Essentially it's just a visual clue for kids who don't know "time" yet, and you can set it to whatever times you want. They do need to be able to understand some things though, like relating the clock face to an actual face, and knowing eyes open/closed, etc.
Our kid took about 2 days to grasp that when the clock closes its eyes it's time for bed, and will also stay quietly in bed until the clock opens its eyes in the morning. We've had it for about a month now and she will shoo us out of the room when the clock closes its eyes, and will go to sleep on her own. The wife hates it because the baby doesn't want to be held anymore before bed lol she just wants to be put down in the crib.
It's expensive, yes, but it's an investment that has massively paid off. |
So my wife bought the clock that has the blue star yellow sun called the Gro-Clock and its paid off big time. Bought it for $15 off marketplace and it is probably the best $15 i ever spent. My 2 1/2 year old son was a horrible sleeper, he would get up 1-3 times a night and i would have to cosleep with him. We used this clock and after about 4 days he now sleeps 10-11hrs straight for 2 months now and ocassionally wakes up and gets out of bed maybe once a week, if that. I believe EvoFire? has this too
