Phasmophobia helps kids practice and improve the following skills:

Planning: Developing a systematic approach for setting and achieving goals. 

In order to work within the limited time period of five minutes, the player needs to have a plan for how they are going to try and find information. If they are looking to achieve the optional objectives, they also need to have a plan for how those will be accomplished as well. If a player struggles with planning they may find that they have not been able to find any information about the ghost or achieve many objectives before the hunting phase begins. For these players, taking a moment to think about what equipment they are bridging with them and what objectives they will try and achieve will help set them up better for not getting caught. 

Flexibility: Adapting and adjusting to changing conditions and expectations.

Within your van you can acquire a large amount of ghost-hunting equipment. But not every piece of equipment will work every time. The player needs to use their flexibility skills and be willing to try new things, move into different rooms, and generally be willing to adapt to a changing environment within a short period of time. Players who struggle with flexibility may find that they are constantly getting caught by the ghost because they are staying in one area too long or not varying the type of equipment they are using.
