We recommend that Goodtimer remain on as long as your child is making good choices and following your house rules as defined by your family. When reading the Goodtimer Children's book, you may have seen the worksheet after page 21 where you define your "house rules". If you haven't done this already, we encourage you to work on your house rules as a family and make sure everyone understands them. If, for example, your house rules include going to bed on time and staying in bed through the night, and your child is doing this, we recommend leaving Goodtimer on through the night. Your child will continue to earn Good Time through the night and may even be excited to see that they earned a token in the morning. If Goodtimer stays by their bedside at night, it can serve as a nightlight. However, you may want to adjust the brightness by touching the metal contact ring around the speaker on the top to dim the light to a level that is comfortable for your child. You may also want to use the left button on the front of Goodtimer to lower the volume to the lowest setting or to mute it so that Goodtimer's voice doesn't disturb them while they sleep.
