“I was thinking of ordering this program for my two special needs children a boy and a girl. Do I need more than the 2 CD’s that come with the program? Since they are in different rooms and the music plays in CD’s wasn’t sure how that would work with 2 children.”

Below is my response to Marie, hopefully you will find it helpful as well.

The way the game works is that you play it with your whole family at the same time. Children seem to learn best by doing what their parent’s do side by side. In this way they can learn to be skilled in taking care of each area of the home. The game directions say to team up with a family member that does not know how to do their “points” yet with one who does – until they become good at it. After they learn how to do their kids housekeeping for one area of the house well, you can switch them to another area to learn how to do it. The training may take 6 months or more before they become good at what they are doing. It’s kind of like learning to play the piano. You wouldn’t want to switch them to the violin until they have practiced and become good at the piano. Taking your children to a janitorial supply store to better learn how to clean the bathroom is one idea on how to help them build self-esteem in doing a task which they will need to know how to do throughout their lives.

The way that you play the game as a family is to turn up the music in a central location so that it can be heard throughout the home. The music filling the air motivates ALL of the family members to run and get their points. If the children see that “we all” are doing our part to care for the home then they grow up SEEING that all family members, young and old take care of their surroundings. This trains them how to be a responsible adult LIKE THEIR PARENT’S are.

I just received an email from another lady who has used the Children’s Miracle Music game for over two years now with her own “special needs” child. She said that she was at the end of her rope before she ordered the game and playing it together with her family has truly been a miraculous transformation in their home.

If your home is too large to hear the game throughout it, you can always get a couple of cordless speakers and place them in key areas. I haven’t found that there are any homes, so far, which need these cordless speakers though. Turning the volume up for all to hear has been working in thousands of homes.

I also home-school, and using the Children’s Miracle Music game actually made a lot of things EASIER for me. It is focused on helping children to become self-reliant, and also enable them to take care of themselves and their surroundings. Kids’ chores do not have to be a hassle anymore! The Children’s Miracle Music game focuses on getting your kids used to their chores and working on them without having to be told to do so again and again. The game itself teaches your children an order for their chores, as the chores themselves are set at different times, which lets them get into the “flow” of things. Once they are made aware of their schedules through music, your kids will not need prodding from you to go ahead and do their share of responsibilities so you can STOP being the moderator and start being a TRAINER!

Kids get into doing their chores because the Children’s Miracle Music actually HELPS them through each task, making sure that they learn all about their chores and guides them through each one. It teaches them to become a PRO with each new chore that they practice, and also helps them to learn new chores. I highly recommend using Children’s Miracle Music game as a complement to your homeschooling activities, because it makes learning FAST and FUN!
