11/11/21 - BETTER KIDS LAUNCHES A MAJOR UPDATE OF ITS SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING APP WISDOM: THE WORLD OF EMOTIONS WITH A NEW GAME WISDOM - KINGDOM OF FEAR
Better Kids announces a major update of its social emotional learning app Wisdom: The World of Emotions with a new game Wisdom - Kingdom of Fear that helps kids learn coping strategies to manage their fears and anxieties
SAN FRANCISCO — Better Kids today launches a new game Wisdom - Kingdom of Fear, accessible in the social emotional learning app Wisdom: The World of Emotions, to help children ages 4-8 overcome their fears and anxieties as they continue to adjust to disrupted routines. Through fun storytelling games, kids will place themselves in the shoes of the different characters to better understand how we respond to these emotions and what we can do to feel calm and confident.
“The persisting uncertainties and disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have exacerbated anxiety, especially for young children who typically thrive on routines”, said Ondine Bullot, the chief executive officer and founder of Better Kids. “Now more than ever, children need support with their emotional growth. The fun storytelling games in Wisdom - Kingdom of Fear are designed to help children identify the signs of their anxiety and practice healthy coping strategies when they are faced with new, difficult, or unpleasant situations. Kids help the anxious citizens with superpowers, which are calming strategies such as replacing their unhelpful thoughts with encouraging ones, taking perspective, and practicing mindful breathing techniques with Augmented Reality.”
Wisdom - Kingdom of Fear is now available exclusively on iOS to families worldwide in the social emotional learning app Wisdom: The World of Emotions. A Live Event for the launch is scheduled today at 4:30pm ET in the form of a Kids’ Workshop that will guide children through live storytelling of new Wisdom games and introduce coping skills for fear and anxiety.

15 adaptive interactive digital games, focusing on themes such as facial expressions, voice intonations, body language, physiological reactions, conflict resolution, and emotional vocabulary
