What looks like a game at first glance is actually an innovative communication tool for children. TALK BLOCKS is a wonderfully simple way to share not only feelings, but also needs. Shy preschoolers and self-conscious teenagers find it easy to communicate with TALK BLOCKS.
The set includes two Red "I feel" blocks with12 different emotions (sad, embarrassed, angry, etc) illustrated both with words and images and two Green "I need" blocks with 12 different needs (a hug, to cry, to be alone, etc.).
A child chooses an emotion from the red blocks, then a need from the green ones. By letting youngsters express both how they feel and what they need TALK BLOCKS gives them a positive way to respond to their emotions. With TALK BLOCKS children learn that they can both recognize emotions and more importantly that they can choose what is needed to address their feelings.
These four colorful large wooden blocks come in a sturdy tray, with a graphic gauge that's used to indicate intensity of feelings and needs. A training guide and instructional VCD is also included.
Used in homes, classrooms, support groups, and therapy, this unique product really does give children something to talk about (Ages 3 to 14).
