Ensuring Your Child’s Emotional Wellbeing – SKIDOS Launches Rekindle Minds for Young Kids

The new play-learning module helps educators and parents to nurture emotional and social skills among children aged 4+ with interactive videos and games

Ensuring Your Child’s Emotional Wellbeing – SKIDOS Launches Rekindle Minds for Young Kids
New Emotional Wellbeing Module - SKIDOS REKINDLE MINDS

SKIDOS the learning apps platform for kids has launched a new emotional wellbeing module titled SKIDOS Rekindle Minds. It features videos, stories, and lessons designed to help children learn social emotional skills.

SKIDOS, the award-winning platform of popular learning games for children, has announced the launch of its latest gem - Rekindle Minds, a pathbreaking interactive module that helps children navigate the social-emotional challenges of modern living. Based on guidelines by CASEL, this addition makes SKIDOS universe a complete play-learning solution for early childhood.

Unfortunately, conventional schooling methods pay little attention to the development of these vital skills among young children. As a result, educators and parents across the world now report alarming levels of emotional distress among children, with problems like low grades in school, minimal social interaction etc. leading to temper tantrums and high anxiety. Underdeveloped social-emotional skills can further snowball into bad academic performance, lack of healthy friendships, or lower career prospects later in life.

SKIDOS Rekindle Minds takes kids on a self-learning journey. For curious minds aged 4 years and older, it is a guided fun-filled adventure towards understanding their emotions. The module aims to improve the emotional wellbeing of kids and raise them as confident and happy lifelong learners.

Designed as an exciting game, Rekindle Minds smartly introduces bite-sized lessons on key life skills at each level. This makes it uniquely child-centered and effective in its mission to improve their social and emotional skills.

Rekindle Minds  adventures centers on 5 enchanting play-worlds, each named after core competencies under CASEL guidelines- self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. With smart interactive videos, mini games, animations, each fun world keeps children engaged and eager to keep growing. Bonus features like Mood-checker and Progress Report further help students recognize their emotions and win rewards that can be used within the app.

Mr. Thomas Santo, an ex-principal with 20+ years of experience in early childhood education, elaborated on the need for social-emotional learning, “With good social emotional skills, children are more resilient and excel in school and later in their careers.” Addressing parents, he further stated, “Investing in your child's Social Emotional Learning is an investment in their future.” 

Working mom Yuliya said, “It is very important for my child to be equipped with both fundamental academic, and social emotional skills. These lessons will help my child achieve confidence, happiness, and contentment while exploring their way through personal and professional life. The interactive videos in SKIDOS Rekindle Minds are game-changers! Maria, my younger kid, absolutely loves the different worlds and especially the character Moyo.”

To try Rekindle Minds, download and start playing with SKIDOS's latest game. The app is also available directly on the Apple or Google Play store.

Ideate Labs Gives Boost to Aspiring Career-Changers With Exclusive 4-Month ‘MBA’ UX Design Course

The Personalized Course Offers In-Depth Instruction for New Grads, Gig Workers and Others Trying to Break Into the Competitive Field of Modern UX Design

Ideate Labs, a leader in online UI/UX design courses and mentorships, is proud to offer women, minorities, and POC the education and insight they need to open up doors in the in-demand field of digital design. To ensure everyone gets the right level of support, Ideate Labs is offering a four-month-long MBA-inspired UX design course that helps students unleash their potential in the most impactful way possible. 

Ideate Lab’s exclusive four-month course is personalized to the needs of each student, with features that include a one-on-one mentorship with an established UX design pro and intimate classes that can be done part-time and at a student’s own pace. 

Unlike many similar courses online, Ideate Lab’s UX design course isn’t intended to be a one-size-fits-all learning experience. Instead, the four-month masterclass is geared toward individuals who are disenfranchised in the field or are struggling to get their foot in the door, in particular women and those who don’t have the budget or time to devote to other intensive UX design courses. 

The Ideate Labs “MBA” course is 2-3x less expensive than comparable courses and does not require a full-time commitment from students. Enrollees get personalized, hour-long design therapy sessions every week with an assigned mentor, as well as interactive lectures, peer-led discussion groups, and weekly design critiques. Also included is lifelong access to the Ideate Labs community, which includes group career coaching and alumni support. 

Rather than pack a ton of information into a short period of time, the four-month UX design course lets students take their time mastering digital design and building their portfolio and resume. Students are encouraged to do about five to 10 hours of active study time per week, which allows time for part- or full-time jobs and family responsibilities. Supplemental features like custom three-month career blueprints ensure that everyone has a clear path that they can follow to a six-figure job upon graduation. 

So what’s the end goal? Aside from a high-paying job in UI or UX design (Ideate Labs graduates increase their salaries by 1.8x on average), Ideate Labs is dedicated to helping all students achieve great things in their careers and offers a curriculum that prepares individuals for senior and management-level UX jobs. Among Ideate Labs graduates are current leaders in UX research and UX design across Reddit, PNC, Capital One, BYN Mellon, CVS, Truist, Keller Williams, GE Aviation, and more. With the right team and project management, there's no limit to how far students can take their Ideate Labs education. 

Ideate Labs, women-run and women-founded, caters to all individuals in the UX space. Learn more today, and reserve your spot by Feb. 8, 2024, to participate in the upcoming Ideate Labs UX Design “MBA” course. Early-bird pricing is available through Feb. 1, with an official course kick-off date of Feb. 11. 

In addition to securing a spot in the upcoming UX design course, enrollees will also receive free access to Ideate Lab’s bestselling UX Resume & Portfolio Course ($790), Create a Career in UX Design ebook ($150), and a complimentary resume review ($150). 

Your future in UI and UX design starts at Ideate Labs. Visit www.ideatelabs.co today to see all current course offerings and take that first all-important step toward a fulfilling career in advanced digital design.
