This app is phenomenal! I am a father of three kids, and they love it. Sometimes it can be tricky helping my son, in particular, to control his anger, but through this app he is able to pause, breathe and then check in on how he is feeling. After every session, I always see a wide grin spread across his face. So sincerely to the developers of this app, thank you from me and the rest of my family
