I purchased this for my 5 year old, who after seeing Boo online, was obsessed. Everyday since boo, my 5 year old has carried him around and independently swapped over her little emotions on his belt. I love how Boo is the visual prompt for her to check in on her emotions. This allows her to then communicate with us, which opens up how we can support her, or build upon interoceptive awareness skills of 'how that emotion feels in her body'. She promptly switched her emotion from happy to angry the other morning when she was told she wasn't allowed a lolly for breakfast! She has always endlessly engaged in pretend play with boo. We love Boo and seeing the 'tool' work in real time with helping our littlest develop emotional insight and regulation skills is awesome.
Such a wonderful tool to support the expression of distress along with feelings that can be hard to express or articulate. A powerful resource that I have already used and will continue to promote.
As a paediatric exercise physiologist, I see a lot of children for all different complex medical conditions and Boo has been a wonderful addition to my consultations. It has helped the children I work with be able to express themselves and explain to me how their feeling prior to our session starting without them having to verbally explain. I also use Boo at home with my son, although he is only still quite young, I know this type of exposure to expressing emotions helps him throughout his lifetime so he knows that it is okay to have these feelings, and also that as a parent I am here to support him.
My kids LOVE their buddy boo. Each night before they go to sleep, they talk about their emotions as they place the badges on Boo. Buddy boo makes them so happy and calm.
Love it!
