Understanding emotions through three perspectives.
A collection of interactive emotional scenarios that invites children to reflect rather than providing ready-made answers.
What it is?
Thinking Stories presents everyday emotional situations and encourages children to explore them through exactly three different perspectives.
Rather than telling children what to think, the experiment creates a quiet space for reflection, helping them consider feelings from multiple angles.
The Question
Can presenting exactly three perspectives create a useful space for reflection?
While watching children navigate emotions, I noticed that many difficult feelings lingered long after conversations had ended.
That observation led to a simple question:
Could a tablet become a quiet place where children reflect on their own emotions?
Thinking Stories explores that idea.
