Raising Possibility Kids through Oikos Game

Oikos Game: A Personal Development and Emotional Skills Game is a board game that can help children learn skills such as anger management, assertiveness, empathy, and dealing with bullies while having fun in the process.

Clarenville, NL (PRWEB) April 13, 2004 - Is it possible to raise confident and positive kids through a board game? According to Dr. Michael Rayel, inventor of Oikos Game, the best way to teach kids the necessary personal and emotional skills to face lifes challenges is through a game.

Dr Rayel developed Oikos Game with his own children in mind. He wanted to teach them personal development and emotional skills while still in their formative years. While creating and testing the game with them, his children developed a sense of curiosity and decided to take some of the games development in their own hands.

Indeed, his four children helped him and his wife, Gayzelle in the process of honing the game - to make it really fun. Fun is the key word. If you want children to learn basic skills without getting bored, then make your teaching as fun as possible," said Dr. Rayel.

The Oikos Game must be really fun. Dr. Rayels children cant wait for the first board game to come out of production. Dr. Rayel said, They are just so excited. While were developing the game, they learned a lot and had great fun. The games unique design, attractive colors, and multinational background excite them all the more."

Oikos Game: A Personal Development and Emotional Skills Game is a board game that can help children learn skills such as anger management, assertiveness, empathy, and dealing with bullies while having fun in the process. This is the first game invented by Dr. Rayel to help them become emotionally prepared. He however promised to develop more games. Together with his wife Gayzelle, he created Oikos Global, a private company that will create, develop, distribute, and sell this type of games.

Too much internet and video games are not healthy for kids over the long haul. They need to play a board game like Oikos Game to develop lifes skills," said Dr. Rayel, author of First Aid to Mental Illness.

Aside from his interest in positive games, Dr. Rayel is also an author, speaker, and a psychiatrist. He advocates for mental health first aid and pioneered the CARE Approach as practical steps in dealing with the early phase of mental illness.
