therapy game to develop awareness of thoughts, emotions and behaviors for improving social skills, coping skills and enhancing self control - Updated Version

I have played this with my 9 and 5 yrs old, both enjoyed it as a game and I can definitely see the benefits of making CBT fun rather than a 'therapy'. Instructions were easy enough to follow...but we have only played the first game so far! I would definitely recommend this game, considering how much we normally spend on games/electronics for our kids, this has a number of games in the box and it is important to invest in our kids mental well-being too.

This is so great to have in the house! My kids are 6 and 8 years old and we are generally a family that talks about our feelings, but this opened up lots of topics that wouldn't have come up around the dinner table. The kids love this game and there are many different options of games so you can play all sorts and not get repetitive. It's not just for children who have emotional difficulties or need therapy, it's a great way to get to know your children and what they think.

Brilliant game. I a CBT Therapist in Schools and this magic wonder has really helped a great deal. It’s so versatile. Every child behaviour therapist should have this

Very good game, and really good value for money as it comes with lots of different games all in one and is good quality construction. Its only down sides are the instructions are not that easy to follow, I think for me I needed it more visually explained. Also a fairly large percent of the cards are centred around mobile phone culture and school. So for children who have been spared the agony of having a phone, these are irrelevant, as well as for home educted children who do not deal with gang culture. But the game is still extremly helpfull for allowing children to become more aware of their feelings and how thoughts and feelings have an impact on our lives. As well as teaching positive ways to change the way we think.

Excellent game

It feels complicated with confusing instruction. Clearer instructions would be good. I can see it would be a good game once the rules of playing are established. It’s a bit over priced for what it is really.

I love this CBT game, I am a Psychotherapist and I use this with my young clients and they love it. It’s very effective for working with children and teaching them the link with your thoughts-emotions-behaviors. Would definitely recommend this!!!

Best purchase for therapist to have in their tool belt. So many games included and different ways to play!!

This was recommended by my colleagues for its usefulness and effectiveness. Great price at Amazon so I practically grabbed it! Well-made and securely packaged. I’m sure I’ll make very good use of it.

I was contemplating to buy the game because of price but once I started using game i realized how useful it is when working one on one or in groups. Great quality and there are so many different ways to use the game depending on the child I am working with. The kids enjoy this game and it makes learning about feelings and social skills fun! The therapists in my office are often asking where it is as they have enjoyed using it also. I’m a therapy assistant and use it in many different groups, it’s always a successful tool.

I am very impressed with this game so far. It has many different packs of cards and 10 or so ways you could actually use the contents in a therapeutic way (listed in the instruction manual...I'm sure there are many more ways if you are creative). I've played the actual board game with 2 families of preteens so far and it went over well. I can see using this game and its contents in various different ways. The quality is top notch. Shipping was fast. Highly recommend.

I am a school psychologist, and I used this to implement as an activity with my elementary aged students. I really like that the game has many different activities within the game and ways to play with a student individually or within a group. I like that the events are age appropriate and my students always get excited to play the games. The games address identifying and processing emotions in a hands on way. I also like that the board and it's pieces are colorful and also include diverse illustrations that represent different races and cultures. I read previous reviews, it seems that in the past the illustrations were more eurocentric, but I am happy that many of my students can identify with the current character illustrations used in the games. I plan to use this game for many years to come.

Als Therapeut für Kinder und Heranwachsende habe ich dieses erstaunliche Spiel gerade erst kennengelernt, da es wohl auch jetzt erst auf Deutsch übersetzt wurde. Aber ich verwende es jetzt schon fast täglich in meiner Praxis und auch bei meinen eigenen Kindern. Das Spiel ist durch die Vielzahl von Varianten sehr flexibel allen Altersgruppen einsetzbar. Es bietet eine lustige und effektive Möglichkeit, KVT-Konzepte und -Strategien mit den Kindern einzuführen und zu üben. Es hat schon tolle Gespräche über Emotionen und Identität ausgelöst. Es ist darüber hinaus auch sehr hochwertig produziert. Ich kann es wirklich nur wärmstens empfehlen!
