During periods of confinement or disruption, like those we've all faced globally, parents often struggle to keep children engaged without outings, playdates, or sports. This can lead to frustration, sadness, and behavioral challenges. Adults grapple with stress and anxiety from the crisis, while children, regardless of age, feel the emotional weight but struggle to articulate it—even to parents. As experienced parenting experts know, explaining complex situations like illness, loss, or family changes in age-appropriate terms is crucial for reassurance and protection. The unknown often sparks fears, nightmares, sleep issues, and acting out in young ones.
A powerful collaboration between the Jasmin Roy Foundation, dedicated to combating bullying, violence, and discrimination in schools, and the Desjardins Foundation, with over 40 years focused on educational success, has produced Emojeu (Emogame). This innovative board game is ideal for families navigating disrupted routines, suitable for children aged 3-7 and playable with parents. Featuring a board, 16 emotion cards, and 16 wish cards, it helps kids name feelings like nervousness or excitement. Designed with child psychology principles in mind, it playfully unlocks inner emotions that are hard to verbalize at a young age, easing emotional burdens effectively.
Emojeu fosters calm and confidence in children. Parents play a vital role in guiding kids through unfamiliar, anxiety-provoking situations by modeling positive responses.
This game promotes daily positive behaviors, building self-assurance and preparing children for adulthood.
Emojeu is an accessible card game for playing with children.
It includes 16 "I feel" cards covering 7 universal emotions and 9 complex secondary ones, plus 16 "I would like" cards with proven techniques to manage both negative and positive emotions. Kids place cards on the board to express feelings and desired actions.
"Emojeu" is available for 12.99 euros in French and English.
