my 5 y.o. son love this clock . we use it for when he know when quiet time be all do . I set the alarm for 2:30 pm -lrb- or whatever -rrb- and when it go off then he know he can come out of he room . this way he be not come out constantly ask if quiet time be do . he like that he can see what time it be even if it be dark in he room .
