How to use this page

Read the transcript
  1. Pause and be curious. Type what they might be feeling or needing and press Enter, or pick an “I wonder if…” card. Use the ✕ to clear the search and start again.
  2. Not sure? Answer two quick questions. Is it happening right now? How does their energy feel? We'll match ideas to the moment.
  3. Right now? Keep it short and calm. You'll see quick, calming ideas and short strategies first.
  4. Then follow the path. When things feel more settled, start with step 1. If you need something different, try step 2.
  5. Narrow it down. Show activities with a video, text or download, or themed around LEGO®, Minecraft or Pixar.
  6. Or browse. Choose By pillar or By category, then pick a pillar or category to see its activities.
