Excellent way to teach young children relaxation strategies

For many students at the recommend grade level, Preschool, it is common to have little to no experience of spending time away from their parents and interacting with other children their age. With these unfamiliar elements being introduced, many students begin to become frustrated, whether when it is told that they have to share or come to realize that their parents can't stay in school with them. This software allows for children to become accustomed with these feelings and learn to deal with them and take responsibility, through helping their favorite Sesame Street characters take deep breaths and choosing the correct path to take. I believe the fact that the app is by Sesame Street is crucial, as it does help students deal and learn with frustration better when they are able to recognize a familiar face, or in this case monster !

My overall opinion is that this is a great application to help educate the students on new techniques to keep the fighting to a minimum, It was almost like having an extra arm because if something started in the classroom while I was working with another student then I would say "Breathe and Relax like Elmo" and they would remember the tool and correct the problem among themselves.

This is good for app for a one day lesson. Other then outside conversation there is not much more to work on after the five lessons. However the 5 lessons are well constructed and do demonstrate ways for students to calm down.
