The deck of cards included in your Mightier kit is a set of conversation cards. Use these cards to spark conversation with your child about emotions. Your family can take turns asking and answering questions, completing challenges, and discovering new coping skills. These cards are both silly and serious, letting the whole family explore emotions in an experiential, playful way. To encourage sharing, listen intently to children's answers, validate their experiences, and ask them to share more. Your participation helps model emotional awareness and acceptance for children.
Mightier Conversation Cards put a playful twist on social-emotional learning. Developed by psychologists and clinical social workers trained at Harvard Medical School teaching hospitals, Mightier Conversation Cards are grounded in evidence-based techniques. They put play, experiential learning, and relationship-building at the heart of every moment.
A Note from Mightier Clinicians: Talking about difficult emotions and practicing calming strategies is one way to help children develop emotional regulation skills and improve their overall emotional well-being. Learn more about how Mightier Games help children build emotional strength here.
