• How does the EMOTIONAL GAME work?

  The objective of EMOTIONAL GAME is to go one step further in the development of emotional intelligence. To play both alone, as a couple or family. From 5 years old.

  You will learn about emotions by playing with the 47 emotion cards with inspiring images, their definition, and the emotional map board.

  The first part of the game is to acquire emotional language, the second part of the game is to recognize the emotions in yourself and in others, and the third part of the game is to define the emotional map of yourself, the couple or the family, of the stage that is being lived.

  To play, you must observe the image of each card, represent the emotion through mime, find the name of the emotion, read the definition of the emotion, answer questions about that emotion and each emotion will be placed on the emotional map board, through the four quadrants distinguishing between the frequency axis and the intensity axis (how much energy) with which this emotion is lived.

  With the emotional map we can visually see in a creative and clear way which emotions are being lived with greater intensity and frequency and which with less. And we can reach agreements to define what emotions we would like to have in another quadrant and how we think we could achieve it.

  With emotional game, in addition to learning about emotions (emotional language, recognition of emotion in our body, etc.), it will allow us to improve our way of expressing ourselves, communicating, understanding each other. As well as will help us to create dialogue dynamics that improve communication family.

• How does the GAME OF VALUES work?

  The goal of the GAME OF VALUES is to become aware of what values ​​are important to us both personally and as a couple or family.

  Becoming aware of the most important genuine values ​​for us, as well as establishing the values ​​of the couple, family or team, can lay the groundwork for interpersonal relationships to work properly.

  Establishing the values ​​of the couple, family or team requires a joint work that we propose to you with the 54 letters of values ​​and a series of instructions.

  Six random value cards will be taken and placed on the table. The value of the letter will be read and it will be commented on how important it is for everyone in their personal life and how important that same value is for the couple, family, team, etc.

  Another card will be taken from the pile and the image will be observed first and then the value will be read. It must be decided whether this value is more important than any of the six on the table. if it is more important the card will be replaced by the one on the table, if not the card will be removed. We will have to do the same action until we stay with our six main values.

  Values ​​guide our decisions and therefore our actions. Knowing how important values ​​are for each member and establishing family values ​​together will promote mutual understanding and generate a climate of communication and trust.

• How does the GAME DISCOVER YOUR TALENTS work?

  The GAME DISCOVER YOUR TALENTS is for you to know which are your six main talents.

  Research indicates that people who know and use their talents are more likely to experience pleasant feelings such as: energy, happiness, respect, etc., and less likely to experience unpleasant emotions or sensations such as stress, worry, anger and sadness.

  With KitCo you discover your talents thanks to a reflection with a full perspective, mainly due to two reasons: (i) It allows you to work with both the right hemisphere of the brain (intuition and emotion) through the inspiring images of the talent cards, as with the left hemisphere (logic and reason) through the concepts of each talent and their definition. (ii) KitCo also takes into account the talents that those who know us perceive in us, taking into account the difference between different environments (family, friends, coworkers, etc.).

  Have someone ever asked your family, friends or colleagues, etc. what talents do they perceive in you? With KitCo you will have your personal analysis of the talents, as well as the valuations of different people that you decide from your different environments (famili, friends, coworkers, etc.).

  Sometimes we have talents that we do not see ourselves because we have them so innate that we do not realize it. Sometimes an environment like, for instance, coworkers does not perceive a talent that our group of friends or family do.

  You will have the indications so that, with this information, you will decide your six main talents. Those talents that if you visualize developing makes you feel satisfied.

  Being clear about what your talents are is a great strengness when you are looking for a job or making decisions.

• There are so many options that I don't know which one to take

  If you are a personal development professional, I would definitely advise you to choose KitCo Professional. You will have simple and inspiring tools and dynamics, and thanks to the cards with inspiring images on one side and the concept (talent, courage, emotion) on the other, you can use KitCo as your own professional tool.

  If you are not a professional of personal development I advise you to take KitCo family, learning and fun is guaranteed.

  If you want to contribute with less money, I advise you to take the GAME DISCOVER YOUR PROFESSION if you have teenage children or the GAME OF EMOTIONS in the case of children of all ages.

  For couples the GAME OF VALUES can be very interesting and required.

  If you live outside of Spain but in Europe the shipping cost can be affordable, so you can choose any physical product.

  If you live outside Europe I recommend KitCo Online.

• How does KitCo FAMILIES work?

  KitCo families is an inspiring game to spend moments with your partner, family, friends, groups or teams, that promote the education of being.

  The educational models have been based on an education to acquire knowledge and skills to work.

  (ii) a second block of reflection for individual self-knowledge with dynamics such as: discover your talents, discover your ideal profession, discover your ikigai, be aware of your genuine values ​​that give you more satisfaction in life, learn to recognize and to manage your emotions, etc

• Does KitCo help you decide what you want as a couple?

  KitCo has several dynamics that will help you understand and become aware of what you feel on a loving level, as well as to be clearer about what you want in your partner to be able to make decisions

  KitCo allows you to carry out the dynamics and games both individually and in pairs.

  If it is individually it will help you become aware of how you are living your life to know if you should take action and thereby empower yourself to make decisions. With KitCo you experience personal growth and this helps you make decisions.

  If it is to do as a couple, there are several dynamics that will help the couple see how you are living the values ​​of the couple and what is your emotional map. This will help you to have deep conversations, both to establish an action plan to improve your situation and to take action and think about improving the satisfaction of your life each with her new path.

  For example there is a dynamic of values ​​where you can analyze if your partner values ​​are aligned with those of your partner. In this dynamic, it may happen that we discover that what is very important for one as a partner value is not for the other.

  With this we should have a conversation about how to deal with this situation and what can be done to bring the values ​​of each other closer and establish an agreement. KitCo helps you have meaningful conversations through a series of guidelines for effective communication.

  It may happen that through the conversation of a couple in this dynamic we see that it is very difficult for us to reach an agreement to establish the values ​​of the couple because they make us renounce values ​​for which we do not want to renounce. For example, for me it can be very important to communicate as a couple, to be able to tell us how we feel and express ourselves in a respectful and effective way, but instead for my partner, communication is not a value, because he prefers not to speak or on the contrary does not consider that there is nothing to improve or pay attention to in communication. In this case, this dynamic will make me think about what I really want to live as values ​​in my partner. And to know if what I am living is what I really want for me.

  There is also a dynamic to do as a couple as is the emotional map. With this dynamic you can or will be able to see what emotions are being lived as a couple. For example, perhaps you are living with low frequency or even low intensity and instead anger with high frequency, etc. With the emotional map you will see visually what emotions are lived and characterize the couple. The dynamics show how to understand the emotional map and how to understand what the emotions are telling us. With this you should also have deep conversations to establish action plans to improve this situation or you may even come to the conclusion that the emotions are asking you for a break from the couple.

  There is also another dynamic, coherence with my essence. Where once you discover your talents and become aware of your personal values, you will list the activities you do on a daily basis, including activities you do with your partner. You should analyze these activities and rate them according to your degree of satisfaction in the development of both talents and values. With this dynamic you will be able to visually understand what degree of satisfaction you have with your activities and what you can do to improve.

  In short, KitCo is used to make decisions about the couple, whether you do it individually because you will work for your self-knowledge and empowerment to make decisions, or if you do it as a couple to take action and improve your satisfaction with life as a couple or even to make decisions to go down new paths.
