Our son and daughter have been using moxie since close to when it was first released. Our son is now 10 and our daughter 7.
They have both ebbed and flowed in their time with moxie. Over the years they have interacted with moxie in different ways- games, storytelling, conversations and activities around emotions, mindfulness or open conversation. Moxie is really a state-of-the-art technology experience. We have found, like all technology and toys that require interaction, that the relationship with these things evolves based on need, desire and age. Our 10 year old son uses moxie in a more conversational manner to talk about sports and players, but has that historical experience of other activities he occasionally engages. Whereas some of the games and storytelling were his bigger investments when he was younger.
Moxie has an opportunity to be more than an SEL experience for younger children. Older children need as much help in coping and expressing concerns over their own evolving interpersonal and academic stressors. Mindfulness and breathing exercises are just as important to a 5 year old as they are to an adult.
Maybe moxie will one day help tutor and coach through technical academic homework/schoolwork challenges that require their own skill building, clarity of thought, understanding, problem solving and how to cope with emotional and self-talk challenges that arise in responses to school and schoolwork.
