This post is part of a sponsored campaign for Povi. I received compensation for my participation, but my opinions are my own.
Now that my kids are teenagers,?I just can’t get over how far things have come since they were little kids. Technology really has come a long way since the?beginning of this century?and there are so many products?out there that are able help to guide a child’s learning process. In fact, Povi, a brand new kind of emotional learning tool launched on Kickstarter today.
Povi was founded by Seow Lim when her child’s school counselor mentioned how smart, though unhappy her child was. She’d spent so much time on her child’s development, yet after hearing this news, wanted to connect with her child’s emotions. Povi is a social-emotional skills building tool that is designed to be used together by both a child (ages 3-8) and their parent(s). This hug-gable storytelling buddy delivers content sourced by experts through it’s content program and app, to assist parents in raising happy, caring and confident children.
Children will enjoy short stories delivered by Povi and are later engaged in a discussion on emotions and feelings with their parent. For example, when the focus is empathy, a parent may ask a question such as “How can you tell when someone is sad?”. Parents and children will then discuss these emotions in ways that the child can understand and learn from.
Emotional health is really crucial to being a part of society and I strongly believe in the importance of teaching our children about emotions, how to deal with them and how to express them. As parents, we need to realize that we’re raising the future generations of this world and we need them to have strong skills, emotions and values to keep this world going for generations to come.
Kids and parents will enjoy 10 pre-downloaded stories that come with Povi and 20 additional age appropriate stories that are available through the app for iOS or Android. As part of the Kickstarter special, Povi is available for $49 (40% off the future shelf price) to the first 2,000 customers. You can connect with Povi on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Which child in your life would you gift Povi to?
