I don't know where I'd be without my little digital timer. It's amazing how that little electro beep works so much better than me saying, "Okay, that's it--it's been 10 minutes." It was also an important revelation when we realized that duh, cell phones have timers, and can be used as one when out of the house.
We recently got a new Wii game that we ALL find very addicting. DD has had a few freakouts when play time was up (as determined by timer beeping, which she knew in advance would happen). The consequence is that there is no Wii time the next day. She knows this. Of course, she is 9. This is tough for a 2yo to understand, and it's why I phased out computer time for a long time when DD was little--she was just too into it.
