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. (philstar.com: Doctors oppose Milk Code amendments) The said Milk Code amendments is not yet been approved yet I wonder how could they think of it, se...

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. I always stress out the involvement of the parents on this meaningful goal for our kids. As we aim for their betterment, it should also be us to take the necessary steps for making it possible. The sense of touch is said to be vital on infants and initiates their sociability. Through holding them we give them warmth. Unconsciously, they found protection on us. Some gentle rubs and touch and they knew they are loved. They are not able to talk but we can communicate to them through it. So that means a lot to them. Later on their development, when they were able to see things on their surroundings, they would then appreciate things through feeling it. They are then on their own exploration. See them wanting to grasp a toy, tapping things on their reach, playing their own fingers and mashing their fo...

Raising smart child is a tough but challenging job for parents. I'ts like planting vines on a wide vacant plot. 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. Genes takes the most credit of it all as it carries the heredetary aspects of human that makes smart characteristics bearable by the next generations of his blood. There were parents who always wanted their children to be an excellent one. But "excellent" sounds too much that they would rather call it "smart". It was the...

My son is 19 months old now and he already knows the alphabet. 3 months ago, I made a post. about the milestone, Lenard Roi has reached and he is 16 months by then. I mentioned about how he came up to that ability at his young age. Read this to know the story. I try to find more ways to enhance what he already knows for now. It's like having added appetite to guide him more to see how he may get further. My husband and I, as well as the people who got to see our son showing what he had learned were so much delighted. And that was something great for a first time mom like me. Simply knowing that my efforts has been successfull is truly overwhelming. I take notes of every details and events that Iam working now to have furnish after every parents out there who might be hoping to get the same joy Iam having right now through sharing this one.

Today is Leroi's 19th month . Im so proud that he had reached this milestone actively and in good health throughout the months. I really wish and pray that he continues to have a life well deserve for him with God's upon him all the time. There is no such joy that Iam having right now as I see my son this loveable and smart. I've prayed so much for a child of my wish and God has been greatfull for blessing me with this wonderful gift. I know there were times that I forget to just say thank you to Him for even just the smallest thing He gave me, Iam not that religious either, but in my heart, there is always my deep acknowledgement to God . I always said that Iam this kind of mother that I ever wanted to be. I'm not so fortunate to have all the good things in life and just like everyone, there were also some trials that takes test on my well being but Iam still thankfull that Iam alive with purposes which I think is to be a better person for myself and for the others...

There are many things that can break a heart, Rejections and failures even just on your start, Sorrows and grieving, marks of wars, As well as the pain, of saying goodbye. A heartfelt confession of a battered wife, The weep of a woman who lost her son; The bitterness made of being left behind.. Such longing for love that they are deprived. Those cries in the silence, where no one is in sight; Where only the prayers were uttered in sigh.. Tears flowing and hopeless mind, Pleads for salvation from her sorrowful life. All these, you know is a view of a MOTHER , Their other side We might not even get to bother. The heart in full sore they don't just want us to feel, For the sight of her sad child is the the last thing they would ever wanted to see. In our young mind, we might question this.. Why would they have to keep just it; Why don't they just fight like heroes on their leagues? Why? Because they are MOTHERS and they just know what is BEST . In the most ugly times, we'll j...
