Testimonials

"My son loved the Giggle Pump activity! He wants to do it every day. These cards were way more fun than I expected."

— Jackie, Parent

"The art drew Stella in; now she calls it 'The Elephant game.' I love that she sees this as a game, and I feel like a better parent with every card we do."

— Tamara, Parent

"I wasn't sure if these cards would be right for my son because he suffers from ADHD, but they not only kept him engaged, but he asked if we could do two in a row!"

— Simpson, Parent

"This is exactly what I was looking for! I am an engineer and not a 'touchy feely' parent, but these activities give me just the right kind of guidance to have feeling-centered conversations with my daughter."

— Vicky, Parent

"I have always known I should teach my child more about emotions, but until now, I had NO idea how even to bring up the subject. Now I feel like I have a guidebook."

— Jessica, Parent

"Liam has BIG feelings, to say the least. I was kind of scared of how big they were. But now, we have a way to talk about them together that doesn't make Liam feel bad. Thank God for Conscious Care Cards!"

— Michael, Parent

"The bunny and the owls drew Poppy in, and now she wants to invite the characters into our activities."

— Ashley, Parent

"There is so much social/emotional stuff out there, but none of it connected to us as a family. But Conscious Care Cards are easy and super fun! It feels like we are sneaking social/emotional learning into a game. We keep them on the kitchen counter and pull one when we have a few minutes."

— Christopher, Parent

"These cards are like having a child therapist and a best friend there to help you with your child. As a step mother I'm so glad to have this tool to help me connect with my step daughter every day or whenever I need a point of connection. I recommend them to anyone and everyone who interacts with children, has children or wants a deeper, more healed connection to the child in their life."

— Alana, Parent

"I'm a grandma who's been around children all my life. We didn't know that there are ways to set up patterns that help create meaningful conversations and, through those conversations, build valuable and lasting relationships with our children. Conscious Care Cards set the pattern. Every single time a first new baby is born in a family, I'm eager to get them a set of Conscious Care Cards."
