Children's Miracle Music - WFMW

As we gear up to go back to school, I thought I would post quickly about something that has helped us get out the door in the morning and into bed at night. It is called Children's Miracle Music. It includes a CD for morning and a CD for evening routines. The CD verbally guides them through each step of their morning or evening, giving them the time it takes for 1-3 songs to paly to complete the task before moving to the next one. It has a tracking chart, stickers, instructions, etc as a reward and motivation system with suggestions for appropriate rewards. I also like that it includes an "act of kindness" or chore that benefits the family that I set up.
We took a break over the summer and did some different things to help it to be fresh and exciting again for when school starts.
Though we still had some grumbling occasionally about "doing jobs" this program really helped us! Go over and check it out! It worked for our family.
