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

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!

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.

We 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.
