Do you want to keep track of how much the baby has slept today? Or how much screen time your child is getting? Or maybe how much reading you have done across the week? Use Simple Time and keep track of that one important thing. You can start, pause, and stop your tracker, and also ask how much time was tracked. If you need to take a break at any point, just ask the tracker to pause, then come back later to keep tracking where you left off!
One of the best things about Simple Time is that it can be a communal tracker; one person can start tracking time, while a different person can stop or pause it. If you have a nanny or babysitter, have mom start Simple Time on her way out when the babysitter arrives, and have dad stop the timer once he he gets home.
As a parent, it can be a challenge to enforce screen time limitations for kids. By using Simple Time to do this, not only are you tracking the screen time in a concrete way that everyone can understand, but you’re also empowering your child to begin developing time management and self-regulation skills. Work as a team with your child! Start the timer yourself by saying, “Alexa, ask Simple Time to start tracking screen time,” then encourage your child to be the one that self-regulates by requesting Alexa to stop the timer, so they don’t get jipped on their screen time!
