Background
Playful embodied interactions supporting children’s emotional regulation through physical engagement.
Shift, Shift
This project explores how playful, embodied interactions can support emotional regulation in children aged 7–9. Through workshops, interviews, and prototyping, it develops two connected products: a handheld interactive object with compression and light feedback linked to a simple app, and a large soft interactive object that invites full-body movement to support children in emotionally overwhelming situations.
