Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Steven G. ★★★★★

I used this with a 10-year-old who barely talks in session, and the Mean Brain and Flex Brain cards got him explaining his own reactions without me prompting much. The 64 question cards mean I'm not recycling the same three prompts every week.

Henry ★★★★★

My 9-year-old actually asks to play with these, which never happens with therapy tools. The 64 question cards keep sessions moving, and having eight separate brains (Flex Brain is her favorite) makes it easy for her to point to what she's feeling instead of shutting down.

Ava ★★★★★

The Mean Brain and Worry Brain cards finally got my son talking about stuff he'd normally shrug off. We pull four question cards at dinner and it turns into an actual conversation instead of me lecturing. The set comes with all 8 brains and 64 cards, which is way more than I expected for the price.
