This simple timer is one of the best devices we have seen to date for teaching kids to manage their time. Put in the children's own hands it takes Mom or Dad out of the equation to some degree. Kids learn what it means to manage an hour of time, whether it is watching TV, playing video games, etc.. The timer also introduces the concept of the honor system and our testers found that to be a very valuable lesson. High scores were also garnered for pricing, design, construction and durability.
