I tried many methods to no avail. A friend introduced Hoppity Learning tutoring service. After attending two classes, my daughter quickly stopped fighting with her brother, and her temper was obviously docile. From the first day of class, she has been very self-disciplined for more than two months. I would like to thank my instructor Kristy Wong for this.

I found the class very helpful I found the class very helpful. I discovered from the class that most parents are dealing with similar issues with their children, and so my issues are not unique. and it helped a lot to learn in class how a child grows and matures in his/her capabilities over the years, and thus helps me to set up correct expectations. More importantly, the class offered practical tips in how to be a teacher of my kid, how to deal with the issues and how to improve my communications/relationships with my kid. Thumbs up!

Next good thing to professional help Parenting a strong willed child can truly be tiring. At one point we even considered getting professional help; but our issues are so every-day and common that we couldn't justify the cost. Hoppity Learning is the next good thing available to us!

Influential Health & Wellness Coaching for Kids and Parents! Before taking the sessions about a year ago, my daughter was very unclear about her schedule and did not express her feelings and thoughts often. After taking the sessions to learn the skills on Empathy, Assertiveness, Time Management, Set Goals and Plans, and all other skills, my daughter showed empathy to me during our last ski trip and took the initiative to unload items. In her school, other parents would tell me that my daughter raised her hands often to answer questions. She is confident and assertive. Now, she also knows her schedule and follows her time table well. Despite having daily schedules, she remembers the days for different activities and would double check if she has those activities or not during Spring Break. I would recommend for parents to join the parent-child coaching. It takes time and practice to see the change, but certainly the change will happen!

Now I know what real playtime means to my kids... I joined a 7-week group session with other families. It was informational and helpful. Ms. Mon was professional and experienced at Play Therapy. In the group session, she talked about the benefits and practical tips of special playtime with the kids. She also shared her personal experiences. I understand my kids' thoughts and feeling more through practicing the communication skills Ms. Mon shared. The kids are happy to have the kid-centered special playtime. Now I know what real playtime means. Listening to how other families in the group practiced the "homework" and their challenges each week is one of the benefits of joining a group session, though I wish the group member sharing and discussion time could be longer. Hoppitylearning also offers private sessions. I didn't take them yet but I think it is a very good idea.
