GBWe love Mightier! We love Mightier! My 7 year old son struggles with impulse control and his anger. I can definitely see a difference in his response when he is frustrated or mad. We have taught him for years to try and breath through his anger but he would always get more mad in the moment when we told him that. After he started playing Mightier it finally clicked, I saw him using breath to calm himself without cues from us.

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.

GBMightier 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)

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.

GBHighly Recommend We signed up for Mightier to help support emotional regulation goals for our kiddos. They both love the games and absolutely experienced growth and awareness around regulation. Highly recommend!
