What age group do you think the Onionhead® products are best for?

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

Onionhead® is great for all ages, from 1 to 101. 

However, with all our present problems concerning children, we want to reach them as young as possible. The faster we teach them emotional knowledge and social skills, the faster we will help them have a more loving and successful life.  Onionhead products are generally developed for “ages uo to 9″ (for children’s) and “ages 9 & up” (for teens and adults).

I am a counselor at an addiction center. Could the Onionhead® cards be good for our clients?

Yes, indeed. The Onionhead® products are very useful for this purpose. Most substance users numb their emotions in order to survive. They do not know what they feel at all. Onionhead® is an easy, non threatening, gentle way to introduce them to themselves. The results have been extremely positive.

How can Onionhead® help me with an angry teenager?

Anger is a reaction to another emotion. This is why teaching children a larger emotional spectrum is vitally important. Create a conflict resolution platform by separating the deck into the positive light and heavy emotions. Have the person pick three cards from the heavy deck, and then have them pick three cards from the light deck. The heavy emotions reflect the true underlying feelings. Using the three light emotions, have the person construct a peaceful solution to the problem.

I am an occupational therapist. Which is the best way to use Onionhead® with my patients?

Place the Onionhead® card deck face down and have the child pick four cards-two with their right hand and two with their left hand. Have them speak about these feelings. Every time you ask them a question, have them answer through Onionhead®. Because Onionhead® is pure and non-threatening, he becomes one with them.
