Worried Wendall & the Bad Germ 1.0

Snap Stories about Feelings are therapeutic resources designed to aid children in understanding and managing their emotions, such as anger, sadness, and worry. The app, available for free from Snappy Kids LLC, features Wendall the worried mouse who learns to cope with his fears related to the coronavirus (COVID-19). Through listening to the narrative, viewing accompanying illustrations, and engaging in provided activities, kids can strengthen their emotional intelligence without the need for reading skills, although following along with the story can be an added benefit. No specialized clinical training is required to utilize the app, making it accessible for children to use independently or with the guidance of a mental health professional, parent, or caregiver. Mental health professionals working with children will appreciate the app as a helpful tool within their practice, and educators can also find value in its content.

Worried Wendall and the Bad Germ is one installment in a collection of apps developed by Snappy Kids. Founded by a child psychotherapist and registered play therapist in collaboration with a design engineer, the series aims to deliver valuable resources for children's emotional well-being.
