We had a fantastic time presenting with @Kahoot, @SocialCipher, and @LEGOfoundation at @SXSWEDU. Inclusive Design and Learning Through Play are topics we're all excited and passionate about!
Where’s the line between your child’s mental health and your own? The reality - there isn’t one. 77% of parents are often or sometimes thinking about their child’s mental health.*
We feel lucky to meet and support these families and to offer an accessible way for the entire family to build emotional strength right at home. Hear real stories from real Mightier families here. mightier.com/families/
Parents often feel stuck in a system that isn’t working for them. These parents are strong advocates for their children, but that doesn’t make them immune to stress or frustration.
At Mightier we see what “thinking about a child’s mental health” looks like. Parents are worried about their child’s behavior, their future, and how society perceives them. Parents get frustrated with themselves, question their abilities, and feel lost and alone.
Emotional regulation is a lifelong skill that takes practice - lots of practice. For children with ADHD or autism, it can be extra challenging. Thankfully, there are evidence-based strategies to help children who struggle to regulate their emotions.

All too often, children with #ADHD are told to just 'try harder' to focus. Without proper knowledge of ADHD, including symptoms, behaviors, and strategies, too many children do not receive the support they need.

Today’s Mightier woman is @TempleGrandin! She is a world-renowned animal behaviorist and autism activist! Mightier admires Temple Grandin for her work highlighting how people (and animals) all have unique minds and think differently!
Helping ensure a child understands their mental health treatment plan can be critical to their success. This dialogue helps the child understand the importance of consistency in the plan.

Learning to control your emotions helps you take your best shot. With Mightier, we help kids practice coping strategies through gameplay. Because, just like in sports, practice makes permanent. #marchmadness
“But why, she wondered, were his teachers only focused on her son’s behavior if his trouble reading was causing his distress?”
A child's social and emotional well-being can not be separated from their ability to learn and their academic performance.

Learning difficulties impact emotional state and self-esteem, and emotional state and self-regulation abilities impact learning. It's all connected.

On the last day of The @Riveters season, we want to shout out all of the players for being inspirational role models to kids.
