Tick-Tock Let Me Help You Choose a Clock

Different ages, different purposes... you may be in the market for a clock. Here are a few options to peruse:

My Tot Clock is a favorite product of mine; I really could go on and on. I have it in my three-year old son's room. This is a great tool for teaching little kids when it is time to go to sleep and when it is an okay time to wake-up. It also has many bonuses: a time-out timer, an encouragement timer, stories/music, white noise.

My son knows that the yellow light means it is okay for him to get up. He knows for his rest time he pushes the light blue button and has some quiet time in his room until it goes off (which I set for an hour), he knows that he pushes the red button for his time-out, he knows when it is time to clean his room he presses the green button and has that much time, and he knows that it is bedtime when the blue light is on.

The lights provide clear indicators of different behaviors for a child that cannot tell time. This could be a great solution to your child's too early wake-time. It also has a great development story behind it- check it out.

Once your child is older and is honing the skills of telling time a good choice may be the Teach Me Time! Talking Alarm Clock by American innovative. This clock has a time teaching game, is a nightlight, and an alarm clock with ok to wake nightlight timer. My older daughter thought it was a fun clock to play with. This clock would work especially well for a child telling time pretty well, who also needs to be woken up everyday.

And for your time aware child say "Hello Moshi". The Moshi Voice Controlled Alarm Clock can be a fun and effective clock to get you up and running in the morning. Along with the alarm, it features three sleep sounds to rock your teen to sleep, and time/date/and temperature. Make sure your child learns the voice activated commands!
