private date approximately every
two weeks?
A. Private dates don’t have to cost any money. The goal of going out on the date is to spend focused time
with that person getting to know them better and better. We will be giving out great ideas for dates to those who have signed up for our
email. One idea is to let the children know that they can only have an ‘out of the house’ date every third time. This means that they
can choose fun things to do with either their mom or dad privately and without interruption IN the house during their ‘in house’ dates.
For instance, they may want to have a picnic by spreading out a blanket on the floor of a locked room, eating a specially prepared meal
and playing a specific game that they love for an hour or so with their parent. Choosing a specific amount of time that you shouldn’t
be interrupted is key to making ‘in house’ dates be fun and emotionally intimate. ‘in house’ dates also work for private dates that
parent’s go on with each other.
