Dreams helps kids practice and improve the following skills:

Flexibility: Trying something new. 

If the player struggles with flexibility, Dreams is a perfect way to practice strengthening this skill. Because there is so much content created by other people accessible within the game, players can try a variety of different games that they may normally not have thought to try previously. For example, if the player is used to only playing RPG’s, trying a racing game may be a good way to step outside of their comfort zone and potentially find something they didn’t think they would enjoy. Also, creating a game or piece of art on your own can help practice flexibility as well. If the player has never created a game before or a piece of music for example, this can be a great low-stakes environment to try these things out for the first time. 

Self-Control: Managing our actions, feelings and behaviors.

Creation can be a lot of fun but it can also be frustrating at times. Players may look at the creations of other players and wonder why they cannot create something that looks as polished and professional. But the player needs to exercise their self-control skills and stay calm and patient and keep practicing with the tools. Persistence will pay off and the player will find that by sticking with it and not getting too frustrated, they are improving in their creation of art as well.
