I would highly recommend this game to any one working therapeutically with children and young people either to use as a whole intervention plan or as an easy to turn to ad hoc tool. It's a safe way to discuss important aspects of health and wellbeing.

I really hoped that the study would help to improve his ‘emotional intelligence’ and understanding of others. My husband and I were not prepared for the dramatic transformation we saw in our son.

There are many children who find it difficult to open up about experiences or understand why they might feel a particular way. Using the Book of Beasties game and online resources, allows children to address these emotions and thoughts through group discussions without putting the focus and pressure on them.
