TV Timer Gives Parents Even More Control

Share

Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Accessories, Home Entertainment, Household

TV Timer We recently told you about Best NetGuard, which allows parents to control when and how long their kids spend time online, with just the push of a button. Now we present the similarly-themed TV Timer, which lets you set up to three TV viewing (or video game-playing) periods per day—and is controlled by a PIN number you’ve set. How does it work? Simply connect the TV’s plug into the Timer, then screw it in with a hex key to “lock” it. Plug the Timer into an outlet, set up the viewing times and PIN and you’re done! The one catch is that the device is only available through a British website—so it only accepts European plugs. We hope the makers create a US version soon. The TV Timer is available for 24.95 pounds.

There is actually a device called The Time Machine.  It is an easy effective way to limit TV and video game time while teaching time management!
The Time Machine is an innovative tool that parents can use to create and enfore limits on their childs TV, DVD, and videogame use without the arguments and complaining.  Parents give their child time tokens worth 30 minutes of time and s(he) redeems them.  Parents decide how thier child earns each token and s(he) decides how and when to spend them.  It rewards good behavior and teaches time management.
