Artful SEL User Reviews

Top reviews

Amazing calming app for kids!

We absolutely loved using this app for our 9 and 12 year old. There were lots of options to help calm and regulate kids emotions and each activity held their attention. The kids particularly liked the music section and the customization of the characters as they earned rewards. Highly recommend!

Play and breathe

The art and breathing activities actual work. My eight year old uses it when upset and it gives me time to make sure I’m calm before reacting.

Pause breathe and reset

We’re loving Artful SEL! It’s a wonderful way for kids to pause, breathe, and reset. We’re excited to continue exploring the app and discover even more ways Artful SEL can support our kids well-being and growth.

A Game-Changer for Tiny Humans and Their Big Emotions

As a parent, we often feel like we are firefighting-reacting to meltdowns rather than preventing them. Artful SEL has completely shifted that dynamic in our household. Instead of just “distracting” my child during a tough moment, this app actually empowers them to focus on creative brain-based activities. The prompts are fun and imaginative, making “emotional work” feel like play rather than a lesson. It’s intuitive enough that my child can navigate to a favorite activity and use the app when feeling a certain way, which is the ultimate goal of self-regulation. I would highly recommend this app for any parent looking to trade tantrums for tools!
