This game is good for kids who need help with:

Self-Awareness

Understanding our own actions, thoughts and feelings.

Each battle requires different strategies, and these must periodically be amended to tailor to different map layouts and enemy positions. Players need to be able to identify what they are doing well, and more importantly, what they are doing wrong. This means shuffling around their troops or attacking from a new angle. Sometimes it may be better not to attack at all, waiting for the enemy to move and playing defensively. Players who can best assess their own play styles and identify which strategies worked (and which ones did not) are most likely to proceed far into the game.

Planning

Developing a systematic approach for setting and achieving goals.

Since battles are turn-based, players have plenty of time to think during battle. This means they can plot out a course of action without having to make quick decisions and hair-trigger reactions. Instead they can survey the map and take note of enemy positions, deciding what troops to deploy where. Some troops have ranged attacks (allowing then to strike from a distance) while others are more like a tank (slow and powerful). In order to win, players need to craft sound battle plans that use these different abilities wisely.

Furthermore, the game features a "Map Design Mode" that allows players to build their own battle maps. In order to build a fun and interesting map, several steps and a good amount of foresight is required, as players need to methodically position several elements, like water, bridges, buildings and roads.
