Now more than ever, parents and educators are looking for resources to support their children's emotional well being. Teaching children important social emotional skills such as self-awareness, social awareness, relationship skills, self-management, and responsible decision-making equips them with healthy and positive tools to navigate a world where uncertainty, grief, and violence are pervasive.
Like Maria Montessori, we believe that "Play is the work of the child." Our social emotional learning app Wisdom: The World of Emotions is entirely game-based.
Kids go on an adventure through the Kingdom of Anger and the Kingdom of Fear, guided by Wisdom, the main character. They play games focused on facial expressions, body language, tone of voice, conflict resolutions, and more. As they succeed, they win superpowers which are calming strategies kids can use in their daily lives.
With Augmented Reality, kids can practice these coping strategies, such as taking deep breaths, by visualizing their inhale and their exhale.
Wisdom is evidence-based: a Randomized Control Trial showed that Wisdom positively impacts children's emotion processing, fostering successful learning.
Parents can access a collection of tips and hands-on activities to help their children continue to practice through play.
Educators can access 300 ready-to-use teaching resources to build community and empathy.
Our freemium app Wisdom: The World of Emotions is available on the App Store and Google Play Store. It has been spreading through word of mouth. It's available in English and French and we are currently working on new localizations (e.g. Spanish) to support even more children.
Wisdom has impacted 250,000 children across 1,500 schools. We've received incredible feedback from families:
"My son has learned breathing techniques for when he starts to feel mad. We downloaded the app months ago and he still uses his breathing to calm down."
"He's thinking more about his feelings and how to respond to them in a more effective and healthy way."
Our goal for the next couple of years is to continue to enrich the app with new content and continue to scale, both through schools and families.
