Empowering my kids through a Summer of Mightier

COVID had taken its toll on pretty much everyone and my family is no exception. One of the things that I want to do is spend the summer, helping my kids to get back to some semblance of normalcy.

Mightier Starter Program Giveaway $129.00 Value (Teaching Kids with #Autism to Self-Regulate Through Gaming)

Last week I posted a full review of Mightier. This is a program that helps kids learn to self-regulate and it does so through video games. While this works for any kid, my interest lies in the benefits for kids with Autism. Mightier was developed and tested at Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School to give kids a safe place to practice emotional regulation, develop coping skills, and build emotional muscle memory they need to help respond to life’s challenges. I absolutely love The Mightier and I'm so excited to be able to give away the starter package to one of my readers. The image below shows you exactly what the winner will receive at no cost.
