This app was VERY helpful in teaching my son coping skills for overcoming his anxiety and getting him to actually use the skills in real life. My son’s anxiety and ADHD related behavior was so overwhelming that it was keeping him from going to school regularly from 2nd grade to 5th grade. I and two different counselors had tried to teach him skills to use but in the heat of the moment the skills went out the window. What was different and actually helped was using the Mightier app because it allowed him to use the skills in a low stakes gamified situation and build up his muscle memory. One day he told me about a situation he had at school where he used the skills and he realized that it worked so he could help himself self regulate. I think Mightier was very effective at helping him gain the ability to regulate his emotions even in stressful situations, after 6months of using the app he now no longer needs it. I also had very, very good customer service from the employees I interacted with. I live in Fiji and they were great in helping me work through the logistics of getting the tablet & accessories. I would highly recommend 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.See more
