Ask Ed vs BiaWaZo

Does your child have worries, anxieties, tantrums? Imagine if an app could teach your child to voice their problems, express their feelings and decide on a plan of action. Ask Ed is designed to help children deal with real life problems from the smallest annoyance to a 'full blown catastrophe'. Ed, the Catastrophe Scale cat guides children through the Ask Ed process; asking questions, providing advice and giving encouragement. Ask Ed uses the Catastrophe Scale to help children put their problems into perspective. Problems may be rated from 0 (no problem) to 10 (worst ever). This helps children understand that some problems may not be as bad as first perceived and can be easily overcome (ratings 0 - 4), while more challenging problems (ratings 5 - 10) need different strategies and help from other people. Ask Ed is a great way for children to express their problems and share their feelings, empowering them to solve their own problems and feel good about themselves. Features of Ask Ed • Deals with ‘real life’ problems - from the smallest annoyance to a full blown catastrophe! • Helps children manage feelings of frustration, sadness and anger. • Provides messages of support and encouragement. • Produces an Ask Ed report detailing the child’s responses. • Report can be emailed and printed for future reference. • Includes a database of real life problems experienced by children. • Allows children to add their own problems and ideas. • Helps children develop real life problem solving skills and build resilience. • Can be used at home, school or out and about. • Works with individual children or groups of children. • Suitable for children from pre-school to secondary school.

As little as 5 minutes daily within our portal would result in fluent Igbo speaking children. There are 3 main levels within our program all of which are readily accessible once enrolled. Each level has Lessons that teach various topics from the basics of the Igbo language to conversational Igbo sentences and beyond. Our vibrant lessons modules range from alphabets, self-introduction, to numbers, to the family, to Christian learning, to daily activities, to colors, to body parts, to frequently used words, to the home, to conversations, to past and future tenses, and MUCH more!
