Limiting Children’s Game Time and Video Watching with GameDr Timer

Being parents had never been harder. More so in today’s world of digital technology where kids nowadays spend so much time playing games on Sony Playstations, Nintendo Wii, Microsoft Xbox and watching videos on their latest HDTV. Thanks to GameDr Video Game Timer, parents can now limit their kids’ screen time.

The GameDr Video Game Timer is a user friendly electronic time management device for video game systems and other electronic devices. What parents need to do is simply set the time allowed for video game play, say 30 minutes (Tip: Parents can setup a score chart whereby points will be given to kids for accomplishing certain task, or for behaving good. These points can then be “redeemed” for game time e.g. 1 points = 2 minutes of game time etc).

Once the allotted time is up, the GameDr timer will automatically powers off the game system. Parents need not worry about malfunctioning their Playstation or Wii equipment from the sudden power cut, as ample warnings will be given (10-minute and 1-minute warnings) prior to shutting off, so games can be properly saved too.
