About EQ Ninjas
Emotional skills are hard to teach in the moment. Help your child practice first.
EQ Ninjas gives your child short, guided practice before emotions run high. Parent guides show you what your child is learning and how to help them use it at home.
- Learn while things are calm
- Kids work mostly independently
- Parent guides explain each skill
The idea behind EQ Ninjas
The hard moment is the worst time to teach a new skill.
Most parents know what they want their child to do: notice what they feel, slow down, and choose a helpful response. But explaining all of that while emotions are high is hard.
EQ Ninjas lets your child learn while things are calm. The kid's workbook guides one skill at a time and prompts your child to open the app for stories, teaching, and activities. You can follow along with the parent guide without having to lead every lesson.
With regular practice, your child can get better at noticing what they feel, slowing down, and choosing what to do next.
Why I built EQ Ninjas
“I wanted to teach my kids the skills I had to learn as an adult.”
My doctoral research examined how emotional intelligence develops and how it can be taught. That work was personal for me. I knew what it was like to lose my patience with my kids and wish I had handled the moment differently. I was trying to teach them skills I was still working on myself. I created EQ Ninjas to turn the research into clear, practical lessons children can practice while they are calm and use when emotions run high.
