Wonderful experience, highly recommended!
I am a parent whose children already receive SEL classes at school. I also attend conferences, webinars and watch videos on parenting, child development, etc. As a result, when I first heard of Hoppity through a webinar, I was a bit skeptical at first that they may be able to teach me anything new. After seeing a trial offer, I decided that it wouldn't hurt to try it out, and I was pleasantly surprised and thrilled with the results. I realized that it is one thing to read an article/book or listen to a presentation/lecture about SEL, and it's a completely different experience to actually practice it with customized and personal guidance. It was also incredibly effective to have my son learn from another loving and caring adult, other than his parents, on ways to identify and share his feelings. In addition, Hoppity coaches were paramount to helping us build that pathway for him to be able to come to us with his feelings and thoughts. So many times before, prior to these coaching sessions, when I asked him about his day at school, how he was doing or feeling, he would just shrug and say "Good." or "I dunno." However, there was nothing deeper or personal beyond that short superficial response. Even with all the book knowledge that I had acquired from other resources, it didn't help that much when my child was unable/unwilling to express/share how he truly felt or what was on his mind. We are only 5 weeks into these sessions so far, but we're amazed at the results already. We do our "homework" weekly and it's been great to put everything in practice. I feel more empowered after every session to be on my way to be an effective SEL coach for my child, especially with an anticipated transition to a new school. Our relationship has been really great and I've also become more patient with him.
