b'In today\\u2019s episode, I have a conversation with Dr. Jason Kahn, PhD.\\xa0Jason, as he prefers to be called, is a developmental psychologist and co-creator of Mightier. Mightier is a program I\\u2019ve talked about quite a bit because it uses video games to help kids learn to emotionally self-regulate. That means fewer emotional outbursts or meltdowns, and a reduction of parental stress.\\nJason talks about how Mightier is empowering kids and parents to better manage life on COVID19 lockdown. Lockdown is disruptive for everyone but it\\u2019s especially distressing for kids, which is one reason we see an uptick in meltdowns or outbursts right now.\\nMightier is absolutely amazing and works for pretty much anyone. We talk about the science behind is and why it works so well.\\xa0If your child is struggling with meltdowns or emotional outbursts, PLEASE listen and check out Mightier.
