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.

Thank 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.

A God fearing counselor to our issues With the Covid in much of 2020, our kids were basically learning remotely from home on ipads. Friendships and social interactions went to the minimum and essentially replacing with electronic entertainments. Purple tier in our county put extra strain onto our family when the stay at home order is in effect. With much prayers, we came across HoppityLearning. Through the sessions, I as a parent learned the most. How critical it is to be attentive and listening to the kids’ expressions, Forcing what we think being the best might not be the most effective way of raising a stand up kid. I’m really grateful for the many interactive sessions. Highly recommended if one were to seek helps on issues with young kids.

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!

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
