Don't Be Difficult: A game to help children consider the consequences of both positive and negative choices.


For 2-6 players, ages 7-12.


A game for children with oppositional and defiant behaviors. This new game helps children experience the difference between the 'Hard Way' and the 'Right Way' to behave. As children go around the board, they might find themselves on the hard road, a convoluted path that goes nowhere. To get off the hard road and back onto the right road, they have to earn positive emotional currency in the form of kindness, trust, respect, cooperation, and affection. The game includes a Game Board, 1 6 Sided Die, 6 Pawns, 100 Tokens, and Game Cards.

We also carry the Dont Be Difficult Workbook.

Christopher I. ★★★★★

The turn-based format for 2-6 players got my 8-year-old thinking out loud about his choices before he acts, which is exactly what we needed. We've played it three nights in a row, and the conversation after each round feels more like problem-solving than a lecture.

Aurora ★★★★☆

My 9-year-old actually asked to play it again, which is a minor miracle given how much he resists anything structured. The 2-6 player range works well for our family, and the way it makes him think through consequences before acting is genuinely starting to show at home. It just feels a little scrip
