I don't know about you, but it seems like every summer just when I think I'm in control of my schedule, September rolls around and ruins everything. Now I'm scrambling to get out of the house on time. It seems like no matter what I do, I'll be running late for the next few months until I can get everything under control again. (re: after the holidays. cringe.)

If you're kids are having the same problem with punctuality, you might want to try a little bribery. Nexttime's cute clocks make great wall art and a great motivator for kids. With a bright clock on the wall they at least can't say they lost track of time.

Nexttime's Fun Collection features a wide range of designs that will appeal to younger kids and tweens. Their glass wall clocks feature cartoon animals and cute little phrases ("Time Out," a cat tells the mice that are playing on his tail) that will make little kids laugh. They also have larger numbers that are easier for younger kids to read.

The foam clocks, on the other hand, have a funky look that is sure to appeal to tweens. They're definitely more appropriate for older kids, who have no trouble telling time. These designs are sure to make tweens feel more grown up. And they'll look great in your tween's room.

My favorite has got to be the Giraffe Foam Wall Clock. The pink isn't too childish and the giraffe is just girlie enough. Tween girls are sure to love this clock now and through the coming years. Personally, I would have put this clock up in my dorm room--maybe it would have helped me make it to a few more 8 AM classes.
