Game Changer in our house – Brili Routines – Visual Timer Review

Here’s the real real. Mornings can be haaaaard. My kids are 7 & 9, and last school year felt like I was a never-ending record telling them what to do as if they didn’t have to eat breakfast, get dressed, brush teeth, etc. every.single.day. Honestly, I haven’t been looking forward to the morning hustle starting up again. No parent or kid likes starting the morning frustrated. Enter Brili. I’m telling you, this has been a game?? changer ?? in our house. You, as the parent, create a list of everything they need to do, the order they need to do them, and how long you want to give them to complete each task. You set the desired end time, and the app calculates the start time based on the time needed to do each task. (You can also see how long it actually took and adjust as needed.) They access their routine on a device and I can see what step they are on from my parent view on my phone. Morning routines that used to take my kids over an hour to complete (and included countless reminders and too much frustration, only to be grabbing things and running out the door to beat the tardy bell) are now finished in less than 30 min. with plenty of extra "play time" as their reward. It's like a game for them racing against the clock. They earn stars and you as the parent can choose whether they are working to earn something with those stars or not. I have also set up a bedtime routine, and they were in bed reading 15 min before lights out because I wasn't telling them to brush their teeth 67 times. ? Maybe you can't relate and your kids know how to get ready and don't need reminders (ha!). Maybe you don't think it will work. I was skeptical because we had lists for them to check off on the fridge all last year. But this is different. If you find yourself feeling like a bad parent because of the mornings in your house, TRY THIS. It's free (but I'd totally be willing to pay for this). And if it doesn't help you've lost nothing.
