Testimonials

"It is wonderful to have a reminder to look up so that I can praise a specific child for being on task.  With more children in the classroom, sometimes it is hard to have that constant feedback for a child that needs that reinforcement more regularly." – 3rd Grade Teacher

"We first set up the watch to remind my husband and I to take our daughter to the bathroom and now she wears it to remind herself!  It really worked for us!" – Proud Parent

"My therapist set up meditation and breathing exercises to help me with my anxiety and high blood pressure and the WathMinder reminds me to do them twice a day." – College Student with Anxiety

"My son thinks that it has been very helpful.  I also received a note from one of his teacher telling about the change that she has noticed in his behavior.  She describes him as more mature." – Proud Parent
