Teacher Approved:

“Some students abruptly do things - they storm out and slam doors. Wisdom helped them recognize the triggers and identify that an emotion was happening. It gave them the words to describe it.” Ms. Walker, Mental Health Counselor

"While we use many resources with our students, Wisdom was the one they engaged the most with. Talking about when they are angry when they are not angry was very beneficial. We planned for how they could react next time." Ms. Thapa, Special Education Support Teacher

Looks great, please add lifetime purchase options

This looks like a great program, and there is enough included for free to really get a feel for it, so thank you for allowing that. Two things are holding me back from purchasing to use with my students 1) The narrator’s voice is too kid-like for some of my older students who would otherwise benefit from the messages and 2) this app is subscription-based and I do not agree with purchasing apps that simply give me access to the same content I already had, for additional money each year. I want to pay once, and that do what I please with the content I have purchased. Please create a lifetime purchase option, or even better, offer the ability to unlock and purchase individual activities, for life. That way I can pick and choose which activities are most relevant.

Dear user,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback, we appreciate it! We understand that you might not want to access the new Kingdom of Sadness, Kingdom of Joy, new AR games, new printables or languages we are developing. In addition to new content, we continuously work on technical maintenance to ensure the app continues to work with each iOS update. If we stop updating the app it will stop working in the next months, hence the challenge of offering a lifetime purchase. Some of our printable resources are available for single purchase on TPT https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Better-Kids-Social-Emotional-Learning Please feel free to reach out to us at joy@betterkids.education if you would like to continue the conversation around lifetime purchase options, we're happy to brainstorm ideas together to best meet your needs! Best wishes, The Better Kids team

Great SEL game for kids!

I’ve tried this app with my early elementary students and the kids of friends... They love it! The game is really engaging, and kids learn important SEL skills by completing mini-games throughout. I think it’ll definitely help them learn to manage their emotions and resolve conflicts peacefully. Plus, the calming augmented reality activities are very cool (and I think one is free even if you don’t pay to create an account). Definitely a must while we’re all at home trying to find meaningful activities for kids and students!!

Great game especially now.

My preschool aged son loves this game and asks for it specifically during his (limited!) allowed game time. He is starting to really understand how to use his superpowers to deal with anger.... and roars now when he is upset which is so much better than the alternative. During these difficult times when social interaction have been limited, and emotions high, Wisdom has been a saving grace. The design is beautiful too! Really enjoying the new AR features.
