This interactive educational toy is a powerfully effective tool for reinforcing positive behavior in children. The included picture book playfully tells the Goodtimer origin story and provides specifics on how the device works, cultivating a relaxed, cooperative atmosphere from the get-go. After everyone has agreed on a set of house rules to be followed and a menu of personalized rewards that reflect what the child truly values, it is time to press Goodtimer's 'on' button. A hearty "Hello!" rings out and the first of 12 segments on the toy's surface lights up. As the day progresses, additional segments become illuminated, accompanied each time by cheerful sound effects and words of encouragement. If the child misbehaves, simply flip Goodtimer to pause it and right it again once amends have been made. When all 12 segments are glowing, the child can retrieve one of the Goodtimer tokens from the device and exchange it, then or later, for one of the rewards previously decided on. Goodtimer's patented, neuroscience-backed approach gives parents an easy-to-follow method for shaping kids' behavior using solely positive means, the many benefits of which include a marked increase in happiness and harmony for the entire family.
