OK to Wake clocks can be a wonderful tool for helping children learn healthy sleep habits and boundaries around bedtime and wake time. However, they are sometimes misused in ways that cause frustration for both kids and parents. With the right instructions and expectations, these clocks can support children’s sense of independence and predictability while also promoting better sleep for the whole family. Pairing the OK to Wake clock with the Sleep Superstar Chart, or other systems of positive reinforcement, can make it even more effective.
