*This is not an
official app review. Social Express did not contact me to write about the DPS
app, I just like it and wanted to share with you!
I am a big fan of The Social Express! My kids love using their
app and it opens up great opportunities to talk about different pragmatic
situations. In this app the characters use a DPS (digital problem solver) that
helps them identify their feelings and allows them to select a coping strategy.
This March I attended the SHAA conference and learned that
there was a real Digital Problem Solving app you can purchase for .99 cents! I
have been using it with a few of my students and it has been great!
Students choose an emotion.
Then they can scroll through different coping strategies and choose
the one they want to use. The Social Express character then demonstrates how to
use that coping strategy.
Mostly I find it effective because it forces my kids to slow
down and process through their emotions (how they feel, what triggered that
feeling, what to do with the feeling, ect.).
What apps do you like use when teaching your kiddos about
feelings?
