Her kid can get out of bed when the lamp turns on in the morning.</p> <p><a href="https://amzn.com/B0191ZGELS" rel="nofollow">https://amzn.com/B0191ZGELS</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ok-to-wake-type-clock-for-toddler#post-2637796 Mon, 17 Oct 2016 11:18:07 +0000 littlejoy 2637796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsRoo: Thank you for that tip - I'll have to keep it out of reach, because my LO would totally do that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ok-to-wake-type-clock-for-toddler#post-2637795 Mon, 17 Oct 2016 11:17:44 +0000 littlejoy 2637795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rattles: Haha! I have a very "DGAF" toddler too. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ok-to-wake-type-clock-for-toddler#post-2637549 Sun, 16 Oct 2016 18:56:03 +0000 rattles 2637549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the OK to Wake. She gets the point but DGAF. :silly:</p> <p>ETA: she follows it for nap/quiet time, but in the morning she thinks if the sun is up, she should be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ok-to-wake-type-clock-for-toddler#post-2637548 Sun, 16 Oct 2016 18:52:15 +0000 erinbaderin 2637548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Gro clock. It works (we also have a gate on his door) but almost every weekend day we're awakened at 6am by a toddler bellowing "DADDY THE SUN IS AWAKE!" I wish it had an option to set a later clock on weekends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ok-to-wake-type-clock-for-toddler#post-2637534 Sun, 16 Oct 2016 18:14:36 +0000 Foodnerd81 2637534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Ok to Wake clock. It works very well for us, my 3 yo will not leave the room until it lights up (she will sit in bed and call for us or cry though, it's not magic). It has the option of an alarm but you can turn it off so it just silently lights up at the end of nap time or at 7 am. I have it where she can't reach it to mess with the buttons. It's been a huge help for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ok-to-wake-type-clock-for-toddler#post-2637533 Sun, 16 Oct 2016 18:01:08 +0000 MrsRoo 2637533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the okay to wake clock and it worked great when we enforced it. Then we moved and had another LO and my 3 year old is now a regular in my bed....<br /> But that's totally our fault. When we first got it she was actually pretty good about staying in bed until it turned green. Our problem was getting up too early in the mornings. I'd suggest not letting your LO see you set the alarm. One time DD saw me open the back flap and then she decided she wanted to push the buttons inside and definitely turned on a random, 430 am alarm sound. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ok-to-wake-type-clock-for-toddler#post-2637531 Sun, 16 Oct 2016 17:50:24 +0000 Smurfette 2637531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlejoy: we don't have anything else on but the color change option. She can press a button and it will tell the time but she only does that when she is supposed to be going to bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ok-to-wake-type-clock-for-toddler#post-2637526 Sun, 16 Oct 2016 17:31:52 +0000 littlejoy 2637526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Does the clock make any weird noises? I assume if it does make noise, you have the option of turning it off. My worst nightmare would be a rogue alarm at 2:00 am. ;) It's easy to program?</p> <p>(I see that it talks ... you can turn that off?) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ok-to-wake-type-clock-for-toddler#post-2637524 Sun, 16 Oct 2016 17:22:18 +0000 Smurfette 2637524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have this one. It works 90% of the time. The other 10% is because she has a couple times where she just ignores the clock and would come out earlier and we didn't make her go back in her room. But she knows she stays in her room till her clock turns green. </p> [attach=1508/16/of5vh6.337x600.IMG_2381.PNG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ok-to-wake-type-clock-for-toddler#post-2637521 Sun, 16 Oct 2016 16:34:59 +0000 littlejoy 2637521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone have experience with an Ok to Wake type clock? </p> <p>(a clock that changes color to indicate that it's ok for your kiddo to get out of bed)</p> <p>We are considering this for our almost 3 year old. She's in a "big kid" bed, but will not stop trying to get out of her room multiple times a night. We have a door monkey lock (to keep her safely in her room), but I think the clock would be awesome. I'd love to hear your experiences. </p> <p>Links to ones you love as a bonus? </p>
