When children and teenagers feel secure enough to communicate openly with a parent, a teacher or other adult figure, they naturally feel recharged, confident and inspired. Unless opportunities for children to communicate their thoughts and ideas to adults present themselves in ways that are both encouraging and enjoyable, children miss the chance to express good and bad feelings that need to be addressed by adults who care about them. At the center of the CareMailproduct line is a miniature mailbox complete with a flag that is placed upright when a message is in the mailbox. You get a set of Question Cards and Combination Cards, blank cards on which to write personal messages and fill-in-the-blank cards that senders can put in the mailbox. When the flag is up, the recipient knows there is a message waiting. And who can resist checking their mail when they know it&#039;s especially for them? Question Cards have questions like &#034;what&#039;s the best thing that has ever happened to you?&#034; while Combination Cards offer motivational messages and compelling questions that challenge the child to explore their inner feelings. Both types of CareMailCards are designed to help children develop their communication skills as well as their self-confidence and self-esteem.&#034; Additional card sets can be purchased separately for ages 5-8 and teens.
