Mightier 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)

My 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!

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.

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.

Very 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.
