Children's Miracle Music
My dad sent me a link to the Children's Miracle Music CD, a slightly funny but mostly creepy product which purports to use music to instill "active participation" in your children "(& spouse!)"
You simply press the "PLAY" button on your CD player and family members of ALL AGES happily run to accomplish the task that is explained first. If they can finish it before the following, specifically timed, upbeat song ends, they get a point on their hard laminated, full color, magnetic points chart.Ah, robotic acquiescence. Don't forget the side benefits: engendering lifelong hatred of every note of music on the CD, as well as a deep and permanent complex about why and how family members contribute to the family.
The music, on the CD's, transforms the mood of the home into active participation. Just start the Morning CD 41 minutes and 58 seconds before you need to leave each morning. Your house will be cleaned and everyone will be ready to go ON TIME ! Start the Evening CD 22 minutes and 46 seconds before you want your house cleaned and your children ready for bed at night.
It's as simple as that! No more taskmasters. No more yelling. No more nagging. No more unbalanced distribution of work. You now have a FUN, UPLIFTING, SIMPLE way to happily and quickly get chores done, greet each new morning and close the day each evening.
You get no points for guessing that there's some sort of fundamentalist religious background to this thing: by the looks of the website and some other searching, it's Mormony.
