Snap Stories about Feelings are therapeutic stories and activities intended to help kids learn about and manage their feelings. Anger, sadness, and worry are among the feelings addressed in the stories. In "Zippy Slows Down," Zippy the squirrel learns how and when to slow down. Kids can listen to the story, see it illustrated, and then practice what they have learned by completing the activity book. No reading is required, although kids may enjoy reading along with the story. No clinical training is necessary to use the app. Kids can use the app themselves or with a clinician, parent, or other caregiver. Counselors or therapists who work with children will find the app a welcome addition to their practices. Teachers will find the app useful as well.
Zippy Slows Down is the seventh in a series of apps by Snappy Kids, a company founded by a child psychotherapist and a design engineer.
