PERSONAL NARRATIVES, MOMMY TIPS, AND THRILLING DISCOVERIES TO MAKE DAILY LIFE THE HAPPIEST

MOMI LEARNS| Parentology+ and parents as informed advocates

You are not raising a son, but someone's husband, and somebody's father. Raise him well then.

That was what I realized two years ago when I started to have problems with my Second son.  I would want to blame the peer he got at his new school as the bad influence.  Or perhaps those acolytes he spent time with every meeting and church service.

Do not get me wrong.  My Second son is kindhearted.  He puts great efforts in his studies.  He is courteous.  It is just that he can be more susceptible to peer pressure.  Among my boys, he can be the most aggressive to try new things.  He is also the most independent to the point that he is more likely to experiment.  Sometimes, his acts would make my heart beat harder and faster.

I must admit.  There was a time I would want to give up.  Or I already gave up.  But then, I’ve realized that I am a parent and I have the power to bring my kids’ future forward.    The same way that I can reshape my Second son’s future.

Very timely that last Saturday, I attended the launch of Parentology+.   This is an advocacy of Nestle NANKID to help parents take charge of their kids’ future through simple steps that can be taken right at home.  During its launch, Parentology+ recreates a typical home and its rooms.  There are three stations touching on important topics:  Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Socialization.

To better explain each topic, there are featured parents who are influencers in their own fields, too, stationed in each room.  Blogger Stephanie Zubiri-Crespi and Nestle Nutritionist Aleli Magtibay gave insights on diet and nutrition.  Football player Anton del Rosario shared how he got his son loves sports and embraces an active lifestyle.  Lastly, on the socialization station, entrepreneur and stylist Cat Arambulo-Antonio shared how she helped her kids learn to socialize and boost their confidence.

I appreciate this kind of event.  Not because I am a parent.  But because of the messages it would like to impart.  That despite all the challenges, parents still possess the power to reshape the future of their youngsters.  I also salute the celebrity parents present – who are also NANKID brand ambassadors – because, despite their high-profile status, they remain to be parents to their children.  I learned from them and from the event that:

  • The parent’s influence greatly affects a youngster’s decision for his future.  This especially holds true when Stephanie and Ms. Aleli showed how they were able to include vegetables in the everyday meal of the kids, thus reassuring them their children will eat veggies even if they are not around.
  • The youth’s resilience to upcoming challenges depends on the level of support their parents give especially during their childhood years.  I specifically realized this when Anton showed how he was able to make excitement as leverage for his son to love sports and friendly competition.
  • For the children to reach their full potential, they need their parents as informed advocates.  I realized this when NAN stressed that parents can do much about their children’s future.  With commitment, knowledge, and support, they can build a better future for their kids.

I went home that day fully equipped with new knowledge about reshaping my kids’ future.  I am confident that with the added knowledge, I am in a better position to talk to my Second son and together resolve some pressing issues.

    I like that quote about raising someones husband or father. I think more parents should think like this.

    Sayang, I missed this! I’m a mom of three, but always willing to learn more about raising kids. Being a parent is tough work and I feel like you have to constantly learn to keep up with the changing dynamics as the kids grow older.

    Thanks Berlin for sharing this. I admit, as a first time mom, there is always something new for me to learn about parenting every single day. In fact, I sometimes get insecure when I see others nailing motherhood. I guess one day, when I’ve finally aligned my mind, heart and soul, I could be a better parent… a better mom to my son! I love their advocacy and I believe that brands should really shift to this kind of “giving back” to their consumers.

    I hope that you do resolve your issues with your son. Teen years is really a very challenging time for parents, I think, because this is the season when the child is discovering himself and craving for his individuality. I’m currently reading this book called The Power of a Praying Parent, have you read it? I’ve read it once before but going through it again. It has a lot of things in there that I never realized to pray about. For instance, praying for my sons’ future spouses this early on. 🙂 Perhaps it will help you, too.

    Great campaign by Nan. We, parents really need all the trainings, workshops and guidance we can get. Raising a child is not really an easy job and we indeed need a village to guide them 🙂

    We moms shouldn’t give up. We just have to take a few steps back then walk with our kids again, I can’t believe that our children are growing up so fast. We’re very fortunate to have programs like this now I’m wondering the parents way before our millenial era. How did they do it?

    I can relate to ‘giving up’ part. I am also having problem with my son and it’s becoming a burden. Then I realized, I can never give up and let him continue those unacceptable ways. So I tried to evaluate the situation and implies different approach on reminding him what to do. I am now slowly changing my ways, struggling and trying to be calm.

I love to cook for my family. Special occasion or not, this mother always aims that her boys enjoy mealtime.  And so this coming Christmas, nothing beats the classics like serving our favorite BUKO PANDAN. It's that perfect decadent treat to end our meal on a high note.  Of course, we only use Nestlé All-Purpose Cream, our perfect cooking partner to create only the creamiest buko pandan. .

We have no plans of stopping anytime soonest, unless our two young ones decided to do so.  Our milk has been their primary source of  nutrition when they were still babies.  Now, it continues to help protect our sons against infection and disease.  The calcium and iron in our milk are also more easily absorbed by our two children, giving them the added nutrients they need.  And we are just so grateful that we have a partner in  @vpharmaph for all the MEGA-MALUNGGAY we had and continuously take. More than the healthy dose of natural vitamins like calcium, iron, potassium, and vitamin C we get from each capsule, Mega-Malunggay is proven to be a great galactagogue for lactating moms like me. .

So happy to be part of #VpharmaBrandAmbassadors2020. Excited what 2020 will bring, but we see more breastfeeding still. We also look forward to exploring #VpharmapH 's other quality products.  And we hope you are as excited as we are for 2020.
