Why warnings work better when kids can see them
A spoken “five minutes!” is quickly forgotten. A timer your child can glance at keeps the warning alive the whole time, so when it ends, they've already been getting ready for it.
A three-step transition
- Show — start the timer where your child can see it, and say what comes next.
- Check in — point to the timer halfway: “The ring is almost home.”
- Switch — when the buddy calls, move to the next thing straight away.
Everyday transitions
Families use Munch Buddy for leaving the playground, ending screen time, tidy-up, bedtime, toothbrushing and getting out of the door in the morning. Because the buddy calls until a grown-up answers, you'll always know when it's time to switch.
