"Training" alarm clock for kids

uncjules · July 2011

Thought I would share this "training" alarm clock for kids I heard about. The face has a picture of a rabbit sleeping and another with the rabbit going to school. You set it so that when it's OK for your child to get out of bed, the going to school rabbit is illuminated. This way, if your child wakes up at night or early in the morning, he/she can see that it's not time to get up yet, even if they can't tell time. I think that's awesome.

(Sorry my description isn't the best, but you'll understand it when you see it!)

I love that! I have a friend who put tape on the last 2 numbers on a digital clock and told her children they could only get out of bed when the first # was a 7! LOL.

I have seen a similar clock that is red at night and turns green at whatever time you specify. I think it's such a cool idea- I think kateland has used one with her LO and really likes it. I've thought about getting one for Mads, but I'm pretty sure she if she woke up and it was red she'd just sit in bed and yell for me, lol!

We have the Good Nite Lite and Scott loves it!! It's a sun/moon that lights up either blue--the moon (still night time--don't get up) or yellow--the sun (it's OK to get up now). It has really helped him be more independent in the mornings. I'd definitely recommend it! I love these toddler alarm clocks thingys.

We have a stoplight alarm clock and it's awesome! Mornings are so much better around here now. And Eli sleeps better at night too. I think knowing it's there gives him peace of mind or something. Definitely something I would recommend.
