So first, what I want you to do, step one is just mark out where you want reminders to be in the, like the order of things. Most reminders tend to be where the transition points are. So we're, you know, finishing getting dressed, it's time to leave a room and go to the kitchen for breakfast, or it's time to finish eating breakfast and go brush your teeth. It's those transition points where they where we want the reminders like, oh, yeah, this is what we're doing. This is where we need to be going. And moving us forward, you will need to think about your own kid. And you like what do you individually need? Some people do really well with Warnings Be like, Hey, you have three minutes left, other people get irritated that they have three minutes slack. And I guess that's more in the wording. Patricia Sung 00:51 So let me pause on that before I get ahead of myself. Some people really like that little runway of knowing like things are about to change, that makes the transition easier. Some people will like that extra reminder in between, like, if there's too big of a gap, they forget or we I forget what I'm doing. And then I need a reminder in between, to like, keep going like oh, right, we're still eating breakfast, let's go here, people. And usually, I mean, and thinking about like, where in the timing, you want those and that's truly personality based, you're definitely going to have those transition points of switching activities. But whether or not your family or whoever it is that is doing that activity needs a little like heads up that the change is coming. Or if they're going to need that extra reminder of like, Hey, are we still on task here will depend on the individuals. Patricia Sung 01:40 Once you know where you want them and know whenever we can add more later, we can change them later like this isn't set in stone, is to think about the wording on it. Somewhere, sometimes just having like a noise, like some kind of like silly sound will remind people like Alright, I'm back on track. Other people need the words to say like, Hey, it's we're wrapping up breakfast, it's time to go brush teeth, and they need Alexa to actually say to them, this is what we are doing. When you're doing that, though, we also need to think about personalities and the wording of things. Patricia Sung 02:12

And other times he's totally fine with it. So know that this isn't a total trial run, right? You know, we're putting on our scientists coat and we're doing an experiment and we're going to make changes as we go. So thinking about your personality and your kids personality, what kind of wording is going to motivate them forward and what kind of wording is going to frustrate them and then get them more off task and that goes for us too. So you are writing down in the order of where you want reminders and the words that you're going to use whether you're going to use just a noise, or if you want Alexa to actually say something, writing those down so that throughout the order. You have all those reminders set out of what's actually going into Alexa
