this app is good for kids who need help with:

Self-Awareness

Understanding our own actions, thoughts and feelings. Improving social skills.

FaceTime operates in two windows on the user’s screen. One large window displays the second participant in the conversation, while the smaller window displays what the other participant is seeing. The smaller window ensures the user is conscientious of the video chatting experience of the second participant, whether there is enough light, or the camera is positioned for an optimal viewing experience. Maintaining composure can improve the steadiness of a handheld device, as well as improve the quality of the audio. The user must practice conversational etiquette similarly to a face-to-face conversation. Speaking over the other participant, or using an excessively loud voice can quickly degrade the quality of a video chat.

Planning

Developing a systematic approach for setting and achieving goals. Improving short-term planning.

Coordinating a time for a FaceTime conversation involves ensuring the availability of both parties. Though FaceTime can be used over a cellular connection, the experienced is optimal when both users are connected to WiFi. The application can also be used as an agent of planning. Coordinating trips, school projects, or working with a tutor are all made significantly easier and more personal over a video chat than through e-mail or text message. Participants may find that their ability to collaborate is far improved when the other participant is visible. Judging mood, tone and other non-verbal communications can be extremely beneficial to cohesiveness and encourage the practice of Planning even over long distances.
