Ibex Kin

I wasn't sure how my son would react to a toy about feelings, but the idea of emotional courage really clicked with him. We've been using the included prompts to talk about his day, and it's opened up conversations I didn't expect. The materials are nice and sturdy too, which is a relief.

My son has been using Ibex to talk through his feelings after tough days at school, and it's amazing how naming emotions with a furry friend makes it click for him. The emotional courage prompts actually get him opening up about fears he'd never voice before.

My daughter struggles to name her feelings, so the way this little felt friend walks her through empathy and courage feels tailor-made for her. She proudly shows me which emotion Ibex is helping her with each day.

We’ve been using the emotion identification prompts with my youngest, and it’s amazing how quickly he started naming his own feelings. The soft, sturdy material can handle daily play, which is a huge plus.

My four-year-old has been surprisingly eager to talk about her fears since we started using Ibex; the way the activity cards prompt her to name specific emotions feels very natural. It's already made a real difference in how she identifies when she's feeling nervous or brave.

The little card that comes with Ibex has helped my daughter put words to her big feelings when she couldn't before. It's sturdy and the artwork is gentle, though I wish the bundle included a few more activity ideas.

My daughter connects with the Ibex's story about bravery more than I expected, though the plush itself is a bit smaller than the photos suggest. Still, it's already helping her name her feelings during tough moments—worth it for that alone.

My son has been more open about talking through his worries since we got Ibex. The little story cards really help him connect feelings to words. I just wish the bundle included a few more activity suggestions for parents.

My kid actually opened up about feeling nervous at school after we used the empathy scenario cards together. The sturdy cardstock is a nice touch since little hands can be rough. Would have loved a few more suggested conversation starters for parents.

The emotion-identification cards are sturdy enough to survive my toddler's tossing, though I wish the guide offered more activity ideas for shy kids. Still, it's been a helpful tool for our after-school check-ins.
