I am amazed how this device actually helped my son (age 8) calm him self down. I have tried every sensory toy and gimmick out there. Spent thousands at OT. He knows all the techniques and and what he “should” do, but the impulse control was so out of control that he could never implement any technique. Knowing my son, I knew I wasn’t going to see any results on just 1 or 2 months so we signed up for a 6mos package. I made sure he played at least 15min a day every day. Sure enough around 5.5 months I caught him doing the deep breathing exercises just as he was about to go “off” on us in a meltdown. The Mightier helped him build body awareness of what his body feels like in the “red zone” and how to recover quite quickly. It has truly become muscle memory for him. After 6 mos it was quite hard to get him to use the tablet (he is demand avoidant and routines are hard for him) so I decided to cancel our subscription. I also know he sometimes needs a break to reset. I noticed a decline around month 8 since he started looking to other screen. He noticed the decline too and asked to start using the Mightier again as he liked how his body was feeling when he practiced more often as I think we quit before he completely solidified the technique. I was able to easily resubscribe again with just a click. My son takes the initiative to practice his game time on the Mightier. Overall very happy. Best value and results for the money compared to all the other therapies and tools I have spent on him.

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
