The science behind Magical U

Magical U is based on negative effects of subconscious programming.

Let’s define subconscious programming “…the part of your mind that notices and
remembers information when you are not actively trying to do so, and influences your
behaviour even though you do not realise it”.

Here is an example:

 A 7-year-old boy is happily playing, when suddenly he hears his parents quarrelling in the next room. He goes to stop them arguing, sees his Mum crying and wants to make her feel better.
However, his dad says ‘it’s none of your business’ and to ‘buck up and go and play’. The little boy is left with his pain, feeling helpless, confused and alone.  Not knowing how to deal with this he ‘bucks up’ by suppressing his emotions. The next time a similar situation happens he remembers his Dad’s words and withdraws, pretending not to feel the pain. A behaviour pattern is being formed.

Now he begins to feel unworthy, helpless and guilty. Once again, he buries his emotions and ‘bucks up,’ believing his emotions are not appropriate and should not be expressed.

Over time these suppressed emotions can create limiting beliefs and negative behaviour responses of ‘not good enough,’ ‘not wanted’, ‘unimportant’ and even the blaming self.

Playing Magical U allows parents and professionals to address these situations in the early stages before they become entrenched and more complicated in later years. When addressed through play, negative emotions and behaviour patterns become adventures of choice, empowerment and fun. 

Covid Challenges and Magical U

Coronavirus is profoundly affecting life around the globe. Isolation, contact restrictions and economic shutdown impose a complete change to the psychosocial environment. These measures have the potential to significantly threaten the mental health of children and adolescents.

Even though the current crisis brings opportunities for personal growth and family cohesion, disadvantages can outweigh the benefits. Anxiety, lack of peer contact and reduced opportunities for sports and stress regulation are main concerns. Not to mention increased risk for parental mental illness, domestic violence and child maltreatment.

Magical U is the perfect game for families to play and release the tensions of the day and bring clarity to challenging situations.

Our children are our future – don’t they deserve the very best now?
Magical U can help You help them create this gift for themselves.
