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.

GBI 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!

GBGentle 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.

GBInfluential 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!

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.
