Frequently asked questions
Can stories help children understand their feelings?
Yes. Research shows that narratives give children a safe language to talk about difficult emotions. When the child is the hero, it becomes even easier for them to reflect on the story.
Which feelings can you create stories about?
Fear of the dark, anger, jealousy, longing, the first day of school, new siblings, grief over pets – virtually anything. You tell Flipr what you are dealing with, and the story is customized.
Is this recommended by educators or psychologists?
The narrative approach – helping children through storytelling – is well-recognized within child psychology. Flipr does not replace professional help, but gives families a daily tool to open up difficult conversations.
How old should my child be?
From about age 3. The language is automatically adapted to the child's age, so the emotional story hits the right level – concrete for little ones, more nuanced for older children.
