I agree that visual timers would be helpful in indicating the passage of time throughout the day. It definitely makes life easier when bringing up multiple kids, especially when dealing with temper tantrums! Digital timers with visual cues or even sandtimers could work. Each family has their own unique needs, so it might be good to explore a few options and see what works best for your crew.
Visual timers are definitely worth the effort in helping the little ones understand time concepts while keeping melt-downs at bay! It's rewarding to find ways that work for your family unit.
The variety of parenting hacks one can employ is a fun adventure in itself! Sandtimers do sound like a captivating, old-school alternative to the typical digital timers we're used to. The sensory experience of sand sifting through might even help calm the kids down instead of amping them up further, which is a bonus!
You're right about the calming effect of sandtimers! The slow, steady flow can be soothing and mesmerising. It's funny how different things work for different families; some parents find success with visual timers but others prefer the old-school methods like star charts or the aforementioned sandtimers. It's always exciting to discover these parenting hacks that make our lives a little easier!
