Angry, sad, afraid? It’s all ok!
Friendy helps children to put their feelings into words and to cope with them.
Feelings are a natural and important part of our life. They serve as an inner compass, but can be hard to express in a constructive way. Friendy makes it fun and easy to learn how to understand feelings and which behaviour and impulses are ok to act on, and which ones are not.
In this app Friendy will guide you through some of our most common feelings: anger, sadness, grumpiness, fear, happiness and calmness.
You and your child will explore these feelings and help Friendy to calm down and cope with them. You can discuss, draw and act out different situations that evoke strong emotions.
The app is based on the real-life doll Friendy (former EQ-doll) that is used in over 500 preschools in Scandinavia. Positive feedback from parents, pedagogues and children proves that it works. And now it is available for you and your child!
*** About the development team ***
The original Friendy doll was developed by the Mental coach and EQ consultant Maria-Pia Gottberg (www.friendy.se) and designed by Camilla Jüllig. The app is produced in a close collaboration with the game development studio AppsAndKids.com.
We have no advertising and no in-app purchases.
*** Self-esteem and healthy relationships ***
Playing with Friendy becomes a valuable learning for life that will create a solid foundation for the child to build self-esteem and healthy relationships on.
Our aim with Friendy is to provide an easily accessible and fun friend that will help children to express and cope with their feelings.
Most importantly, take the time and make sure to have fun together while exploring the emotions together with Friendy!
With love from the development team,
Ole, Lena, Maria-Pia and Camilla
