Recommended by Play Therapy Experts

Rooted in techniques used in play therapy to help children feel safe, seen, and supported.

Happy thoughts is an engaging, playful and very well designed card game that gets at the heart of things. After 30 years of clinical practice, I immediately recognized that spending 'special time' with a dynamic, semi-structured game, such as happy thoughts, can strengthen the child’s sense of self and facilitate lasting, positive adjustment. It is indeed a useful tool for parents, teachers and child-focused professionals!

I highly recommend The Me I’m Growing Into cards as a wonderful guide for both parents and counsellors working with children. It provides parents and counselors many prompts to shape positive ideas, actions and feelings states for children 5-9. Our children are the future. Get a set and try them out!
