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.

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.

GBPositive 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.

GBThe computer crashes 9 times out of 10 The computer crashes 9 times out of 10, and causes a lot of frustration to our kids by not working properly. It seems very cheaply made. The charger for the armband also doesn't work reliably (even though we've been sent a replacement, that one doesn't work well either).

GBThey 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.
