Choosing the Right Watch
- Pick a lightweight watch so it’s comfortable for small wrists.
- Adjustable Velcro or silicone straps work best for kids.
- Choose a clear digital display or an easy-to-read analogue face.
Learning to Tell the Time
- Start with analogue watches that have clear hour and minute numbers.
- Use phrases like “half past” and “quarter to” during daily routines.
- Let kids practise setting the time themselves—it builds confidence.
Durability & Water
- A water-resistant watch is ideal for handwashing and light splashes.
- Teach kids to remove watches before swimming unless it’s swim-proof.
- Avoid leather straps for young kids—they don’t like water.
Care Habits
- Show kids how to take off their watch gently.
- Have a special place at home where the watch is kept when not worn.
- Wipe it clean weekly with a soft cloth.
Fun & Motivation
- Choose fun colours or favourite characters to make wearing it exciting.
- Praise kids for remembering to wear and look after their watch.
- Use the watch for games like “What time is dinner?”
