I bought this for my 9 year old son. He wanted a clock for his bedroom that could also play music. He's also very much into robots, so he loves the face that lets him know when its time to wake up or keep sleeping. After a few weeks of use, this has helped everyone stay in bed longer on the weekends! So, a few points about this device for parents: It's described as a baby monitor, but it is so much more than that! Yes, it allows you to listen in on your child's room through your smartphone. But, it also let's you speak with your child through the REMI using the smartphone app like a walkie-talkie. This feature alone had my son running to his bedroom quickly at bedtime so that we can continue being silly as he fell asleep. The REMI has sensors that measure both the room temperature and sound levels. I wish we had this when he was an infant! There were so many nights when we were wondering if he was waking up because it was too warm, too cold, or if some sound startled him. With the REMI, you can simply look at the graphs that are provided to understand if temperature or sound are culprits to your baby waking up at 3AM. And, of course, the main feature of this device is the ability to help train your child with healthy sleep habits. This is such an important issue especially these days when our children are over scheduled and overstimulated with electronic devices! It's awesome that we can use one to undo the damaging effects of the other devices. Through the app, you set your child's bedtime and wake time schedules for both weekdays and weekends. If your child happens to wake up too early, he/she looks at the face on the clock to know if it's time to get up or just go back to sleep. If the face is sleeping, then the child knows to go back to sleep. If the face is awake, then the child knows it's okay to get out of bed. This has helped our son sleep an extra hour or two on weekends. That small difference makes a big difference in his mood throughout the day!
