This is the Educational Institution Edition of "Visual Countdown Timer". It has all the great features of the normal version but comes without any Ads or InApp purchases, and is opted into Apple's volume discount for educational institutions. COPPA and GDPR compliant. Is it a battle to get your child to do something quickly? This visual countdown App was designed for my 2 year old son to help him get his reward chart star for getting dressed quickly. Getting him dressed used to take forever with many stalling strategies being deployed. Now he runs upstairs asking for the "Countdown". Watch as the timer runs from green to amber to red, helping the child understand that time is running out. A fun picture is slowly revealed as the time runs down and when the time is up the child is rewarded with an exciting sound and the picture spins. Background image changes to match the time of day, so that your child is given subtle hints as to what time of day the task they are being asked relates to. Choose your own image to reveal from your iPhones photo library to really surprise your child. Endless possible uses: * Getting dressed * Getting out the door (shoes and coats on) * Tidying * Brushing teeth * Sharing toys Turns daily struggles into fun time!

Rockstarkids has been a game-changer for our family. We initially had the application developed for personal use to create structure and help our children with school and discipline. The outcome has been nothing short of amazing! Why is it such an amazing tool? The concept is simple, yet powerful because it uses the psychology of rewards and incentives to help children achieve lofty goals. It creates a win-win environment between children and parents and eliminates tension and arguments at home. How it works: Every parent has an idea of the expectations they want to see in their children. For example, wouldn’t be nice for children to do their homework, complete their chores, and do other tasks without being asked in a timely manner? This tool helps you achieve all of these and more. Using RockstarKids, you turn the expected goal for your child into a task and assign a time for it to be completed. Each task that is completed on time can be used to accumulate points which can be used to redeem rewards. The tool also allows parents to create multiple rewards that are given point values by associating tasks with rewards. Rewards can range from monetary allowance, to movie nights, to a special night out with parents, to getting a wanted toy. The reward ideas are only limited by the parents' imagination. The outcome is a happy child, less stressful parents, and harmony in the home. While there are many benefits to using Rockstarkids as a tool, here are just a few of them: - Children develop discipline and independence - They learn time management and work ethic - They learn to become responsible and take initiative - Improve academic success and excellence - Healthy parent-child relationship - Gives children a sense of being part of the household team - Good habits We encourage you to try it for free and see why the parents who are already using this tool are wondering where was it all along.
