Excellent 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.

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.

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!

Forrest 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.

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
