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.

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 was truly the product that…gave my son control Mightier was truly the product that caused a turning point with our little one. Before using it, he struggled with emotions and couldn't control his temper. After a year of use, he has so much control and is able to manage his emotions so well. He is doing so much better in school and his friendships are flourishing.

Less meltdowns and more joy We used mightier with our 9 year old, and it has made a big difference to self regulation. Her outbursts/meltdowns aren't as long or as intense now, as she has had practice breathing through it during play with mightier. Highly recommend this! It's bought more joy to our house!

Our 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.

Great customer service Great customer service! The biofeedback has definitely helped our two children (8 & 12). We frequently see them pause now, when frustrated or stressed, take a deep breath and then de-escalate. This has been very helpful for reinforcing cognitive behaviors they have been coached to do to minimize outbursts, catch impulses and lower anxiety. Highly recommend. Full disclosure: Prior to Mightier neither of our children played any video games, and they think these games are very fun. Perhaps children with more exposure to video games might find them less appealing, but our kids love the selection and have not gotten bored.
