Breathe, Think, Do with Sesame App Reviews

I have used this app with my preschool kids and have loved it. I would have given it a higher rating but when the new update came out, it refused to download it. So, I foolishly deleted it so that I could re-download the newer version. Now, it refuses to let me do that! I am extremely sad as this was really helping some of my students with their breathing. Please fix it so that I can use it once more!

This app is great, but the Nov. 2015 update ruined the volume; my son and I cant hear it!?! This would otherwise be a 5-star app. Please fix it!

The volume is almost inaudible. You need to put the device right up to your ear and then you cannot even really hear it. I would love to use this with my child once this is hopefully fixed.

My children really enjoy this app! But for some reason there is an issue with the volume, which causes frustration because my children are having a difficult time listening!

I liked parts of the first challenge that focused on frustration. It engaged the viewer in the practice of calming down and modeled coming up with a solution from a choice of 3 plans. However there are too few topics and practice opportunities to make this a really useful app.

Now that the sound is working its great! I work with pre-schoolers, they really enjoy it!

I teach three and four year olds. We deal with a LOT of strong emotions! I highly recommend this app for parents of young children and for teachers! In fact Ive encouraged parents to download it at parent teacher conferences! This app offers five common frustrating scenarios that occur in childhood, and a model to help children cope in an effective manner. It teaches them to take three, deep breaths when they are mad or frustrated, which is a tool I use all the time in the classroom. They pop the bubbles to give them time to think of a solution, then the app offers three developmentally appropriate choices. Its fun and encourages problem solving.

I love this app so far. Except that I cant get it to work; it crashes constantly.
