How is this deck different from the Coping Cue Cards Discovery Deck?

Think of the Coping Cards for Teens deck as a teen version of the Discovery Deck. Just like the Discovery Deck, each card has a different strategy a teen could try. However, instead of cute illustrations and characters, which seem too juvenile for teens, the Coping Cards for Teens deck uses simple yet appealing graphics that highlight each strategy. While both decks are color-coded, the Coping Cards for Teens deck features more muted colors, suitable for teens. This deck is designed to be much more engaging to a tween and teen audience.
