I don’t want to minimize any of the Elepho products because all of them are equally important, but for now, I am going to hone in on one of their products in this editorial; the eClip. Here is the link to their site if you would like to see their other products: https://elepho.com/

I also want to say before I get started, that forgetting your child’s needs for a short period of time doesn’t mean you’re a bad parent. And for those of you who never lose track of anything, that doesn’t mean that it won’t happen in the future. I just want you to have an open mind and know that Elepho has been thinking about how to make things safer and better for many, many years.

Your child is obviously your most precious cargo. What parent doesn’t want the best for them and will place their safety above anything else. Well, that’s exactly how Elepho feels. They have been spending countless hours innovating new ideas on how to keep our children safe.

Most of us have had the opportunity to meet our grandparents and perhaps even our great-grandparents. And if we look back to sixty years ago, life was so much different. Few TV’s, the radio was probably the biggest distraction. No computers, cell phones, or internet. Well, and people probably didn’t travel as much either. Aside from that, the mother almost always was a stay at home mom with only one mission in life; keeping the children safe. Hey, if I only had one thing to do, I could do that too.

Today, most parents both work. Some have more than one job. Add in a social life with internet, cell phone apps and conversations on multiple social media platforms; need I go on?!? Yeah, so occasionally we all have a momentary laps of reason. With eClip, it’s no sweat. They do the thinking for you. And for about the price of one trip to the fast-food restaurant down the street, you can have Elepho remind you every time you forget.

Now I’m not saying that it is part of your child’s DNA after purchase. You still have to remember to clip it on to your child and turn it on, but it works by Bluetooth and pairs with the app on your phone. And it works with Apple Phones as well as Android Phones.

Let’s say you go to the Mall and you get out of the car like you have 900 other times and guess what? You start to walk away from the car, just like you did the other 899 times. Well, the eClip app (which can be for Android and iOS devices) connects to eClip via low energy Bluetooth (BLE) and automatically notifies you if you move away from your car without your child. The app also allows you to set temperature alert levels, offers a wide range of alert sounds and even allows you to add your baby’s name and picture. Another great feature in the app is that it monitors the eClip battery and tells you when to replace it.

Simply attach eClip to baby’s car seat, diaper bag or seat belt and connect it to the eClip app. The app will alert you if you move more than 25 feet from the vehicle or if the temperature in your car is too hot or too cold.

In the last 20 years, more than 850 children have died from heatstroke in hot cars due to forgotten baby syndrome. While we know parents would never knowingly put their children in danger, statistics show that even the most loving parents have faced terrible tragedies. The people at Elepho wants to help you avoid what could happen to anyone. Here is their link: https://elepho.com/.

Bambino is a fantastic app that helps you find trustworthy sitters that are a perfect fit for you. It is not just an app; it is more like a community built a way to find that perfect someone.

It takes that challenging hunt for someone you trust to watch your children and makes it even more comfortable. I know I am overprotective and not someone that trusts easily. My kids are my world, as I am sure they are for you as well. Though life does not stop just because you have kids, and sadly you can not take them everywhere. 

All you have to do is get on the app and set when you need a sitter. Then they find the best one for you. It is THAT easy. You will have all the information you need based on who the neighborhood likes even. They get rated for the job they do when they sit for others. It truly takes the guessing work out of it. 

I do not typically keep random cash on me. We are in a digital world now, and I tend to have my debit card on hand and pay a lot of things online. With Bambino, once the sitter has finished their job, you pay them right on the app along with rating them. It is like the Uber of babysitting. 

Please don’t be shy about rating them. It is someone that you hopefully use again and will want to make sure they get the jobs they deserve. Be fair and do your part of this job. It is easy and takes minimal time. 

Make sure you take the date nights with your significant other! There is no “I can’t find a babysitter” anymore! Open your app and find the right sitter for a night you want to go out.

With Allessimo, you can help bring imagination to your children! They are wooden 3D puzzles that you can then paint once you have them together. My kids genuinely adore putting these together and essentially bringing something to life. 

My daughters love creating things. I prefer something to be somewhat educational as well. So lucky for me that Allessimo is more than just a fun 3D puzzle. It helps with STEM skills and helping them learn critical thinking. It truly helps them think outside the box. 

I love helping my girls be as creative as possible. The more they practice, the more confident they become. It also shows in their work over time how much they learn and what they enjoy doing. I encourage all of their creative endeavors. Allessimo truly helps with their creativity and so much more. 

Create Memories With Your Kids

Creating memories with my children is one of the most important things to me. My kids won’t remember how much money I made or what I bought them. My kids will remember the things we did together and the fun times we had. I think when it is also education, and they don’t know it, it makes it that much better for me. 

There is a wide range of options that will appeal to anyone. You can choose from animals, dinosaurs, vehicles that are for air, land, and sea! My youngest is really into dinosaurs and unicorns, so that is what she gravitates too. My oldest loves all animals. So there is a way for them all to be happy. 

Having my kids build these puzzles uses both sides of their brain. They are trying to get the pieces together to fit perfectly. Once that is complete, my youngest favorite part is painting! It brings out the creative aspect of each of these puzzles. 

Amazingly crafted pieces and high quality paints to create something amazing with your children. It brings memories they will remember forever and a neat figure when it is done that they can set up in their room. Such a unique and fun reminder of great times together and how their brains worked to make something beautiful. 

When thinking of great things to do with your children to help their minds grow, think of Allessimo. Let there be learning and creativity to help your kid’s minds grow. The best part for me is the memories we create together as we build together.

Everyone knows what a stoplight is. Teach them how it works and watch as things begin to change. No longer will they be confused about how long or when something is to happen. The Stoplight Golight gives them a visual way to know when time is up or when to start their next task. 

Even if it is just making sure they read for 30 minutes a day. This can give them that visual to read, look up, and know that their time is NOT up. No longer stopping and asking you how much longer. This timer gives them something to see exactly if their time is up or not. 

Helps with Bedtime!

One of my favorite things it helps with is bedtime. My daughter is big on needing a timer to know when to go to bed. The best part is that as soon as the timer goes off, she crawls right into bed. Consistency is so helpful for kids to keep a routine and no more tantrums. 

I can never emphasize enough how important routines are for kids and parents. I get comments about how “easy” my children are. I swear they did not come out of the box like this. They had their fair share of tantrums and outbursts, but with a regular routine, they almost disappeared. They know when to expect things and what is expected, and they do it. 

It is hard work to get kids used to a routine, especially without something like Stoplight Golight. Having done it with a timer and without, I would hands down suggest using Stoplight Golight. It was a game-changer in getting my kids used to a routine. 

My kids behave better and get into their routines better with Stoplight Golight. Knowing what is coming and having something visual to see genuinely helps them. My kids use it for all routines and even tasks they must do. It is incredible to see the transitions and the ease from what I am used to. Keep your kids calm and transition smoothly with Stoplight Golight.

1 Reading 

Kids sometimes struggle with reading as much as they should. Using Stoplight Golight would allow them to focus on reading and less time watching the clock. Help them to grow their confidence in reading. 

2 Chores

Sometimes kids like to put off chores. So setting up the timer to tell them how long they have to do chores can keep them on task. It helps my daughters to buckle down and even finish their duties before the timer is up. 

3 Brushing Teeth

Kids need to brush their teeth thoroughly. Cavities are no fun, and the best way to keep them away is keeping their teeth clean. Setting up a visual timer like Stoplight Golight will keep them brushing until the light turns green. 

4 Staying In Bed

Between nap times and even bedtime, kids will keep trying to get out of bed. My youngest likes to have every excuse in the book to get up. With a visual timer, she knows unless she has to go to the bathroom, there is no reason to get out of bed. Even helps in the mornings when kids get up way earlier than they should. It will keep them in bed until a reasonable time. 

5 Screen Time

Keeping kids from staring at screens all day can be stressful. My youngest can not tell time, so she can not keep track of how long she has. I try to make sure they have plenty of screen time, but even more time to do things without them. Screen time is a privilege, and they should enjoy it and then go out to play.

6 Timeouts

It is hard for kids to know how long timeouts are. Taking them back and forth and arguing. They ask how long they have to wait. Luckily with a visual timer, they can see when their timeout is up. Then you can sit down and discuss their actions and why it was wrong.  

The visual timer Stoplight Golight helps with all of these things. If you have other ways you think it would be helpful, please comment below.

The post 6 Great Ways To Use A Visual Time appeared first on Mom Blog Society.

Some of us parents have a standard routine, and some want to start new ones or add new things to it. With younger children, especially the strong-willed crowd, it can be full of tantrums, and I am not about that. I find that if they have something visual, they can see, it makes it easier on them and us! 

Routines are so important, I think, to every parent. I am often told people wished their kids were as easy as mine. They don’t live with them, but I tell them every time; It is about the routines! The kids know what to expect through the day; they are more liable to do what is asked and do not have tantrums as often because they feel in control. No surprises. 

In that too, sometimes with moves and changes in life, the routines change. My youngest is incredibly strong-willed. Luckily she got that from me, so I can typically handle it. Though I want to make a change for her more comfortable and with Stoplight Golight, it is one thing added to the routine and makes her feel in more control. 

She knows when the light changes, she is done doing the task at hand. As she gets older, she is required to do more chores, and each one has a time limit. So she knows to do the task until the light changes. It causes fewer tantrums and less fighting. She can visually see when she can stop, and it takes the work out of it! 

One task I truly adore having a timer for is brushing their teeth. Teeth health is so important to have. So my kids have to brush for the appropriate amount of time. I witnessed my daughter just running the toothbrush over her teeth quickly, and then she ran off to play before bed. Nope, your teeth deserve so much more attention. So now they know they rub it around until the light changes. 

There are so many things that the Stoplight Golight timer can help with. No task too small or too big. Keep your kid feeling in control and knowing when time is up. Let chores and routines be transformed with the ease of a visual timer. I am not sure what I did before this was brought into my life!

I dislike the temper tantrums or the stopping reading to ask me if their time is up already. Stoplight Golight takes that step out. They can look up and know if time is up or not. So they can stay more invested in practicing to read and going too far off places and doing magical things with their imagination. 

The importance of reading should always be overemphasized. It takes you to magical places and even teaches you anything you want. Some of our favorite books have been in movies and tv shows. It makes it so much fun to watch it after you have read it. I have shared some of my favorite books with my children, and most are above their reading level, but we still read them together. Just like The Hobbit. It was one of my favorites, and I read it to them before we even watched the movie. So many magical things between those pages that are missed on the big screen. 

Your kids need to read and often. They should read everything they desire and keep practicing. Reading opens so many doors to learning and magical places! They take the time to read and can learn about history, science, and everything. They should read every day for the time limit that works best for you and your family. I recommend 20 minutes, at least. 

Stoplight Golight will keep them from throwing tantrums about it with the schedule you create. Kids thrive on routine, and if it is routine and they have something they can see that lets them know, it works best. Keep them on track with learning and routines with this visual timer and let the world open for your children. 

I love watching their imagination grow as they read, and I encourage reading every day. Luckily my youngest is okay with sitting to read, but with the visual timer, it makes things easier. She does not get up to ask me if her time is up, because she can see it. She knows when the light changes, she can stop reading. Keep their minds growing every day with the help of Stoplight Golight.

Children do so well with a visual aid when it is time for them to sit in time out. Instead of the tantrums because they have no concept of time, they can watch the Stoplight Golight. It lets them know for now they remain seated and when the light changes, they can talk about their punishment and what happened. 

Each child is different and some kids do well with time-outs and others need something else. My oldest a time-out was all it took. She hated them. Having to sit still for the number of minutes that are her age felt like hours to her. This girl would do literally anything to not have a time out. My youngest, on the other hand, does not care, I could give her as many time outs as I want. Though I take her tablet and she is a fool. It is about finding that thing that works best for our kids. 

Having something that your children can watch and know when the time is up, helps a considerable amount. They won’t keep asking when time is up or throwing a fit about it. They will calm down and watch for the light to change. It makes these situations less stressful on child and parent. No one likes the yelling and tantrums and with Stoplight Golight they can fixate on waiting for the light and before y’all know it, timeout is over. 

This is the beauty of Stoplight Golight because it is great for almost anything. Be it bedtime or time-outs you can be sure that it helps lower tantrums and keeps things calm. They know their time limits because they have visual confirmation. It helps them know what is expected and makes it easier for everyone. 

I think it is an amazing tool that all parents can benefit from. It can help in many situations where a tantrum can happen causing stress levels to rise in everyone. Have them focus on the light and when the light changes then time is up. It really makes stress around certain situations better. Give it a try!
