GBExcellent My daughter is 9, has taken Hoppity for a while now. She loves the coach and the class! Highly recommend children to take it since school doesn’t really educate much about how to identify different emotions and manage them. My daughter has improved so much since she first took Hoppity. Recently we just had a parent-teacher conference at her school, the teacher speaks highly on my daughter’s social behaviors, she is able to speak up when she’s not being treated right, and there are many other examples. From teacher’s words, I believe Hoppity has been very helpful for my daughter. We all have so much stress in life, if we get to teach kids on how to cope with their emotions, I truly believe it’s the way to make them survive and success under the stressful environment and life.

GBWe have seen gradual improvement in our… We have seen gradual improvement in our relationship. We have been joining the course past 6 months. My wife and I were wondering why our daughter was constantly throwing tantrums toward us and refusing any interaction with me, but after reading out the affirmation list she seemed to dissolve a little. At night before bed our daughter told my wife that she loves being praised. Later I found out I did't give her enough affirmation after she has done something right, especially when I use high pitch when she did wrong and compare with normal voice when she did great. After the session I praised her a lot more with a louder voice and she seems pretty calm ever since. Thank you Miss Candy for the lesson of affirmation. Hoppity Learning also opens for feedback on every session, and willing to accommodate our ever changing schedule. Thank you for your help.

CAThank you to all the coaches at Hoppity… Thank you to all the coaches at Hoppity Learning for your passion in helping kids and families to make transformations in their social emotional experience. My son has been doing coaching sessions with Hoppity Learning since two years ago. His most recent topics include Managing Disappointment and Friendship. He has been able to use the things that he learnt from Hoppity to manage his appointments in his daily life, such as being able to identify the level of his disappointments and choosing his own methods to cope with them. He has also been through a lot at school dealing with people teasing at him which made his school life not as enjoyable. I am so glad that the coaches are such good active listeners to hear my son's sharing. That has already made an impact on his ability to share with emotions more readily and comfortably. He is willing to let go of his bad experience at school and has moved on to focus on the positive things such as making new friends and knowing what to do if conflicts arise.

AUForrest does his homework obviously faster, and he can even finish his homework at school. Now we are in the stage of building self- confidence. Forrest realizes his advantages with the help of Candy in the class. He was relatively passive about his homework, and in the next few days, I encouraged him to follow the advantages he realized in class - to be good at solving problems, to face his homework, and to experiment how to finish the homework quickly. These days, Forrest does his homework obviously faster, and he can even finish his homework at school. We celebrate in time. That also gives him encouragement.

GBNow 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.
