This app is a great timer for kids' daily routine tasks such as taking a shower, using the toothbrush or their favourite reading time. Many kids don't understand how to read a clock yet or even a concept like "you have 10 minutes time left!" - this app will be a perfect fit. It teaches kids to self discipline in a funny and non teacher-like manner. Audio and visual alerts help to keep track of their schedule. What suits children will also suit the parents: any kind of schedule like class work, repetitive or ad-hoc sequences of tasks or even sport workouts can be simply scheduled. A special note to parents having a child with ADHD or Asperger: probably time management is often a struggle - especially for seemingly simple tasks like getting dressed or some housework. Such kids do not notice time passing like other kids do. We believe that our timer will be a great support for their daily planning and the ability to finish tasks. Happy timing!
