There was a breaking news about Milk Code Amendments here in the Philippines that for me as a breastfeeding mother is really worth opposing. “The consolidated bill on breastfeeding which is being contested would narrow down the application of the Milk Code only to artificial feeding products for the age group of 0 to 6 months instead of the current 0 to 36 months; lift all restrictions on donations of breast milk substitutes at the time of emergencies; make lactation breaks for breastfeeding mothers in the workplace unpaid; allow distribution of samples of breast milk substitutes in the health care system and allow milk formula companies to conduct and be involved in the promotion, education and production of educational activities and materials related to breastfeeding and infant and young child feeding,” said The Medical City Doctors.

I gave credit to visual stimulation as one of the good start to raising a smart child in my previous post. Now let us discuss how the sense of touch take its part on raising a smart child.

The little vine sprouts were the children and parents were that posts beside each vines where it would use to climb straight up in later time. Sounds the same as with raising a child in the basic manner yet those for raising smart child is different. People were amazed by a smart kid and always wanting their own child to be like one. I've never heard somebody or if there were some but maybe rare who says they never wanted a smart child of thier own. Being smart is like an achievement that certifies self-worth and innate power.
