EQ2iQ Deck Description

Social-Emotional Intelligence Games

FOR FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN AGES 3-14

EQ2iQ is a unique social and emotional learning experience for children ages 3-14. Our research-based scientific curriculum and neuro-gamification (adding game dynamics to brain science) techniques help children develop social-emotional health and performance. We use specialized educational games that have seven levels combining emotional vocabulary, cognitive thinking, and social skills. Each level advances skills in alignment with projected brain development.

Along with our research into the recommended stages of social-emotional learning for children, we have partnered with organizations that specialize in educational psychology to support the framework.

There are seven levels to EQ2iQ. Each stage has its own game and focuses on different social-emotional intelligence.
