THIS GAME IS GOOD FOR KIDS WHO NEED HELP WITH:

Planning

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

Begin with the end in mind. Before players turn the first spigot, it would do them well to take a look at the positions of the flowers that need water and the gnomes. In later levels, players will need to understand the game's piping system. Pipes come in matching pairs and transfer water equally between two damed areas. Understanding the cause/effect relationship for each move keeps players from making unnecessary mistakes. Having a plan in Let Me Grow is as simple as understanding the relationships among the various objects in the puzzle.

Flexibility

Adapting and adjusting to changing conditions and expectations, especially adapting to obstacles.

It's almost impossible to solve even the first 10 puzzles on the first attempt. There are really no instructions or tutorials for how to use the aqueduct type pipes or the blocks that act like a dam. Players must learn how to manipulate and employ these objects during play. Adapting to new rules in Let Me Grow's ever changing puzzle environment, forces players to practice the flexibility thinking skill. Although some of the solutions are difficult to find, if players experiment with the functions of each item on the map they will eventually solve the puzzle.
