Frequently Asked Questions
In developing this product, we have worked with a number of families. Here are some
of the questions we've encountered.
For what age range is the On·Task On·Time for Kids best suited?
This product was designed for children grades kindergarten through 5th grade, although
some younger children and some older children have also used On·Task On·Time for
Kids successfully.
What if I want to change the routine after I've put the stickers on the disk?
The stickers have repositionable adhesive and can be removed and reused. Just peel the
sticker off the disk, and place it in the new position.
What if there isn't a sticker for the task I want?
Blank stickers are included in the basic package, so you can make your own tasks using
a permanent marker.
How long is each routine?
Each routine disk will cover a maximum of one hour.
The individual task stickers vary in time from 2 minutes to 5 minutes, but can be
customized by overlapping stickers (to shorten the time) or leaving extra space
(increasing the time).
Do I need one timer for each of my children?
If your children’s routines are very similar and they are run during the same time, one
On·Task unit should work well. If your younger child is good-natured about following
his/her older sibling, it’s recommended that the routine be set up for the older child.
Then, the older child can be in charge and help the younger child step through the
routine.
However, if the routines for your children are very different because of age differences or
time constraints, a timer for each child would work the best.
My child says that the sound of the timer ticking makes him nervous. What
should I do?
If your child is anxious about the sound of the timer ticking, try a few days without
activating the timer. Just place the Routine Disk on the On·Task unit, and all the tasks
will be displayed in the order to be completed, but your child will not need to worry about
the ticking.
There are certain days of the week that my child needs special reminders,
but it is not every day. How do I include these reminders?
The whiteboard was included just for these special days. You can write special notes or
reminders with the included dry-erase markers.
What types of task stickers do you supply?
