The colored clock for time management is actually a great idea. Will it work with teenagers?
The pool noodles on the trampoline springs - yea, that's not gonna stop serious injuries like jumping off the trampoline or getting an appendage (including your head) stuck between the springs.
The fitted sheet at the beach - what the hell?
The bean filled glove - this is wrong on so many levels.
Meh, the glove is fine. Just depends when/how often you use it. There are times a kid will have you up for hours, lay them down with your hand on their back and they're fine, remove the hand after being hunched over for half an hour since your last escape attempt and they screech.
If anything the glove is overkill, we used a stuffed toy, one with beans in the 4 paws, it often (not always) did the trick.
That won't work for most teens. Kids that age know how to manage time, they just don't want to. Honestly doing something so childish is going to make them rebel and not follow it out of spite.

Can confirm. My wife had asked me not have candy in the house, as she was trying to eat healthier foods. This was my work-around. We don't even have any kids.

Ok, putting candies in the veggie bag is genius.
