Onionhead® is appropriate for every member of the family, no matter what the age. Take time to sit together and pull some cards. Then talk about what and why you feel this way. This creates an intimacy that would otherwise probably not occur. Use Onionhead® for problem solving, confusion, difficulties, and even in peaceful times. The magnets also serve as a quick and easy way to get to know each other better. Trust and honesty are birthed as a result.
