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!

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.

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.

GBVery helpful This was great for our 7yr old son who often would get frustrated easily and have outbursts. He would always get frustrated and more angry if I told him to breathe. This helped him learn to do that ina fun way. We subscribed for 1 yr and after that decided to pause on it. He has been better and sometimes when he's frustrated I see him go off alone into a different room and then come back calm. I'm sure part of it was just him growing up, but I do think mightier helped as well. He is not diagnosed with anything specific, just a regular kid getting angry. They do charge you again automatically for the following year, so be on top of that . Their support is super helpful and friendly for anything needed.

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!
