AnimalAgentz Yo-yo the Cat

The Cat to teach distraction
How it works: Each Dr Jones' cartoon Animal Agent teaches different
stress-management and coping skills. Children do not understand how to
relax on demand but through playing with the web-based cartoon Animal
Agentz, they learn such techniques and can repeat them in stressful
situations. The child will remember the actions and behaviours of
"Bubbles" the fish, "Yo-Yo" the cat and other Animal Agentz and use
them when they need to remain calm. One mother said "if you say to a
child 'relax' it means nothing to them but if you let your child play
with the Animal Agentz "fish" (breathing skills) and then say to the
child what did the fish do? I then found him acting out the fish
skills and becoming relaxed".
