We also bought a Gro-egg which we have used right up until very recently to accurately measure the temperature of her bedroom. This is where a sleep trainer clock can help break down something quite complex (such as an ordinary clock), making it easy for a child to understand it’s time to sleep and wake up times. 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. Once I’d got the hang of it, I calmed down – but I recommend taking your first look at the Gro Clock without the children around! I have read some of the negative reviews, with people commenting that the light is bright (It is not too bright for us.

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.At first, he simply did not get the idea that he had to wait for the yellow sun, because he did not now what yellow was. Some children may need a consistent response from parents over a few days before really understanding how the clock works.

A sky full of dreams is our very special bedtime story where Bennie the Bear teaches Ollie the Owl all about the Groclock. The Groclock uses fun images and easy to see colours to communicate when to go back to sleep and when it's time to spring out of bed. DS is 5 nearly 6, he is an early waker and currently uses a Gro Clock to know when he can come and wake me.They both understood the concept straight away and on the first night they understood what the stars and the sunshine were telling them. She is bright and has very good speech but it wasn’t hard her for her to understand at all, she got it right away and it helped within a night or two. So much so that for about a week, my wake-up sound was the rattly noise of her pulling the Gro Clock into her bed and cuddling it before pressing all the buttons. Great review and you must be really delighted to get that extra half am hour sleep – at such small ales 30mins still means a lot! You have the option to set 2 different wake up times - one for morning and one for an afternoon nap.

If they’re not happy or start to get out of bed then we need to ask ourselves if the clock is set too far in the future as smaller shifts towards our desired morning rise time may be better. As he’s gotten older, I’ve started letting him play quietly in his room if he wants, but luckily that doesn’t happen very often,” she says.I’m not unrealistic, I’m not asking for an 8 am start (yes 8 am to me is a lie-in these days), what I’m looking for is not to be woken before 6 am. Parents are able to set multiple alarms to show your child when it’s wake-up time, naptime, toilet-time and when you want them to stay in bed just that little bit longer for a much-needed lie in.
