Ratings and reviews

I am an adult with autism and I wanted to try this out because I have children and I wanted to see how well the app would work. It has very creative ways of teaching children to come up with coping skills and solutions. I sometimes have the mindset of a child and honestly this app is a wonderful way for anyone to learn proper coping skills. Awesome app for sure. ❤️

I have a 5 yr old Aspergers/ADHD son who is prone to tantrums and hitting I am giving this 4 stars because he seems to enjoy this app over similar (more highly rated) apps. Unfortunately, it has very few examples, and often suggests solutions either not typically available or encourages a child to have someone else do the task. However, it does provide a good simple "model" he has memorized, so we can play-act being the monster and pop imaginary bubbles when he needs to deal w/real situations.

Not enough in the app to keep it. My son had gone through the whole app in 45 min. and was done. Yes he could go over the app a couple more times but then it is pretty much pointless. I wish there was more scenarios because I do love the app the concept is great just wish they would have went a little farther with it.
