Health and Stress Management For Successful Aging
A game that teaches how to cope with stress
Designed as a therapeutic modality for people who work with the aging population. This program, which consists of a workbook and a game, enhances the concept of healthy aging by increasing cognitive, social and psychological integration skills. The game provides an enjoyable and non-threatening way to learn about stress management and practice skills needed for successful aging. This modality can be used as a stand-alone coping and stress management skills protocol, or as an adjunct to a pre-existing program for people over 50 years of age. It is an ideal tool for use in psychogeriatric programs, senior centers, retirement communities and rehabilitation clinics that address psychosocial aspects of age and disability related issues. Developed by Professor George Singer.

PLAY Tip
When is it good to be a creepy crawly?
To help children with low muscle tone or strength learn to creep, try putting them at the top of a gently slanting smooth board. Put an interesting toy like a Skwish, at the bottom and watch them go! A couple of hints for kids who are slow to get it:
Bare feet help.
You can place your palms at the soles of their feet to give them something to push off against.
If needed, flex their legs reciprically to help them learn the movement pattern.
