A PROGRAM THAT EDUCATES, NOT JUST KIDS BUT, PARENTS AS WELL.


Zero Screentime is really beneficial but it's hard to do. I really admire families who can do it. 
But for those who can't avoid screentime for their kids, just like us, don't feel bad. You can still choose to give your children LIMITED screentime and choose the right kind of shows for them.

I regret that I learned about this show just recently. Thank you to @mamatheexplorer.

These are just some of the many life lessons that kids can get from it.

 "All feelings are valid."
"Use your words to express how you feel so that the people around you can understand you and can help you."
"Sometimes, you feel two feelings at the same time, and that's okay. You can be excited now and scared later. You can be happy now and sad later."
"There is no need to compete with others. Your best is the best for you."
"Even adults feel scared, too."
"Friends always help each other."
"Getting mad is normal. Calm yourself first before you talk."
"If you can't do it alone, work together."
"When something seems bad, turn it around and find something good."
"Sharing makes other people happy and waiting for your turn is an essential part." These are also life lessons that we, adults, need, right?

I love that this children's show also teaches parents and teachers about gentle and positive parenting.

It teaches everyone how to properly deal with different emotions and what to do in various situations. It also shows how to deal with anger, disappointment, anxiety and other big feelings. 
It teaches kids essential values that they need in order to become gentle adults, as well.

If everyone who watch this will take the show by heart, it can create people who are more empathetic and people who know how to regulate their emotions. 

So, go ka-Nanay! 😉 If you really can't avoid letting your child watch youtube videos, I highly recommend this show. 
But remember, your child will benefit from it more if you are also there to watch with him and discuss everything. Make it one of your bonding moments.

TAMANG K.A.I.N. (KID AND INFANT NUTRITION), ANO, BAKIT, PAANO?

Image
Malusog at malakas na pangangatawan. ‘Yan ang hiling ng bawat magulang para sa kanilang mga anak. Pero paano nga ba ito sisimulan? Tamang KAIN. (Kid and Infant Nutrition) ang sagot diyan. LIMANG  dapat tandaan sa pagsunod sa Tamang Kain base sa aking karanasan: 1. Magbasa, mag-aral, at magsaliksik.  Hindi ko matututunan ang tungkol sa Tamang Kain kung hindi ako naglaan ng panahon at pinag-aralan ang tamang pagpapakain kay baby kapag nasa edad anim na buwan na siya. Marami akong sinalihang Facebook groups, gaya na lamang ng Breastfeeding Pinays na nag-po-promote ng Tamang Kain. Malaking tulong ito dahil lumawak ang aking kaalaman at nabuksan ang aking isipan pagdating sa tamang pagpapakain kay baby. 2. Maging open-minded. Madaming prinsipyo ang Tamang Kain na taliwas sa nakasanayan natin. Gaya ng mga sumusunod: Bawal ang asin, asukal, at kahit ano pang pampalasa sa batang isang taon pababa. At kung kayang wala talaga kahit lagpas dalawang taon, bakit hindi? Mahigit ...

MY CHILD, MY RULES

Image
  MAHIRAP ANG MAGING NANAY, lalo na sa panahon NGAYON. Parang laging may kumpetisyon sa pinakamagaling na ina at pinakamagaling na anak. Parang laging nasa isang malaking entablado na sa bawat salita at kilos mo at ng anak mo ay may mga taong nanonood. Para kang nasa isang mall at napapalibutan ng mga nagbebenta ng produkto at sinasabing, "Ito ang bilhin mo dahil ito ang pinakamaganda." Palaging nagtatalo ang isip mo sa mga bagay-bagay. Para kang namamangka sa dalawang ilog at hindi mo alam kung alin ang mas mabuting patunguhan. Sabi nila, maganda ang gatas ng ina at pinakamasustansiya ito. Pero sabi din nila, dapat uminom ng formula milk ang iyong anak para mas tumalino, tumaba at lumusog ang bata. Sabi nila, huwag mong sanayin sa karga at huwag agad kukuhanin kapag ang sanggol ay umiyak. Pero sabi din nila, minsan lang sila maging bata. Kargahin mo hanggat gusto niya dahil darating ang araw na hindi mo na ito magagawa dahil malaki na siya. Sabi nila, magtrabaho ka para may ...

AN OPEN LETTER TO NANAY

Image
Dear Nanay,  I just want to say that I know everything about you. When I was still inside your womb I knew how excited you were to hold me in your arms. I felt your fears and your intense pain during the hours of labor. I saw the tears of joy that rolled down your face the first time you saw me. I knew then that you would be the best Nanay in the world. I know how proud you are for every milestone and every achievement I make. I see how you try to document my "firsts." I know how you try to keep yourself from posting everything about me in social media. I know how exhausted you are after a day's work yet you still manage to play with me and act crazily just to make me smile. I know that you try to keep calm and not get mad when I become clumsy and careless, like spilling water on the floor, breaking a glass or a plate or writing with colorful pens or crayons on the wall. I know I annoy you with my tantrums during nappy change and bath time.  I know that while ...
