Reviews

Working with students who struggle with interactions with others is difficult. Finding resources for that work is even more so. This is great because there are scenarios that can start conversations about how people should react and why someone might react differently! Thank you so much. - Kelly B.

I love the images and the way the ideas are laid out here. I feel it is a great way to introduce CBT topics to students. I used the characters as posters in my room and refer to them a lot. - Paula H.

Love using this game to help teach children about CBT therapy skills and how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Cute illustrations and easy for kids to understand. - Jennifer O.
