American Innovative was founded to pursue the development of innovative new products that should exist, but don't. "Products that make sense" is our motto and the execution of this philosophy can be seen throughout the company's product line. Teach me Time! is the educational bedside clock that advances as your child grows. From ages 3-5 Teach me Time!'s color-changing nightlight teaches kids to stay in bed until its "Ok to wake!" The nightlight timer is programmed to turn on and off at any time of the day. Parents can customize the "Ok to wake" time, when the glow color changes from yellow to green.... "Green means Go!" From ages 5-7, the Teach me Time! interactive, talking game helps school age kids learn to tell time on both anaolg and digital clocks. The game is designed to create a dialog between you and your child about time, keeping you involved in the learning process. The Teach Me Time! game is fully adjustable - five difficulty levels allow you to restrict which times are displayed (for example, just "round" hours) so that you can start simple and progress in difficulty as your son or daughter matures. For children ages 7 and above, Teach me Time! is a fully functional alarm clock with a snooze function- just like mom or dad's! Teach me Time! is white with interchangeable colored bezels (blue, pink & yellow included). Safety-certified external AC adapter and optional 2x AAA batteries (included). Teach Me Time! has been tested for lead paint content and has passed all related tests as defined by the ASTM F963-07 sec. 4.3.5.1 safety specification.

Nothing short of a miracle!:
We bought this for our five year old, who we were having severe problems waking up in the morning, even after sleeping a cool eleven hours! On weekends, this wasn't a problem, but we're a two income family and waking her up to get dressed, fed, and out the door on weekdays was really stressful on us all. So we were hedging our bets on the fact that what she wants more than anything nowadays is to show her independence (on weekends, she loves waking up (late), picking out her own clothes, brushing teeth,... more info
Great teaching tool:
I bought this clock to help my five year-old wake up for kindergarten. It's simple to use, and it helps teach time. It offers several games of various difficulty. We learned how to tell the hour within the first couple minutes of using it. And, he loves to press the button to hear the time. I would definitely recommend this.
Good product - but the backlight IS too bright:
This seems to be working well so far for my almost-2 daughter. I programmed the clock so that it turns on the green light when it's OK for my daughter to wake up and call for me. So far, so good! I have no idea if she's actually sleeping, or if she just stares at the clock until it turns green, but she's quiet, so I'm not sure I care. ;-) While it is true that you can turn off the night light feature, there are other lights in the clock (behind the face and in the "feet") that still glow orange/yellow,... more info
Complicated Alarm Clock--Even for Parents:
The clock looks cute and I like the fact that it shows both analog and digital time. However, I had difficulty programming the clock, even by following the instructions. I recommend buying that has fewer options and is easier to use.
