As an Audhd mum with an Audhd daughter as well as being a Senco for over 15 years, I highly recommend investing in Stix for your child or school. My daughter is 7 and Audhd. She really struggles with handling big emotions, especially anger which often becomes physical as well as sadness and excitement. She's accessed play therapy previously but it is expensive to keep up. So we thought we would try the Stix for a month and see if they would help. I wasn't too hopeful as she's found most well being exercises we've tried to access boring after a few sessions but I was also desperate to try anything to help. I'm so pleased we made the decision to buy them as the impact is evident after a few weeks. My daughter has really enjoyed the app and earning stars to customise her monster, she's also enjoyed the activities. She's already used the "rainbow painting" when we were out swimming and she was upset as well as the "surfing" when she had a friendship issue on a play date. She's also really enjoyed being able to do the Stix with me or her dad and we have a Stix each. We've also taken them away on holiday this week with us and she's been able to help use them when she needs a quiet moment. I've contacted the Stix team to ask a question, they responded promptly and were very helpful. I really recommend these to help give your child the tools they need when navigating their feelings in the world!

Physically nice product, good activities, calming voice.
Limited activities (not yet had the upgrade?). We are screen free and without the app the Stix give you the activity automatically and once you start one you have to complete for another. Would benefit from ability to move on or choose activities from the Stix (without the need for the app). My son will not use without adult support (age 6).

My 5 year old finds the Stix a nice way of calming down at bedtime and enjoys spending his stars on new items for his character. It is great to have more activities to try, keeps him engaged. We are enjoying the Calming Down and Sleep activities at the moment.

He often gives me one Stix so we can do the activities together, which is a nice way of bonding.

My son looks forward to using them and it’s become part of his bedtime routine to help him wind down.

I am a Child Clinical Psychologist and we use it in clinic!
