The OuchKit Helps Kids--and the Grown-Ups Who Love Them--Develop Emotional Fluency, Conflict Resolution Skills, and Compassion

Tue, 06 Dec 2005 13:00:00 GMT

When Betsy Sansby created the first OuchKit, she envisioned it as a therapy tool for couples.

The OuchKit Helps Parents and Kids Talk About Feelings

Wed, 19 Jan 2005 13:00:00 GMT

Parents complain that kids don't talk. Kids complain that parents don't listen. Betsy Sansby, a family therapist from Minnesota, has designed a communication tool that teaches everyone in the family to do both. The OuchKit--originally designed for couples--is an exchangeable set of cards with fill-in-the-blank questions and checklists of emotions that teach kids and grown-ups to recognize and express their feelings--without blowing up or shutting down. Kids like using The Ouchkit because it levels the playing field for all members of the family, regardless of age, experience, or status. Anyone who can read and write has equal opportunity to express a full range of feelings.

Understanding Women Requires Understanding Men

Sun, 19 Dec 2004 13:00:00 GMT

For men to understand women, they need to know what turns women off, and what turns them on. "What turns a woman off," says Sansby, a marriage counselor from Minnesota, "are criticism, denial of feelings, anger masquerading as logic, and fleeing. What turns a woman on is a man who knows what's on his mind and speaks what's in his heart." The OuchKit is a clever communication tool that helps men do both.
