About Mightier

Mightier is a child-centered, evidence-based, digital program that uses biometric feedback from a heart sensor so children learn, practice and apply lifelong coping skills through game-based play. With both online and offline activities, Mightier supports the development of the whole child so that kids can live healthier, happier lives. Developed at Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Mightier is clinically proven to help kids ages 6 to 14 prepare for life's big emotions. To date, more than 2.5 million games have been played on the Mightier app by more than 100,000 kids. While kids play games the heart sensor allows them to visualize their emotions in real time. As they become overexcited, frustrated, or stressed, they learn strategies to calm down and regulate their emotions. By practicing strategies in the game, they build a toolbox of coping strategies to use in real life. Mightier’s Parent App provides insights into their child's progress and includes articles and resources to support their child's development. Offline activities such as conversation cards, puzzles, etc. further supplement skills to create a holistic emotional regulation program for families.

The program is great The program is great. Well thought out, engaging, and effective for teaching kids emotional regulation. The only issue we had with it was that we felt like the screen time was just too much for our kids- but it’s one of the very best options for productive screen time!

Positive Change - for all my kids This program has been great for my son. He was diagnosed with Rumination Syndrome with is rare and there are not a lot of treatments. Our MD suggested biofeedback which the insurance will not cover for rumination syndrome due to the limited about of research on the syndrome. My son started it and he has been able to handle his stress levels and his anxiety much better. We have noticed that his rumination has decreased. We liked it so much that we have his siblings "playing" the games as well. They let you have five people on the program so it is great to be able to allows the rest of the family to practice calming techniques. I have recommended this program so everyone that will listen. I have even provided feedback to his PCP and Social Worker for rumination as a wonderful at home assist for anxiety and stress in kids. I wish they has this when I was a kid.

Win win We spent October through December using Mightier to help cope with frustration and the biofeedback was just what we needed. I knew when my son had his fill when getting Lavalings became easy while still playing no matter how challenging the games got. "Lavalings" became a household word and eventually my boy did figure out the therapeutic element to the gaming. A fun intro for our family to gaming. Seeing the benefit of retreating into playing as well as setting limits and good communication. Win win all around.

Very helpful This was great for our 7yr old son who often would get frustrated easily and have outbursts. He would always get frustrated and more angry if I told him to breathe. This helped him learn to do that ina fun way. We subscribed for 1 yr and after that decided to pause on it. He has been better and sometimes when he's frustrated I see him go off alone into a different room and then come back calm. I'm sure part of it was just him growing up, but I do think mightier helped as well. He is not diagnosed with anything specific, just a regular kid getting angry. They do charge you again automatically for the following year, so be on top of that . Their support is super helpful and friendly for anything needed.

Technology seems cool, but just a clunky games tablet Tablet and parent portal are both difficult and frustrating to use. Game instructions are unclear, and games are often frustrating to play. After several weeks my child has only been playing games and not gotten any skills or feedback about how to use her heart rate lowering practice in real life.
