For example, a bath-time routine could look like this: use the toilet, flush, hop in the shower, wash your body, wash your hair, splash and play, then dry off.

Do you know Time Timer?

Having a good perception and understanding of time reduces stress and increases safety. With the Time Timer, time is visualised, and you actually don't need to be able to tell time in order to keep track of how the minutes are counting down.

For instance, if your child has fifteen minutes to wolf down some cereal in the morning, then simply set your Time Timer to 15 minutes. Then, the clock silently counts down, while the red/blue disc gradually shrinks.

We have several Time Timer models to choose from. For example, Time Timers come as wristwatches, with different minute counts, and in various sizes. The Time Timer is also great for children and adults with special needs. The bigger models are suitable for bigger settings or for visually impaired users. They have high colour resolution and silent timers without ticking.

This is how the classic 60-minute Time Timer works:
The clock counts down, but it goes clockwise and the numbers also go down instead of up.

It's very logical. For example, if you need to adjust the Time Timer to 25 minutes, so your child understands there are 25 minutes left of the evening before teeth need to be brushed and lunchboxes need to be packed, this is how it's done on the standard Time Timer:

Set the red disc so it covers 25 minutes. Now the dial is white from "12 o’clock" to where it would say "35 minutes" on the face of a regular clock – because from "35" to "12 o’clock" is 25 minutes.

The clever thing about the Time Timer is that the dial is reversed. On the Time Timer, the dial logically shows "25" (not 35) when you set the timer to 25 minutes. And the red disc counts down from "25" instead of counting up from "35".

So, this means you need to adjust the Time Timer to "25" when you want to time 25 minutes. When 5 minutes have gone by, the red disc will show "20" minutes, so it's clear to see that there are only 20 minutes left until toothbrushing time.
