In order to work on improving a problem, one must first admit there is a problem. However, admitting problems and mistakes takes strong ego strength which is often lacking in young clients. This game was developed for the purpose of helping individuals feel less reactive to admitting mistakes by desensitizing them to the process. It will assist those children and adolescents who need to take responsibility for their actions, learn how to admit mistakes and problems and, when necessary, to apologize.
