# Life Scenario

> Life Scenario (https://lifescenario.ai) is a social and emotional learning (SEL) game for children aged 6–14. Children practise real-life situations out loud (at home, at school, online) and get gentle AI feedback that parents and educators can turn into a conversation. It is a practice tool, not a test or a clinical assessment.

## How it works

- Scenarios are written by the Life Scenario team together with child psychologists. The AI feedback on answers is not reviewed by a psychologist.
- A child picks a scenario in a story world guided by Orian the wizard, thinks about it, and answers out loud (or types).
- The spoken answer is converted to text. An AI language model reads it and gives feedback on the few SEL traits that scenario practises: a 0–100 score per trait with a short explanation, an encouraging note and ideas to try next time.
- The 15 traits: Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Confidence, Courage, Empathy, Kindness, Resilience, Optimism, Relationship Skills, Social Awareness, Integrity, Focus, Responsibility, Belonging & Identity, Digital Awareness.
- Each trait has a practice level that goes up as a child plays more scenarios for it. The level counts practice; it is not a measure of development.
- Children's answers pass through child-safety filters. Parents and educators see each child's practice levels and session feedback in their dashboard.
