Study on ADD and TV
The recent study published on watching television between the ages of one and
three and the possible link to ADD/ADHD did not take many considerations into
account. The author of the study even admits that he cannot conclude that
television watching and ADD/ADHD are linked.

Product Review
The Invisible Clock
Imagine knowing when you need to do something or be somewhere, without ever having to worry about keeping track of the time!!
This device, smaller than a beeper and with an attachment that can be hooked onto your clothing or inside your pocket can be programmed to remind you of the time. It has a Meeting Timer, a Repeat Timer and an Alarm Feature.
Around our house, we tried the Repeat Timer and found many different uses:
 |
When the children wanted to bake something, we set the Timer and they put the device in their pocket, so that no matter where they were in the house, they would know when to come back to the kitchen to check on their cooking. |
|
For homework time, we would set the timer for intervals of 15 minutes. My son needed only to hold his focus for this amount of time. He had an easier time keeping on task if he knew there was a short time. He would then take a short break and start again for another 15 minutes. |
|
When working on the computer, I was always afraid I would get lost in my work and be late in picking up my son from kindergarten. I would set the timer and then get to work. Not having to check the time every so often allowed me to get more accomplished and I always made it to pick him up on time. |
This is a few, we used it for many more.
We used the Alarm Feature when we wanted to remember several things during the day and would program in the times for vibrating or beeping.
We used the Stop Watch to time my daughter in math facts. She loved to try to beat yesterday’s time and it was a great motivator for her to try harder.
This product works great in our house, and has found many more uses than I listed here. I would highly recommend this product to any household. Those households dealing with ADD/ADHD would benefit even more.
