Short lessons for kids. Practical support for parents.

Help your child know what to do with big feelings. Before the hard moment.

Big emotions are not the problem

It's hard to teach a new skill when emotions are already high.

You may know exactly what you want your child to learn. Explaining it in the middle of a hard moment is another matter. EQ Ninjas gives kids a chance to practice first, while things are calm. The parent guide shows you what they're learning and how to follow up at home.

How EQ Ninjas works

Each child gets a clear path. You get a simple way to follow along.

Choose a child profile, follow one workbook day, open the app when prompted, and use the matching parent guide to continue the conversation at home.

Step 1 · Child

Follow the workbook

The kid workbook introduces one skill through a five-day routine and tells your child exactly when to use the app.

Step 2 · Child

Bring it to life in the app

The app reads stories, teaching, activity instructions, quiz questions, answer choices, and feedback aloud. Each profile keeps its own lesson, belt, and badge progress.

Step 3 · Parent

Follow up at home

The matching parent guide explains what your child is practicing and gives you questions and language to use at home.

Inside your family plan

The workbook leads each skill. The app brings it to life.

Each module gives your child a workbook-led path to learn, practice, and revisit one skill. Prompts send them to the app for stories, teaching, activities, and quizzes, while the matching parent guide helps you follow along.

  • Kid workbook that guides every lesson
  • Stories, teaching, activities, and quizzes in the app
  • Matching parent guide with follow-up questions
  • Up to four child profiles with separate progress
  • Belts and badges that mark practice and progress

Your child practices noticing what is happening and choosing one useful next step. Belts and badges make that practice visible along the way.

Designed mainly for ages 6 to 12. Some younger or older children may be a good fit, too.

For homeschool families

Use EQ Ninjas as a full-year emotional skills curriculum.

Homeschool families can use the five-day sequence as a full-year curriculum. Other families can complete the same lessons before school, after school, or whenever they fit.

Print the kid workbook and follow its five-day sequence. It tells your child when to open the app for a story, teaching segment, activity, or quiz. Use the parent guide to follow up at home.

Why I built EQ Ninjas

“I wanted to teach my kids the skills I had to learn as an adult.”

My doctoral research examined how emotional intelligence develops and how it can be taught. That work was personal for me. I knew what it was like to lose my patience with my kids and wish I had handled the moment differently. I was trying to teach them skills I was still working on myself. I created EQ Ninjas to turn the research into clear, practical lessons children can practice while they are calm and use when emotions run high.

Print it and keep it nearby so the steps are easy to find when you need them.

Questions parents ask

Questions parents ask before they start.

Wondering about something else? Send us your question.

What ages is EQ Ninjas designed for?

Most children between 6 and 12 will be a good fit. That is not a hard cutoff. You know your child best, and some younger or older children may benefit from the program too.

Can children who are still learning to read use EQ Ninjas?

Yes. The app reads stories, teaching, activity instructions, quiz questions, answer choices, and feedback aloud. New readers and children who need reading support will need an adult's help with the printed workbook. Children who read comfortably can usually follow the workbook on their own.

Will I need to lead every lesson?

That depends on your child's reading ability. Children who read comfortably can usually follow the workbook and open the app on their own. New readers and children who need reading support will need help with the workbook, while app stories, teaching, activity instructions, and quizzes include read-aloud audio. The parent guide helps you follow what your child is learning without having to prepare or teach each lesson yourself.

What does the family plan include?

One plan covers up to four children. Parents can request each available belt's kid workbook and matching parent guide through the app for delivery to the email address on file. Each child profile keeps separate lesson, belt, and badge progress through the stories, teaching, activities, and quizzes the workbook calls for.

What if I have more than four children?

Email us at hello@EQNinjas.Com for special pricing.

What devices do we need?

You'll need a compatible iPhone, iPad, or Android phone or tablet for the app activities, plus access to a printer for the kid workbooks, parent guides, and practice pages.

Why don’t all the lessons unlock at once?

Emotional skills take practice. Lessons unlock in order so children have time to use each skill before moving on to the next one.

Can homeschool families use this as curriculum?

Yes. Five lessons each week, along with the printable materials, provide a full year of structured emotional skills learning. Families who do not homeschool can use the same program at home.

Can I cancel my subscription?

Yes. In the EQ Ninjas app, open the Action Menu and choose Manage Subscription to cancel before your next renewal. Payments already made for the current month or year are nonrefundable.
