At Hoopla, we believe in the power of meaningful partnerships. When we met Happy Day Play, we recognized their mission aligned perfectly with ours, and a partnership was a no-brainer! Happy Day Play's emphasis on family connection resonates deeply with us, and their ability to spread the word about Hoopla in New York is a huge win, given that over two-thirds of our users are in the U.S. We're thrilled to announce a free Family Wellness Party on May 18th for Mental Health Awareness Month. We can't wait to introduce Hoopla live and showcase how our app connects seamlessly with family playtime and other engaging activities. Here's what makes a great partnership for a startup like Hoopla: *Shared Vision* Aligning with a common goal to ensure meaningful outcomes. *Mutual Growth* A partnership should help both parties expand and achieve new milestones. *Clear Communication* Open, honest conversations lay the groundwork for successful collaboration. *Energy & Enthusiasm* Shared enthusiasm and passion for the mission. *Genuine Connection* We take our time with every partnership to build trust through authentic relationships. If there are any people or organizations that Hoopla should partner with DM me! #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #FamilyDay #PartnershipsMatter #Hoopla

Mental wellbeing starts at an early age, and lasts a lifetime. This May, let’s recognize the importance of raising our little ones to be open and comfortable with the discourse surrounding mental health. As parents, educators & caregivers, we hold the incredible opportunity to nurture emotional resilience in children, laying the foundation for a lifetime of wellbeing. #mentalhealthmatters #parenting #emotionalwellbeing

Empower your child with the ultimate confidence booster: affirmations and positive self-talk! Fueling their journey with self-belief, affirmations and positive self-talk offer numerous benefits for children's development, allowing them to feel more capable and empowered to tackle challenges. They instill a growth mindset, teaching children to view setbacks as opportunities for learning and growth rather than failures. Watch as your child transforms setbacks into stepping stones, armed with a growth mindset that turns challenges into triumphs! Positive affirmations can be as simple as using bedtime to tell our little ones "You are strong, you are smart, and you are capable of amazing things!''

Here are 3 compelling reasons why you should be practicing mindfulness with your child: 💡 Boost Emotional Intelligence: Help your little ones navigate their emotions like pros, fostering healthier responses and greater resilience. 💡 Supercharge Focus & Concentration: Regular mindfulness practice strengthens attention and concentration skills in children. 💡 Stronger Parent-Child Connection: Engaging in mindfulness exercises together creates a shared experience that fosters a deeper connection between parent and child. The Hoopla app can be a gamechanger in providing you with a multisensory mindfulness tool at your fingertips🌟 #MindfulParenting #FamilyWellness #Mindfulness #SensoryTools
