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.

Positive Changes One thing we had been struggling with our son was how long it took him to finish his dinner, sometimes up to an hour… My son and I had recently finished the “Time Management” topic with Ms Heidi from Hoppity Learning. Through examples and discussions, we set a schedule and expectations of how long each task should take. For meal times, he tried his best and was able to follow his schedule to finish dinner fast (During the session, he let us know that he needed 45 mins, but he ended up finishing eating within 30 mins two weeks in a row!). We are extremely proud of our son who shares his thoughts with us, expresses his needs, and becomes self-motivated to follow his schedule. - Joanne and Jacky or J. Wan's family

After taking three sessions on empathy After taking three sessions on empathy, my son had a deeper understanding of my frustrated feeling and teacher's frustration when he did not listen to us. We did not ask him to change at all. He initiated to show his caring action by listening to us. Of course, he can always ask us for the reason or have a calm conversation with us to find a solution. My son also saw that his relationship with me had significantly improved, which went from not being happy with us a few days a week to being happy with us EVERY DAY at the end of the month. Thanks for the class.

Gentle and impactful coaching for clarity and self-care Indeed my coach Candy is gifted and has been a gift to me. As I enter the empty nest stage, there are some undefined paths and yet to be fulfilled dreams. The “Life Purpose Exercise” is fun and revealing. Candy guided me through the complexity of aspects and details covered in the wellbeing assessments to identify main areas to work on for better self care. With the SMART goals, I got to overcome the reluctance to start some new habits by taking small steps. After experiencing simplicity and calmness during the mindfulness exercises, now I have some quiet time almost everyday. Thank you Candy for your passion and your profession of whole person growth.
