New Interactive Calming Exercise Coming Soon!


In addition to Emotional Regulation, the ability for a child to calm down physically is crucial in the development of healthy Self-regulation.

We are currently developing an Interactive exercise that will be added to the Challenge Software Program. This activity is also interactive, like the other activities in the Challenge Software Program, and utilizes technology to engage the child in the experience.

This new physical calming exercise called "Cooling the Flame" involves the child first rating their level of Anger or Frustration and then engaging in the Guided Calming Process. The process involves completing a series of deep breaths while receiving feedback from the engaging objects on the screen.

We are very excited about this New exercise! With the addition of this new component, the Challenge Software Program will address both the Emotional and Physical aspects of Self-regulation.

The Challenge Software Program is soundly based on the principles of Cognitive-behavioral psychology and utilizes technology to engage today's children in the process quickly to teach them the skills necessary for Healthy Self-regulation. Self-regulation is related to academic success, social skills, emotional control, and many other common problem areas.
