Don’t do to…Do with.
The Elementals: 16 qualities of being human, common to everyone. Yet everyone has adapted to not using some of them, resulting in a gap or absence that is missed and notable. Using colorful cards with intriguing language and probing questions, users are drawn to the Elementals they are least familiar with and are encouraged to practice that ‘muscle’. An easy-to-use Companion Guide provides further ideas, discussion questions and worksheets. Use of the Elementals ignites actions that build self-agency and deepens essential social and emotional skills.
