Climber

 

Welcome to Climber! This fun and interactive game is designed to help clients break down big goals into smaller, manageable steps. It's perfect for teaching kids how to set goals, build confidence, and it can even be used for exposure therapy with anxiety or OCD. To get started, click Start a new climb. Each goal your client wants to work on should be its own “climb.” On the next screen, the client will enter their big goal and then choose their preferred setting. They can pick from three themes: a city background, where they work their way to a rooftop, a mountain theme where they aim to reach the rainbow at the top of the peak, or a forest theme, where they climb towards a treehouse.

Once the goal and setting are chosen, it’s time to break the goal into smaller steps. Starting from the bottom, work with your client to input the first step. As they complete each step, they will move closer to their big goal. The number of steps is customizable, so you can add, delete, or rearrange them as needed until the climb is just right. After the climb is set, your client will begin their journey! Climber is designed to be used over multiple sessions, with clients returning to mark off completed steps and continue progressing. To mark a step as done, they simply click the goal and select Mark as Done, then reflect on how they felt about completing that task. Once they finish a task, the next step is highlighted in yellow, prompting them to continue their climb.

One of the best features of Climber is its ability to track multiple goals at once. Clients can work on several climbs simultaneously, and you can easily view their progress on the menu page. 

You can also make changes to your steps and goals at any time during the climb.  Open a step, and click Edit. This will take you to the edit screen where you can update text, re-order or re-do steps, or update your big goal.

Climber is a great way for kids to set and achieve goals in a fun and structured way, helping them build confidence as they break big challenges into small, manageable tasks.
