Plus Up's Goodtimer is the company's first patented product and it takes the form of a neuroscience-backed educational toy. The toy for kids ages three to 10 is designed to support the formation of healthy habits with positivity, tangible incentives and family participation.
The toy is designed to support positive parenting and motivate kids to make good choices, rather than feeling punished by scoldings and timeouts. Once a family has set their house rules, the Goodtimer is designed to help kids earn Good Time, which can be redeemed as physical tokens that can be exchanged for rewards set by the family.
To introduce Goodtimer, parents can read The Clockmaker's Creation to kids, which offers an explanation of how the device will be used in the home.
