Pros and cons of Breathe, Think, Do with Sesame app for iPhone and iPad

Breathe, Think, Do with Sesame app good for

Great little program to help little ones (mine is 4), to handle feelings.
Fabulous game to teach executive function skills. Shows a child how you can stop and generate good choices. Love it! I use it at home with my 6 year old and at work with my preschoolers/kindergarteners with autism.

Some bad moments

I just finished doing all of the activities in the new "Breathe, Think, Do" app from Sesame Street. Fabulous app! I love that the app includes examples of self-directed solutions as well as seeking help from an adult. And that 3 ideas for solutions are shown for each situation (helping kids see that there can be multiple alternatives). Its really cool how the app depicts the monster calming down as he breathes and thinks. The "Parent" section of the app has fabulous tips too. Most of the kids on my caseload have Autism or closely related diagnoses and high levels of anxiety. This app will be great to use with them.

I have an original iPad iOS 5 for my 2 year old. Sadly as promising as this app seems we are not able to use it due to it constantly crashing.
Breathe, Think, Do with Sesame is an incredible interactive app on learning to self regulate by using the medium of the breath, then brainstorming a plan of action. I love how this teaches children that calming is within themselves and not through an external mean. There are 5 different situations familiar to kids in their everyday lives - dealing with frustration, fear, impatience, etc. Helping the monster come up with a plan of action, models making decisions or plans of actions. As a child becomes more involved in the decision making, they grow more confident and capable and willing to try alternatives to habitual patterns. There are 3 alternatives to explore in helping the little monster overcome his obstacle. Exploring each, demonstrates that there are no right or wrong answers to solving many problems...and that we may have to try a couple of things to help us calm down. Once a decision is made, you get to see the outcome play out, insuring further exploration of other choices. You are also reinforced by the narrator tellin you how helpful you've been. The hardest lesson for me as an adult has always been, that I do not have to follow habitual patterns, and that I can change on the spot. This is a valuable app for parents and clinicians, and one that should be reinforced as situations come up. Highly Highly Recommended.
This app is amazing! I use it with preschoolers with special needs at various levels of functioning and they all learn how to breathe with the monster. I would highly recommend it and wished there were more scenarios to the app (because I would be willing to pay for them!).
I was very excited for my son to try this app but it crashes at the beginning. Very disappointing!
This app crashes before its even open!!!! It is totally useless. Plz help. Fix immediately!
