We are releasing a special anniversary video to mark 15 years of the "Just Like When" cards by Quirky Kid. This video provides a quick demonstration of the cards and showcases their beautiful design, giving you a closer look at what makes these cards a valuable resource for children.

First published in 2009 (and a second edition in 2019) by Quirky Kid, the "Just Like When" cards have become a trusted tool in child psychology and education contexts. They have been used by more than 1,300 schools and clinics globally, helping countless children explore and express their emotions.

The Origins of the "Just Like When" Cards

Dr. Kimberley O'Brien developed the "Just Like When" cards to help address children's emotional challenges. Designed with care and insight, these cards help young people articulate their feelings and navigate complex emotional situations. Created over 15 years ago and inspired by the experiences of young clients at Quirky Kid Clinic, the cards have proven invaluable tools in classrooms, clinics, and homes worldwide.

How the Cards Make a Difference

The strength of the "Just Like When" cards lies in their ability to foster meaningful conversations. With thoughtful questions and detailed illustrations, the cards provide a safe space for children to explore emotions like jealousy, sibling rivalry, and peer conflict.

The cards help children develop a broader emotional vocabulary and essential coping skills, whether used in group settings or one-on-one.

A Big Thank You and How to Get Your Own Set
