The duty of guaranteeing that a child is carried upon a healthy environment and gets the right education and nutrition lies on the parent’s shoulders but with the advanced technology and extreme change in our lifestyle, as a single mom I struggle with ensuring my son’s health, nutrition and his readiness to face whatever the future brings.  I always make sure he eats right, healthy and less sugar or junk food because I fear that he might become obese or have social difficulties. I also worry that maybe one day he’ll have attention problems or a learning deficiency, which are common to kids who grow up in an unhealthy environment and with less consumption of right nutrition.

Will it be possible for the parents to ensure their kids’ future despite the overwhelming challenges? With consistency, patience, dedication, guidance and full support from the parents, the experts and parents’ reliable partners like NANKID who produced Parentology+, I can say that it is possible.

Parentology+, powered by NANKID, makes sure that we, parents are equipped with tips that will help reshape our kids’ future. While there are many ways to bring up our children, few basic parenting skills go a long way in ensuring their bright future.

Be a good example to your kids. We are the only ones whom our children will look up to and as their role model, let us act how we want them to be when they grow up. Let us be someone they can be proud of and they can call their “Idol”. As their parents and a role model, we should treat our children how you want them to treat and to be treated by others – with respect, love and compassion.

Parents, be there for your kids and never make them feel bad among themselves. Talking to our kids and spending time with them is the best thing to do, especially in their young ages. It helps develop their comfort ability and social lifestyle. Bonding is a must between a parent and a child for it makes the child feel loved and cared for. Parents, our kids needs attention. Let go of your phones and other gadgets. Do things together. It strengthens the parent-child relationship.

Build a make-believe world because it encourages our kids to do something they want but doesn’t have the confidence to do so. That’s what I do because I learned that my son absorbs his mistakes and he understands what he should do next to make it right or better than before.

Often times children’s make-believes come from something invisible in our eyes. Make-believe is what we also call “imagination”, imagination that is constructed by their daydream and playtime. By giving them more play time and encouraging our kids to be more active in several activities, we’re letting our kids have a better physical health and build their own muscle memory which are beneficial to their physical development and lifestyle.

Preparing our kids to face the challenges that the future will bring is tough and terrifying. Knowing that our kids need at least 3,000 calories a day to endure their healthy bodies and to be certain that their minds and bodies are future ready, we’ll need a solid support that we can get (and learn) from Parentology+, powered by NANKID.

In my own experience, Azi’s appetite gained after drinking NANKID. He drank less milk and ate more solid foods. His energy boosted and he’s more mindful of things now. I make sure he eats vegetables, even if I need to squash it and mix it with his rice to give him more nutrition other than NANKID’s. I encourage him to eat fruits with me and other healthy snacks I bought him. Of course, I show him that Mommy eats them too so he’ll be convinced that it taste good.

Experts encourage everyone to come around Parentology+ to learn more about more parenting skills, and how they can make their own home, a home of the future. Rest assured that there will be different activities for everyone who will join. There are prizes such as digital instant cameras, premium tumblers, and other exclusive NANKID items can be won when they post their experience at Parentology+ on social media using the hashtags: #NANKID #PARENTOLOGY #ReShapeTheFuture.

Parentology+, powered by NANKID, is coming to SM City Cebu on August 11-12 and Abreeza Davao on August 25-26.
