Professional Review
Not Yet AvailablePositive Penguins aims to teach mindfulness and relaxation skills to children and to help them challenge negative thinking. In addition to guided meditations, Positive Penguins offers interactive psychoeducation about thoughts and feelings and a game mode. The game mode aims to distract users from current stressors. Additional features include check-ins (once or twice a day), emailing yourself a summary of your progress, the ability to dictate responses in the interactive sections, and having the text read aloud for those who have trouble reading.
