Amazing! Teaches kids how to deal with frustration. My daughter loves it and giggles about the situation and practices deep breathing and LOVES popping the bubbles.

I've downloaded and reinstalled multiple times but we can't get past the first activity. No instructions given and tapping everywhere does nothing.

This was a good app that my daughter enjoyed, but unfortunately it stopped working at all. It just crashes when I open it, even after uninstalling and reinstalling.

I wish I could actually rate the app itself, but no matter what I've tried, the app will not open. It starts up, but after showing the "Sesame Street" screen, the app crashes.

Very helpful app for teaching mindfulness and deep breathing too the young, would be 5+ but it has recently stopped working, auto closing as soon as opened.

It's a good app to navigate through big feelings but it only has 5 scenario. It would have been best if there are different challenges daily or weekly. Children tend to get bored with the same content on daily basis.

Loved it when it worked well, but it changed from English to Spanish and eventhough the language is set to English it is still in spanish.

This app is amazing and developmentally spot on! Such a great skill to help children learn. I would use with children. Who are 2 and older.

Glitches in the game! I got this game for my 3 year old and it has to bring me my phone multiple times because he cant continue the game. He's supposed to help the monster breathe but gets kicked back to the activity page. Please help!

Will not open. I've downloaded it multiple times and it's always crashed after about 30 secs, now it won't open at all.

Thought this would be great for my 3yr old...but unfortunately it gets to the first interactive part of the game and nothing happens - I looked on YouTube and you're meant to help the monster breathe, but nothing happens on my install, essentially crashes.

Really good modeling for kids - the process is slow as a reminder to slow down and take your time to breathe and really think. I wish they had more scenarios, and hope future updates offer them.

Seemed like a good idea but then the app started freezing at the tummy tap breathing section. It was unfortunate timing because I was trying to use it to calm my daughter down and the monster was stuck angry! Would be interested to try again when this is fixed.

What a bummer. My daughter loved this app and it helped her learn to regulate her emotions. I downloaded it for her sister and it doesn't work anymore. Won't start up.

One of the best apps ever. It helps me relax when I freak out and I don't know what to do, It helps me regulate my breathing and think properly! Recommended not just for kids, but for everyone!

Great game but whenever I attempt to help the monster calm down by tapping on his belly he won't respond to my touch for some reason. I'm autistic but I'm not a very patient person and I'm actually getting a bit frustrated myself. Think u guys could fix the bug please?

Not enough in the app to keep it. My son had gone through the whole app in 45 min. and was done. Yes he could go over the app a couple more times but then it is pretty much pointless. I wish there was more scenarios because I do love the app the concept is great just wish they would have went a little farther with it.

I have a 5 yr old Aspergers/ADHD son who is prone to tantrums and hitting I am giving this 4 stars because he seems to enjoy this app over similar (more highly rated) apps. Unfortunately, it has very few examples, and often suggests solutions either not typically available or encourages a child to have someone else do the task. However, it does provide a good simple "model" he has memorized, so we can play-act being the monster and pop imaginary bubbles when he needs to deal w/real situations.

I am an adult with autism and I wanted to try this out because I have children and I wanted to see how well the app would work. It has very creative ways of teaching children to come up with coping skills and solutions. I sometimes have the mindset of a child and honestly this app is a wonderful way for anyone to learn proper coping skills. Awesome app for sure. ❤️

If you know what this app is for, it's great for kids and adults. If the user currently thinks Sesame Street is for babies, as kids will do at times, try a different app. As an adult, I use it to ground myself when I'm overwhelmed. It's simple and gives you something to focus on. I think it's a great tool to develop emotional regulation and intelligence. Teaches: - physical cues of negative emotions - how to pause and assess - how to break down a problem and work on a solution - empathy
