GBPositive 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

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.

GBNext good thing to professional help Parenting a strong willed child can truly be tiring. At one point we even considered getting professional help; but our issues are so every-day and common that we couldn't justify the cost. Hoppity Learning is the next good thing available to us!

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.

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!
