If you have a child that is starting to test his boundaries.... seeing if you really mean it when you say the word 'no' and doesn't like to stay in their room or on a chair or a certain spot that is the 'naughty spot' as per the famous tv SuperNanny... then this is exactly what you need!!
The Time Out Pad (now available at JamTots Baby & More Store) is a fabulous invention (obviously made by parents of children that wouldn't stay still during a time out!!) that the child sits on after you set a timer for a pre-determined # of minutes.
The timer will go off to alert the child when their time out is finished so you don't look like the 'bad guy' -- it is simply the Time Out Pad telling them when the time out is over--and it does a countdown so they can visually see with a traffic light system when their time out is coming to an end. (Ending the endless "is my time out over yet??" questions!)
However the BEST PART is that the timer countdown will pause if the child leaves the time out pad--so they have an incentive to stay seated on the pad--as the time out will be over faster if they stay seated!!
Now really, I don't think that they could have thought of anything else--they really have thought of everything! My only complaint was when I went to add it to our website.... it really didn't "fit" into any of our categories on our website... not into bedtime or bathroom or safety time nor on the go, kitchen or toys.... I settled on putting in in Mommy's Gear since it would most likely be Mom (and/or Dad!) using it -- and heck I had no idea where else to put it and didn't want a whole new main category just for the one product!! :)
I just wish they had invented the Time Out Pad many years ago - I really could have used this with my first son!!
