Mightier is a great idea. There are some good concepts that our daughter has learned, but the tablet has been a lot more difficult to work with than we had hoped given how expensive the program is to purchase. The tablet is very glitchy and often take multiple tries (turning off or restarting) to get the program to load. We even were sent a replacement tablet, but the second one struggles as much as the original. Our daughter is visually impaired and struggles with how small the font is for many of the games. She is also not very "tech savvy" so it requires a lot of one-on-one to help her navigate new games or even to figure out what the object of the game is. We had also thought that it would automatically move her through learning the different strategies to manager her anger, but her older brother has had to help us figure out how to navigate that process. Finally, it has been disappointing that the system does not have a built in timer. For a child who struggles with regulating her emotions, the whole learning process is undone when she is told (either verbally or when an external timer goes off) that she needs to finish up and then she has a major meltdown at the end of the session. We have been using the system for almost 4 months now and have seen little, if any, improvement in her ability to regulate her emotions.

Tablet and parent portal are both difficult and frustrating to use. Game instructions are unclear, and games are often frustrating to play. After several weeks my child has only been playing games and not gotten any skills or feedback about how to use her heart rate lowering practice in real life.
