The WatchMinder can also be used as a medication reminder.

What Is The WatchMinder?  

The WatchMinder is a simple wristwatch that can easily be programmed to set up discreet vibrating reminders throughout one’s day.  Invented by a child psychologist, the WatchMinder was designed to aid children and adults with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD) and others with special needs in staying focused, managing their time, and modifying their thoughts and behaviors.  

How is the WatchMinder helping those with ADHD, LD, and Autism spectrum disorders?

• The WatchMinder is improving the relationships between parents and their children: because the WatchMinder prompts the child for specific behaviors and actions, the parent no longer needs to "nag" to accomplish these tasks.

• Children are using the WatchMinder to self-monitor and reinforce positive behaviors (like "Pay Attention" "Be Positive" and "Focus") throughout their school day.

• High school and college students with ADHD and LD are using the WatchMinder to organize their hectic schedules and manage their time during exams.

• Students are using the WatchMinder to cue themselves to participate in class discussions and to remind themselves to copy down and submit their homework assignments.

• Children with ADHD and their parents and teachers are using the WatchMinder to manage their medication regiments throughout the school day.

The WatchMinder is an ideal assistive tool for behavior modification and self-monitoring.

  

How is the WatchMinder helping those with behavior modification and self-monitoring?

• Persons of all ages are using the WatchMinder for self-monitoring and behavior modification.

• Parents of young children are using the WatchMinder for toilet training.   For younger children, the “bathroom” message can be set to alert the parent to take the child to the bathroom.  For older children, the same “bathroom” message can be set to remind the child himself to use the bathroom.

• Individuals with anxiety are using the WatchMinder to remind themselves to relax and perform breathing exercises throughout the day.

• Busy parents are using the WatchMinder to discreetly remind themselves to give their children positive feedback throughout the day.

How is the WatchMinder being used for everyday life and wellness?

• Individuals are using the WatchMinder to aid in relaxation, stress management, and mindfulness.   The unique training mode is being set to remind these users to “relax”, “breathe”, or “meditate” throughout the day or during a specific time interval.

• Swimmers and runners are using the WatchMinder to monitor their breathing during training and workouts.  The WatchMinder’s vibration is ideal for those that are underwater or wearing headphones who could not otherwise recognize an audible reminder.

• Yoga enthusiasts are using the WatchMinder to monitor their breathing and reinforce positive thinking throughout their workouts and throughout their days.

• Religious persons are using the WatchMinder to remind themselves to “pray” at specific times or throughout their days.

How is the WatchMinder helping those with bedwetting or incontinence concerns?

• Parents with young children are setting the “bathroom” message to alert themselves to take their child to the bathroom.

• Parents with older children are setting the “bathroom” message to alert the child himself to use the bathroom.

• Elderly individuals and their caretakers are setting the “bathroom” message to alert themselves to visit the restroom throughout the day.

How is the WatchMinder being used by the deaf and hard-of-hearing?

• The deaf and hard-of-hearing are using the WatchMinder to remind themselves of specific tasks or activities throughout their day.

• The deaf and hard-of-hearing are using the WatchMinder to assist with time management: the watch’s unique vibrating reminder allows the user to “feel” what time it is!

• The deaf and hard-of-hearing are using the WatchMinder to achieve independence for everyday living.
• Seniors are using the WatchMinder to manage their complicated medication regiments.  The easy-to-feel vibration system and easy-to-read screen is particularly helpful for those with hearing and vision loss.

This is the Best Aid

I wanted to tell you how amazing your product is. I have been singing its praises to my colleagues and friends. I am a psychiatrist as well as a parent of two kids with ADHD. This is the best aid for executive function to help kids who are hyper-focusing, and therefore not tending to needed tasks. Because it's their very own watch, and they can program it, it has eliminated my nagging timers or reminders for "it's time for ____." I just ordered one for myself, and my son who doesn't have ADHD, but sets multiple reminders on his iPhone, and he'd prefer not to have to carry it everywhere. My husband suggested I purchase an apple watch for myself, but I absolutely love that I can program the watch and not worry about being attached to my phone. I believe this ability to have a reminder that is not connected to a smart phone is especially important for children. I observe more and younger children being glued to their phones, and I'm also noticing young adults are having a more difficult time tolerating distress and boredom. Additionally, social media is ramping up bullying to a new level, which is an added risk with giving a child a cell phone. I am so happy I can recommend a product to parents which doesn't require them to also give their child a smart phone, and all the negative qualities that come along with ownership of a smart phone.

Our Godsend

I just read below that you are the creator of our godsend. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. my daughter was adopted at the age of 2 after suffering a significant tbi during infancy at the hands of her biological parents. She has pretty significant sensory issues...mostly around toileting as she does not feel the urge and she also has significant short term memory issues. Your original watch was purchased 3 'yrs ago and has given her independence...something any 12 yo desires. She no longer has to be called to the office every two hours to go to the bathroom to prevent accidents and is reminded when it is time to do other things as well. She went back to school last fall and was so excited to see 3 of her classmates also wearing "her watch." A little forgetful club with super cool jewelry they call themselves.
