I absolutely LOVE them! I...show them off on all of my school visits and meetings. They were also a huge hit at a SEL/RULER Parent Engagement night ♥️”

As a pediatrician, I believe this will help children from Pre-K to High School build true life skills like self-awareness, self-management, and social skills. I recommend that pediatricians and all healthcare providers put these in their waiting rooms
