A lot or a little?
Parents need to know that Calm Counter Social Story & Anger Management Tool aims to help kids learn ways to deal with strong emotions. There are two parts to the app: one that encourages kids to calm down using visual cues, counting backward from 10, and following a deep breathing prompt. The other part is a story that reassures kids that we all get mad from time to time and then suggests ways to calm down. Parents can choose from using a female voice, male voice, or no voice. The app was designed for kids with autism and other challenges that may make it difficult to calm down, but as it focuses on general emotion regulation, could be relevant for any kid.
