Do you use timer at home? You’ll be amazed in the ways you can use it with your kids for the day smoothly with routines. No more stress to deal with kids!!
The never ending abyss of indefinite time… that’s my theory. That’s why children will stall, balk, and delay things. Because they secretly fear this thing you want them to do (whatever it may be) will last for-ev-er.
It is why the timer is your new best inanimate friend.
Using timers can help kids
- understand the concept of time in simple terms. Introduce seconds, minutes, and hours using relatable examples.
- independently complete activities for a given amount of time
- set a timer for simple activities
Ways to Use Timer at home with kids

This watching tb is most difficult thing to deal with kids. Because they will never end.
i like to use timer always when my son watches tv.
When timer “ding” he doesn’t get up set.
Play time
Liam like to play before he goes to bed. we useally play about an hour. but he doesnt want to go to sleep after the time. Bt when timer “ding” and mommy’s leave the play room and Liam come out with mommy. No more challenge to make him understand it is time to go to sleep.
timing baths or showers (for older children) – especially if long showers or baths are a concern in your home.timing homework tasks (for older children) – when assigned timed tasks like fifteen minutes of maths, fifteen minutes of reading.timing clean up – for example, we are going to tidy for five minutes then relax.timing waiting time – for example explaining to the child we can’t go to the park now but we can go in half an hour, we can set the timer so the child doesn’t need to keep on asking how much time left, they can check the timer. timing the washing machine, dryer, dishwasher or other devices the child may be waiting to finish – especially if they are feeling exuberant about emptying it or frequently ask how much time is left.
