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!

GBThe 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!

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.

GBMightier brought positive and effective change Mightier brought positive and effective change to our kids and family. We sought Mightier because one of our kids was diagnosed with borderline ADHD, but he was still young and we were not ready to try medicine. We felt that he still had some development work to do and we could change our behaviors as a family to support him better before we ask him to change to us. Mightier became a tool within that plan. He loves video games and we didn't allow a lot of screen time prior to this, so Mightier felt like a huge treat. The excellent graphics, games, and encouragement with in-app rewards kept them excited for the program. The breathing and calming exercises brought awareness to our kids about their own body, and that overflowed into daily life. 6 months later, our son's signs of ADHD have significantly reduced and affect him less in school and at home. We believe Mightier helped us give him time to develop and evaluate his needs more, because we provided him tools to understand his body better.

GBWin 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.
