Ling Ling’s Story

My name is Ling Ling Zi and when I became a parent, I did not know how to be a qualified mother and felt very helpless at times. One day, I went to the nearby community center to ask for help. The community centre’s staff recommended me the HIPPY program. She even helped me to make an appointment with the person in charge, Stefania. During our first meeting, Stefania told me about the HIPPY program, its meaning, purpose, a brief history, and the benefits of the participating family, as well as my role as a HIPPY mother. I knew right there that HIPPY was exactly what I had been craving and what my children and I desperately needed! Starting HIPPY two years ago, my parenting learning process started too. First of all, I learned how to read to my children. Talking about the stories made me to understand how they think and I learned what deeply attracts them too. Often it is an easy-to-understand story played out with an interesting game. Playing with my children opened up their inner world to me. The topics of our communication have increased and I am glad they keep increasing.
