GBTechnology 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.

GBVery 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.

GBMy son was intrigued from the start and… My son was intrigued from the start and was able to quickly understand the concept. I noticed even on the first day how successful he was a bringing his heart rate down with breathing. Thank you Mightier for helping my son is such a quick turnaround timeframe!

GBGood for Cognitive Understanding My children (7, 9, and 11) all enjoyed playing the mightier games. They were also able to learn about how their body and heart rate responds to their feelings as well as various cool down techniques. I have not seen this cognitive knowledge transfer to behavior in other circumstances. We still have many outbursts and intense reactions in our home. However, this knowledge about their heart rate and the visual meter that they use in the games have given us a vocabulary and mental model that allows us to discuss what is happening in their bodies and how it affects their behavior. I think this is a good first step. Hopefully eventually with time and practice they will actually be able to apply this cognitive understanding.

LUOur 6 year old son LOVES Mightier Our 6 year old son LOVES Mightier; always asks to play it. And we have noticed a real difference in his ability to self-regulate through the game.
