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.

If you know what this app is for, it's great for kids and adults. If the user currently thinks Sesame Street is for babies, as kids will do at times, try a different app. As an adult, I use it to ground myself when I'm overwhelmed. It's simple and gives you something to focus on. I think it's a great tool to develop emotional regulation and intelligence. Teaches: - physical cues of negative emotions - how to pause and assess - how to break down a problem and work on a solution - empathy
