Niko Discovers the 5 Senses Game is a story with a purpose. Parents can enjoy the first read with their child (even for those kids who are reading independently), to learn for themselves the IMPACT the game can have on their child and themselves. Using the book as a perfect jumping-off point for critical conversations about anxiety and all the emotions that tie up one’s thoughts, prevent them from focus, will build trust and understanding for children who battle with BIG EMOTIONS. Childhood anxiety now impacts 1 in every 4 children in the US (Unicef, 10/2021).
Mindfulness can be a struggle for adults. Affording children the time to learn how to engage in ways to reset their thoughts when their tummies feel all bunched up and their mind is cycling around something provides skills for life. They need to learn how to TAKE BACK THEIR CONTROL. The 5 Senses Game allows for that, plus it encourages parents to use the game whenever they see their child struggling, or even when the adults are overwhelmed, and running thin on patience, it is a perfect game to ask their child to play along with them so they can feel better. Children learn from their parents, and when parents find a tool that works, kids are apt to as well.
Every child, not just those currently struggling, can benefit from learning just like Niko does, so they are prepared for times when life becomes difficult. Today’s issues have set children up for chronic anxiety as a response to the unexpected. Providing them with strategies to manage will give them confidence throughout their lives.
