Tardy No More
- Total Time Needed:
- 1 Hour
When her son, Joel, was in first grade, Priscilla Johnson of Tigard, Oregon, quickly discovered that gentle reminders like "five more minutes" mean nothing to a child who doesn't really understand the concept of time. So, she hung up this photocopy of her kitchen clock with the hands set to the time Joel had to leave for the bus next to the real clock to help him. Joel "is constantly comparing his 'clock' to our real clock, even telling me how much time we have left," Priscilla told us. The result? "We make it out the door in record time," she says.
