Then, use the lamp just like you would the Gro Clock, setting it to turn on at whatever time you choose, and teach them that they're only allowed to wake up when the lamp turns on. Make sure the adjustable brightness light is low or off at night and make sure it’s out of a child’s reach as they’ll often have USB plugs and cables.

Even when they can’t yet tell the time they will soon learn when they need to close their eyes and go back to sleep and when it’s okay for them to spring out of bed, ready to play. Top tip : If your child is used to waking at 6am, don’t set the clock for 8am and expect them to suddenly stay in bed for an extra 2 hours.This ingenious, top-quality gadget will ensure plenty of sleep for them, and more precious sleep for you, too! If your baby does not know his colors or your baby can not be taught easily, then this may not be the right product for you. We have tried pretty much everything with J over the last 3 years and barely anything has actually worked, so I was delighted for us to be able to review The Gro Clock from The Gro Company as I have heard good things about them.

The Gro Clock aims to encourage early risers to stay in bed longer with a dual-pronged attack, using a storybook alongside the clock to encourage children to stay in bed until the sun comes up. If this is the case for you, then you may also want to choose a wake clock that has a night light feature (aim for reds and warmer colours). Teaching kids to stay under the covers until a preset time assures more sleep in general and those golden weekend lie-ins.When I consulted the information book I discovered that it had a function on the clock to combat this in the form of a lock so little fingers can’t mess around with it. The clock is also very lightweight, which is perfect for travel – and if you have a toddler who’ll wait for the sun to rise, that could be hugely helpful with jetlag. It’s not that I think it’s a bad product – it’s a great idea, well designed and cleverly thought out – and I know plenty of people who wouldn’t be without it, so perhaps it’s simply down to your toddler’s reaction. We have been using the Gro-Clock for a couple of weeks now, and it has become a vital part of our bedtime routine.
