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).
The most pertinent thing for this age group to know is that we are what we feel. Unfortunately, most kids are ashamed of their heavy feelings. Onionhead® teaches ‘name it’, ‘claim it’, ‘tame it’, and ‘never be ashamed of it’. He teaches them to be direct in such a way that they develop a strength and stamina in whomever they are and whatever they stand for.
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.
Use the products the same way you would use them with anyone. Have the child pick out the emotions that she is feeling. If the choices are heavy, ask her to show you what she would like to feel. Then ask if she can describe why she (or Onionhead®) is feeling the heavy emotion. Some children feel safer expressing how Onionhead® is feeling. Allow them to speak through him. If they are all light, ask the child to share. Do this daily, or twice daily, and you will surely get to know this child. Children love choosing the cards because they feel they are in charge of themselves; it has proven to be self-empowering.
