Customer Testimonials
Parents know they should set up and maintain routines with school age children, but many
parents find themselves nagging their kids to stay on task. Using the On·Task On·Time for
Kids timer gives you a better way to start and end your day.
Here are a few comments from our customers:
We didn’t use it the first few days of the new school year and the mornings were a nightmare.
Going back to using it again made everything easier just like last year. My daughter still finds it
exciting to use.
Nancy, mom of Faith, Tennessee
I wanted to write to you to let you know that our daughter has been using the On·Task On·Time
for a week now, and we couldn't be more thrilled! It was nothing short of a miracle! The first day
using it she only needed one verbal reminder and she was ready for school 10 minutes early
(this never happens). The second day, no reminders and she was ready 15 minutes early! It has
completely changed our interactions with each other. She enjoys it and after the first morning of
using it, she came home from school and asked if we could set up her afternoon disc and
evening disc. Amazing! You can see it on her face that she has a sense of pride that she is able
to get herself ready in the morning. A child's self esteem is established through self confidence
and self confidence is gained by being able to complete tasks or activities on your own. I will be
forever grateful to you and your invention!
Marcy, mom in Ohio
Our six year old is diagnosed with ADHD, and we cannot get ready for school without our On-
Task unit. You have invented a terrific product!
Katya, mom of 6 year old son, Portland, Maine
I have been very impressed with On·Task On·Time for Kids. I decided to order two because
of the personalities of my children (ages 8 and 10). The younger is quite agreeable, while the
older tends to take charge, and I wanted to encourage the younger one to be able to be the boss
of his own chores. Since we've gotten our units in September (and we got them as birthday
presents!), I would not say all the problems are solved. But the problem of the children knowing
what to do is solved, and the obedience problems are illuminated so that when they don't get it
all done, we can see a bit more easily where the problems lie. We are home schoolers and love
the help with structure in the mornings and at night (we haven't done our night "wheel" as often
yet, though). The 10-year old is diabetic and we include in her chores the checking of her sugar
and giving herself insulin... As you might guess, this makes it a matter of not only the sanity that
comes to all of us from being better organized, but of instilling essential habits into her for her
health's sake... I wondered if my children were too old, but they aren't. In fact, another mom friend
and I agree that we could probably use one ourselves! I could not have asked for better
customer service when I have had questions and concerns. Thank you so much, and thank you
for this valuable product!
Dee Dee, mom of 2, North Carolina
It's been a few months now since my daughter has been using On·Task On·Time and I wanted
to let you know how it's worked wonders for her. She enjoys using it still, looks forward to it
really, and things are very calm around here. There has been no nagging, yelling or getting too
frustrated. Her teacher has even noticed a difference in her time management skills at school.
Thank you so much!
Danna, mom of Lexi 6, Hartford, CT
Let me just let you know how thrilled I am with this product! I bought one for my son and it has
worked like a charm. My daughters begged me for their own and I'm looking forward to a stress-
free morning, a thing I never knew could be possible!
-- Sharon, mom of three OnTask-OnTime Kids, Swampscott, MA
My step daughter is diagnosed with ADHD and a Mood Disorder NOS. She also receives OT,
PT and speech to address other neurological issues. Based on all of these needs she has no
sense of time. A clock and regular timer did not assist us with daily routines, she also could not
remember her daily routine. she was constantly late. With the visual timer somehow it sunk in that
this was somehow helpful to her in measuring time. Although things are not perfect this is one
less battle I have to fight in the morning and after school. I do appreciate the timer every day, I
was driving myself crazy her level of functioning was not going to change. Even ADHD
medication did not help me at home based on when it kicks in and when it wears off. The timer
is truly a peace maker in my household. No more yelling.... this is true...
-- Anonymous Mom
We started using the On·Task On·Time for Kids timer a few months back when we first got it
and it's AMAZING what a positive change in our routine it's made. Like you mentioned, it just
ELIMINATES the power struggles.
-- Christine, mom of Giuliana 5, Novato, CA
Ryann got up this morning and I went in her room with the On·Task On·Time for Kids Timer.
Her eyes immediately got big and she wanted to know more about it. I had it ready for her (not
recommended- but worked for us) I told her that she had shown her dad and I that she was
completely capable of getting ready on her own for K and this tool is something that could help
her. “I said what’s the first thing on the wheel showing you to do?” (picture of the girl and the
toilet) she says “going to get my milk for toonie." GULP! After a few minutes of explaining the
wheel and showing her the part on it for toonies and milk she rolled her eyes and said “Let’s go.”
I had made a few home changes that helped with the system. I got all of her bathroom stuff
labeled so each task had a destination. For example all of her tooth care is in its own jar ready
for her to get to. Same for her hair stuff and sunblock. This is the first time she has been totally
in charge of doing this on her own. She loved it! I also set up her little toy kitchen with a b-fast
menu and all the food and toaster, bowls, plates and utensils at her level. She loved this! I could
never get her to eat b-fast before preschool (power struggle between us) but today she chose
from her menu and made her own food and sat at the bar and ate. Not one word of complaint!
Kindergarten here we come! WHAT AN AWESOME TOOL! I feel so lucky to have had this!
Day 1 was such a success I highly recommend this product!
-- Liz, mom of Ryann 5, Novato, CA
"This dang thing works! This morning was our first On·Task On·Time test....
She was actually ready 'early' and standing by the door. She even made sure the twins were
dressed! She carried that timer around like it was her little dolly. There was only one fight when
my boy twin turned the dial. She could tell by looking at the timer that she had some time to sit
and play blocks with the twins, and she even remembered we forgot to put a brush teeth sticker
on for the morning routine wheel. So far so good!
-- Dianne, mom of Kellyann 5, Jeffrey 3, Kimberly 3, St. Augustine Beach, FL
"I absolutely love your timer! Cassie is completely addicted to it - she pulls it out
on her own now, and won't take a bath or pick up without it right there. Every mom
everywhere should have one of these!
-- Susan, mom of Cassie 9, Delaware, OH
"Kathryn loves her On·Task On·Time timer, with a morning routine that she
helped create. After setting the timer herself, she carries it around the
house while doing the tasks that are shown. She feels more independent
and good about getting ready for school all by herself. She¹s more
motivated to get up in the morning just so she can start the timer running. On·Task
On·Time for Kids frees me up to get myself ready. We all go to school much
happier and less harried."
-- Sheri, mom of Kathryn 7, Cupertino, CA
"After being tardy a few times, we decided to purchase
the On·Task On·Time for Kids system. We have always been on time since. There's even
time to play with friends at school before the bell rings.
What a great way to start the day!"
-- Tina, mom of Cynthia 6, Cupertino, CA
"This has completely changed our lives – at least in the morning.
We used to have power struggles to get out the door.
Within a week, my daughter was trying to beat the clock.
She now gets ready without nagging and usually has time
to read or play before school. It’s genius."
-- Paul, dad of Jacklyn 8, Los Angeles, CA
"I have set up On·Task On·Time for Kids at Lotus for our morning routine (8:45-9:45) and for
waking up after nap (2:30-3:30). 3-4 kids write their names on the unit, and
they are to monitor that hour. You should have heard them! "I'm in charge, I'm in charge!" "I'm
the boss" They took their job seriously as they were now the teachers! Those in charge would
let the others know that it was time to put the toys away,
to use the bathroom, to wash hands, to read books, to eat, to put shoes on......!
Your kids are so proud to be independent that the teachers can just sit back and relax!
--Lynne Yamaichi, Director, Lotus Pre-School
"The timer eliminated the constant nagging and yelling!"
"Kids using the timer in the evening worked just as great as it did in the morning."
"Danielle is even helping Jason (younger brother) use it, too."
--Michelle, mom of Danielle 6, Cupertino, CA
"It’s great; she loves it and so do I…She’s ‘beaten the clock’ every time!!!
My AM’s are so peaceful now!!"
"Wow, she is so independent now! “
"It’s so much calmer now as I don’t have to find her and remind her all the time."
--Fran, mom of Bronwen 7, Cupertino, CA
"Makes the morning so much easier!",
"It really puts the responsibility on my daughter and relieves the stress and tension.”
--Karen, mom of Betty, 10, Seattle, WA
"I don't need the rewards; I love this!"
--Betty, age 10, Seattle, WA
"I love this product truly."
"The timer keeps (my daughter) moving. She races around the house and goes to check where
she is on the timer."
--Eve, mom of Sally, 11, Seattle, WA
"I think this is a clever and genuinely useful product. This is a must-have tool for parents who are
developing organized and self motivated kids.”
"This simplifies normal routine chores, removing the need for regular parental nagging.”
--Ben, dad of David,7 and Grace,6 Cupertino, CA
"Already, it has made our lives and morning and bedtime routines a lot easier. It’s been very
helpful.”
--Trisha, mom of Taylor, 8, and Kamryn, 6, San Diego, CA
"My daughter likes the timer and said it helped her remember what to do next."
"Helps her remember everything she needs to do and what she needs to do next without too
much reminding. It also helps motivate her since she is very competitive and wants to get done
before the timer goes off."
--Wendy, mom of Emily, 6, San Diego, CA
"Frankie is doing great…The system is working."
--Tanya, mom of Frankie, 5, New Jersey
"We set the timer up and it worked wonders today!"
--Lesly, mom of Kenton, 5, San Jose, CA
"I didn't need to remind my son of what things needed to be done; he would look at the timer. He
loved the graphics, setting it up, figuring out what the routine would be, and in what order the
routine would happen."
--Suzanne, mom of Coleman 6, Seattle, WA
"It’s a great idea that I was always looking for."
--Peggy, mom of Derek, Cupertino, CA
