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.

Life is about growing with our people… Life is about growing with our people in our lives. Hoppity has allowed our family to explore Social and Emotional learning past the cultural lens of what you ought to be versus what you can be. My daughter has learned valuable lessons to improve her posture of feelings, emotions, & discovering tools to self advocate her growth to being herself while loving & caring for others. Try a session or two with amazing staff to learn about yourself and your kids to improve communication and ways to know each other to thrive!

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.

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.

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.
