MESH is NOT the new STEAM. MESH is a solution that utilizes toys as an answer to the mental health crisis among children and teens today.  The development of MESH skills is important to help kids learn how to navigate strong emotions and difficult experiences. So what is MESH?  MESH is an acronym for Mental, Emotional and Social Health. Developing MESH skills can help protect kids from the risky behaviors and self-harm that are too often the result of their mental distress.Today's podcast episode is a Masterclass on MESH with Rachel Harmuth, the Head of ThinkFun. MESH products are products that build skills like problem solving, perseverance, adaptation, conflict resolution, self-regulation, self-advocacy, cognitive skills, and communication strategies.If you have a toy or game product that could potentially fit into the MESH category, this is an episode you can't afford to miss. In this episode you'll learn all about the MESH movement, who is behind it, and you'll uncover how you can get involved.MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:For the links and resources mentioned in this episode, head over to the episode page at https://www.thetoycoach.com/164 TCA Self Study is now open for enrollment.

This week Julius talks with Joe Slack, designer of Relics of Rajavihadra.  This is a puzzle game, think Think Fun's Rush Hour or River Crossing.  These are fun spatial puzzles include large pieces to play with, grab in your hand and move about.  I really enjoy these kinds of games, or puzzles, as you prefer.  This one sounds pretty cool!   Relics of Rajavihara (BGG, Crazy Like a Box)
