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.

GBReturn 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.

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.

GBThis organization is spot on in efficiency and awesome customer support! My daughter did well in using the tablet and games. She would choose it when she needed alone time and the feeling of calm. The would even replace her fun games with 30 min on it. The Mightier product, games, and free hardware with the option to donate, have been an integral part of my daughter’s mental health stability. She uses her newly practiced tools during school and times of panic.

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!
