Designed to cultivate metacognition, self-regulation, and cause-and-effect reasoning in children aged 5 to 10.
Cheetah Brain (System 1): Fast, automatic, and emotional. Great for jumping out of the way of a swinging ball, but can cause yelling or grabbing when frustrated.
Owl Brain (System 2): Slow, deliberate, and detective-like. Stops to weigh consequences before making a smart move.
Red Light: Big anger/frustration volcano. Stop! Don't act.
Yellow Light: Slow down. 3 deep dinosaur breaths to cool the prefrontal cortex.
Green Light: Ready to solve with words.
Helps kids evaluate activities based on their internal battery. High energy needs outdoor physical play; low battery needs calm creative rest.
