“A mother is like time, always runs 24 hrs for every moment and second.”

As we know, parents wear multiple hats, not just taking on the task of taking care of the smallest members of the family. They are often going around the clock. To keep going, parents need a good night’s sleep. That way, they can recharge their batteries and take it all on again the next day.

However, life doesn’t always give them that good night of sleep. That’s where technology has been able to step in and help. Some of today’s most innovative connected companies have developed solutions that help parents reach remarkable parenting goals.

1. SNOO- The Smart Bassinet

Exhaustion is a parent’s number one stress-creator. Sleeping with your baby? Up every hour on the hour? This is not how parents want to sleep. Snoo is an innovative connected bassinet device that keeps baby safe and comforted. Using white noise, swaddling, and a gentle rocking, baby will be able to sleep in no time — and so will the parents.


2. ECOBEE- A Powerful Thermostat

We all kid about our refrigerator talking to us. How about the light switch? All these connected devices are great because it means less work for us. Now, the same goes for the thermostat. After all, once a parent hits the pillow, they should not have to get up again even to turn up the temperature in a particular room.

Ecobee is the upstart competitor to Nest and is emerging as the clear leader. Now, it’s possible to use the connected device to heat up just the baby’s room with just one control. With help from Amazon, every parent can go to bed once and stay there until morning.


3. Healthy Snacks by NATUREBOX

Parents make lunch every day for their kids. However, there are those days where parents discover not everything goes as planned and there’s not enough time to make a good lunch for their kids. Or, there may be fewer healthy ideas. Certainly, there has to be something better than Doritos Chips and Chips Ahoy Cookies.

Rather than staying up at night worrying about their kids’ nutrition, parents should try Naturebox. Not only are the snacks featured in these curated food boxes healthy, but they also taste great. The company offers online ordering to connect parents directly to a very convenient way to create delicious, easy to make lunches each day.


4. KWIK.ME — Organize your home hassle free

Among the long list of tasks that parents have to handle each day is getting dinner on the table for the family. And, that includes dinner in the dish for the family pet. Also, there is the laundry and cleaning to do. What often happens is that all these tasks end up leading to memory loss about what’s in the pantry and what was long used up. Not to mention the rest of the family who forgot to tell you they finished up those chips.

That’s where Kwik helps parents rest easy. It makes sure they are never short of laundry detergent, dog food and more. Plus, parents can skip those last-minute trips to the store. All they have to do is press the Kwik button and get a text message that confirms the online order that was just made.


5. GREENLIGHT CARD

When was the last time parents have reached into their wallet to fish out a $5 dollar bill to hand to their tween kid for a stop at the grocery store but they only had a $20? “Bring me my change back!” As the parents says this , they also realize that they’ll never see that change again.

Now upstart Atlanta-based Greenlight solves this problem. Plus, it gives the kids a sense of financial responsibility and freedom. The child gets a card with the MasterCard symbol on it as well as their name on it. It allows the parents to give their kids spending money without wondering how they’ll get the change back. In fact, parents can even specify what stores the kids can spend the money at.


6. RESO.IO

Parents start to lose sleep when they realize school breaks are just around the corner. It becomes a worry for them that now, their organized and relatively peaceful day will be filled with kids wandering around the house letting the parents know they are bored.

That’s where Reso comes to the rescue. This innovative company has curated local day camps, workshops, activities, and groups in local areas to help parents find and book places for their kids to make new friends, get exercise, and learn new things.


7. CIRCLE WITH DISNEY

While electronic devices and apps are great for entertaining kids, the problems parents face is the constant monitoring and nagging about not spending too much time on them, especially when homework and chores come first. What if parents never had to ask their kids to get off Facebook? Imagine if Netflix or YouTube had a time limit no matter what device their kid was on.

Circle Home pairs wirelessly with their home Wi-Fi. From there, parents can easily manage every device on that network. Using the Circle app means greater control over screen time while avoiding the arguments that cause stress.


8. T-MOBILE SYNC-UP DRIVE BY MOJ.IO

Parents worry, but their worry reaches new heights when any one of their “babies” starts to drive a vehicle. However, more vehicles and carriers like T-Mobile are starting to introduce ways to help lower this anxiety.

Solutions like Sync-up Drive powered by Moj.io tell parents where the family car is at all times. Whether there is a check engine light or the car is stuck on the side of the road, parents can be kept in the loop at all times.


Parenting seems less like a full-time job

When parents get rest, they are happier and don’t focus on the many worries that often come to mind with a lack of sleep. With these 10 innovative connected device solutions, parnts everywhere can sleep more soundly, worry less, and feel confident that their children, families, and homes are secure.
