This time of year its very hard for a toddler or young child to navigate time management and understand when its time to sleep vs when its time to be awake and active. This was the case on our house. My 5 year old has a tendency to wake up in the mornings a few hrs early for school and because its December in Ohio, its dark up until 7-8am. Naturally his body assumes its time to be awake despite the fact that it is only 4am sometimes. This clock was a GOD SEND. easy to read indicators (color of light) helped him to know that it was still time to sleep at 4 am instead of come wake up mom convinced it was time for breakfast. Thank you Big Red Rooster! Im sleeping in (past 5am) again! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
