[QUOTE="hexemaus2, post: 194397, member: 4560"] I thought about a cell phone too (that's what I use for me) but difficult child 2 would set it down somewhere & forget it. I liked the idea of the watch because we can strap it to his wrist - right in plain sight, but nothing he could drop, misplace, or leave in his backpack to get knocked all over creation. :) Trinity - we tried the bandaid thing a couple of years ago. He would unconsciously scratch the bandaid off. (He has a habit of "picking" at anything that feels out of place or unnatural to him.) Susiestar - I'm hoping since it has both beep AND vibrate modes, we'll be able to use the vibrate mode during class times & possibly the beep modes at home. I know the vibrate will get his attention, since he's so sensitive to unnatural things like that. Hopefully, it won't bother him other than just enough to get his attention. That's the one thing I want to test out - if he can stand the vibration without issues. (For example, if it startles him in the middle of class, he's liable to shout out & then launch into a 5 minute long monolog about how he's sorry he interrupted & why he interrupted. lol. Definitely would defeat the purpose of having a less intrusive vibrate mode, wouldn't it? lol. I think us parents of difficult children must have awesome forethought capabilities...we have to think of everything our difficult children could possibly do in a particular situation so we can prepare for everything. lol.)
