Raising children in today’s world is quite a daunting task. We want to raise our children to be a certain way and to have certain values, while the world around them applies constant pressure in the opposite direction. Don’t let this discourage you though. There are ways to successfully raise children of integrity in this pressure cooker of a world. You’re not alone, and you can do it! And I realise that what works for one child doesn’t always work with other children.
It was nice eye opener to attend the Parentology+: The Reshape effect Forum of Nestle Nankid last January 15, 2019 at WhiteSpace Makati. The Forum hosted by Philippine primer talk show host Boy Abunda.

Nestlè Nankid utilizes expertise with advocacy, to help Reshape the future for the next generation with Parentology.
What is Parentology?? Parentology raising kids — involves three skills: knowing how to read a scientific study; second, experimenting on your kids by deploying such research; and third, involving your kids in the process, both by talking to them about the results and by revising your hypotheses when necessary.

Dr Josephine Sunga MD, FPPS, MSc, pediatrician and epidemiologist who champions nutrition as a key ingredient towards children’s optimal development through her research.
Nutrition is one of the factors that impact a child’s development shared by Dra Josephine Sunga.
We have to keep our children healthy and with that we have to ensure that they get the nutrition they need from the food that we are providing for them, as she highlighted that this is a very important and critical part of a child’s development. “If they are not eating the right foods, they are not going to function right.
We want our children to be physically healthy, and with this we find that it will enhance our children’s productivity,” she said.
Progressive Learning was discussed by Didi Manahan ,MSED and co founder of Keys School Manila.
Ms. Jean Espino, Vice President for Marketing, Nestlè Premium Milks Said ” Nestlè understands that children and their parents face a complex reality, which is why parents should have tools that will help them pave the way toward their children’s optimal growth and development.

Parents and Guests of the forum were also able to participate in Activities that allowed us to learn practical tips and lessons on how we can nurture an optimal growth mindset within ourselves and our families, thereby creating an environment that will nurture our children minds and hearts.
Some Activities were ” Reshaping Your Language ” where participants learned that adults have the power over how our language an affect kids.
Whatever you SAY may impact or influence your child. If not perfect, at least strive to be the best version of yourself because your child is looking up to you for inspiration. Your words should be well thought of, whenever you are dealing with your children.
If you haven’t thought of becoming a role model for your child, start now. You can always try in making a genuine attempt for raising a responsible and confident child.
