Direct Quote

"I recommend the one that communicates time with color because they don't have the executive skills to just process it in their head and prepare to transition."

Market Gap

Toddlers struggle to understand abstract concepts like time, leading to frustration.

Toddlers often find it difficult to grasp the concept of time, which can lead to meltdowns and resistance during transitions. Traditional verbal cues, such as 'two minutes until bed,' are often lost on young children who lack the cognitive development to understand abstract concepts. This confusion can result in power struggles and heightened stress for both the toddler and the parent. Current solutions like verbal reminders or timers that do not cater to young children's developmental capabilities fall short, leaving parents searching for tools that can effectively communicate the concept of time to their little ones. Addressing this need is vital for smoother transitions and less conflict.

Summary

A product idea is to create a visual timer specifically designed for toddlers that uses colors to represent time passing. This tool would help toddlers understand when an activity is ending or transitioning to another, reducing anxiety around changes in routine. The visual timer could be an engaging device that lights up or changes color as time progresses, making it easier for toddlers to comprehend the concept of time visually. Targeting parents and caregivers, this tool would alleviate the stress of transitions and offer a practical solution to a common parenting challenge.

By providing a platform where toddlers can practice these skills in a fun and safe environment, parents can reinforce emotional regulation strategies.

By utilizing feedback from child development experts, the app could offer personalized strategies and resources for parents when their child is facing intense emotions.
