Started using sand timers with the 4 yo with regards to getting undressed/dressed and brushing teeth and they have made a massive difference for now.

I got some from Amazon with come in different colours and denominations. For example, using the 5 minute one for him to remove his day clothes and put on his pajamas becomes less of an interpersonal battle and becomes a race against time for him.

I suspect these will be really useful when school starts.

Anyway, I'm probably a little behind the times (heh!), but I just wanted to share my sand timer lurve!

We’ve 10 minute and 2 minute egg timers. They are really useful. We got ours from bigjigs. We use them so they can see the time passing if we say you can have 10 mins of iPad or I will okay football in 10 mins.
