Return policy and guidelines were… Return policy and guidelines were unclear. The only follow emails I recall seeing were those asking for positive reviews. If progress emails were sent (with zero data because, as other reviews have mentioned, the games we archaic and not user friendly) why would the company keep charging the recurring payments? I mean, there's a deliberate connection to the internet and usage, or lack thereof, could be seen. Tonight I discovered 3 $40 monthly recurring charges (and another about to be charged) for something that sits in a box. I question that this company has a family's well-being truly in mind.

They charge your credit card without authorization Be aware, they will make charges to your account without previous notice! They charge me over $300 with absolutely no previous notice! When I contacted them they said if you don't contact them by the end of the year, they will charge you for the full amount, like purchasing another year, bear in mind I didn't subscribed to anything, it was clearly a one time purchase and their policy is: if you don't tell us you don't want to purchase again, we assume you want it. They never gave me my money back, I feel scammed.

Good 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.

Mightier would be better if it weren't a video game experience MIghtier is a video game interface. My child's emotional regulation - as many studies are proving today - is made worse by video games and screens. 2 days using this app and he was getting up early demanding to play the games using this app. I was shocked to see this is how they chose to execute what seems to be a great concept - ie using Sports video games vs a less addicting and more "soothing" content even when trying to elicit a HR response. Not for us, we binned it as it made tantrums worse (at least in initial use)

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.
