| DD is going into K and I'm interested in getting her used to an alarm clock. Is the Ok to Wake! clock too young for her? Any other recs? |

| Don't you want to wake her yourself - with a loving smile, a hug and a friendly good morning? She is five not 25. |

| I got my son (who is older) a cool alarm clock that projects the time on the ceiling. It is not a special kid alarm clock but something he can use for years. |

Of course I do, and will continue to do so! She's just been asking for a clock for a while, so was looking for recs for a cool kids one. |

Ah, DCUM - come for the product advice, walk away with judgment about your parenting. I do not understand why posters here constantly assume the worst about people asking questions. My kids asked for and loved getting alarm clocks, and having them certainly never precluded us from popping in the second the alarm went off to snuggle them. |

| Alarm clocks are a great idea. My kids hate getting up but don't mind nearly as much when it's their alarm clocks instead of us doing the waking. DS has a football clock. DD has a generic purple one. I'd go with a simple one that they can use for years. Something easy she can learn to set herself. They love to use them with sleepovers for some reason. |

| How big is your house? Usually when one alarm goes off, everyone can hear it in other rooms. |

We use OK to Wake (the owl) on the weekends. During the week we use ourselves  . But the owl is perfect for letting her know when it's "okay" to get out of bed and stomp around.

My 6yo DS uses this one. He's a Star Wars fan and likes getting woken up by BB8.
