How GROK cards build emotional intelligence
They help translate criticism and blame when there’s a conflict
They support dysregulated students in calming their stress response and easing anxiety
They scaffold self-connection and perspective taking for neurodiverse learners
Kids GROK
Illustrated Feelings/Needs cards, ages 4-10
- For the kindergartner who bites when she can't find words for her frustration.
- For the students learning their "needs" vocabulary.
When a child can verbalize their experience, they don't have to act it out instead.
GROK Empathy Cards
Our bestselling Feelings/Needs cards, ages 11+
- For the advisory group that's been 'off' all day.
- For the kid who shrugs questions off but clearly is dysregulated.
When a teen can say what they're feeling, "I'm fine" stops being the whole story.
Classroom Kids GROK Cards
Oversized illustrated cards, ages 4-10
- For morning meetings so you know how your students actually arrived.
- For the group who is antsy for the holiday.
When a class gets support, it can settle into the day together.
Big GROK Cards
Cards built for large groups, ages 11+
- For the class that watched a fight go down in the morning and can't focus.
- For the quick warm-ups that build connection.
When important social dynamics get named, reconnection just takes minutes.
Adults need these skills, too...
Most workplace conflict isn't complicated. When people feel unheard and reactive, and lack skillful language for addressing tension, they bring their judgments of each other into the collaboration.
Leaders pay for it in satisfaction scores, missed deadlines, and profitability metrics.
Organizations use GROK for:
- Team culture and trust-building
- Navigating conflict
- Leadership development and coaching
- Staff retreats and professional development
- Restorative conversations after impact
If you're interested in bringing NVC into your organization, we'd love to talk.
