Why Be an Adamsonian... Why Not?

My parent used to say, Education is best legacy that we could you give you. Education can’t take away by any  man nor can disappear.

Now that I become a parent, this too has been my philosophy. WE parents give and do all that we can to be able to make sure that our children will have the best education there is.

I may say, that I am lucky enough that my children were able to be enrolled in the top universities in the country because of their talent and academic excellence but not all parents are blessed as I am.

I am saying this because, I am now starting all over again with my foster child who someday will get a college degree as well

As a parent there, there are thing that I need to consider when helping my child to discover which university best suits her need.

Recently, I was able to go back to the university that once in my time is my aim college university to go to; Adamson University.

When I graduated in high school, Adamson University was one of the two university that I wanted to be enrolled in and now I am happy to be able to visit it again.

The university is accessible by private and public vehicles, bus and LRT if you are coming from the North or South. The area is safe since there are enough security roaming the area.

Adamson University could be considered a parents partner in education  with their low rate tuition fees. Students can also apply for student assistance position for them to avail of financial assistance. There is also scholarship for athletes and other program that could help the student finish their degree

Management

The Adamson Management based on the interview that I manage to get from the faculty are 100 percent supportive in whatever endeavor their students needs. Including research and other resources that they need to make sure that they are ready for the outside world.

As of now, my foster child is training for baseball which is one of the sports in Adamson University that offers scholarship. AdU is  the champion for sports like baseball and cheering dance competition as well.  

We parents should be part of the decision of our child's future. I hope that I have enlighten other parents like me why they should consider their children to be an Adamsonian. Let us bring the best out the best in our children and guide them to make the right decisions including their future educations.

Moms Little Big Helper: What Household Chores Can a Seven Year Old Do?

I thought that I am done with kids, hahahaha; what a joke?

I’m not complaining, I miss kids running around the house or there would be someone who will greet you upon arriving home or someone who will accompany me  when I  go out.

Originally, I have 5 kids of my own.  yes, my flesh and blood but since they have a life of their own; I decided to become a foster parent.

Dhandrew come into my life when he was just five years old and even though he was not related to me in any way; I become so fond of him.

Fast forward; Dhandrew is now seven years old. Just like any other kids, he wants to play; watch TV and other stuff a kid would love to do.

Dhandew is the first boy that we had and then came Gabriel and then we got a twin boy several months ago.

It’s a happy house but a ramble as well since there are more things to do and take care of

Dhandrew being the eldest at seven , need to learn a few tricks on his sleeves.

While children now a day becomes more and more bound to internet, social media and phones and uses a sense of entitlement instead of responsibility; I as a foster parent has a responsibility to guide him

As much as we love our children , we also need to teach them to become responsible adults as well. Our goal is not just them learning something but to have them learn important life skills  while learning as well to be responsible,  perseverance, patience.

What’s nice about Dhandrew is , he is now the little big helper in the house. At seven years old, Dhandrew  has his own task at home.

Find out how you can bring your child’s future forward with Parentology

Being a parent is hardest job that a mom or a dad can undertake. There’s no books that could prepared to be a parent.

I had my share of hit and miss when it becomes to parenting, for every child is different from one another.

When I look at my five kids, I always remind myself to look at my hand; I will remind myself that my fingers are different from one another just like my children are different from each other.

As a parent, I was always looking for events and seminar that would help me in raising my children to help them be equipped in the future.

I could say that I am blessed enough to have five amazing kids, but I know that I could never be able to do that without the help of others

As years goes by, providing a future full of possibilities for our children are becoming harder than what our situation was before.

Parents now a day are facing a lot of hardship because of today’s technology and lifestyle. Children now a day are more incline to use iPad and gadgets than playing with other kids their age. They prefer to eat fast food than the baon that we prepare for them.  

But despite of these barrier, parents still has the power to reshape the future of their children. With commitment, knowledge, and support, they can build a better future for their kids.

Nestlé NANKID’s Parentology+ was kicked off at the Activity Center in Trinoma Mall last February 3, 2018. Media and guests are all excited to hear what awaits in Nestlé NANKID’s Parentology VIP Launch and I am one of them.

During the launch, we visited three booths that introduces us on how we can reshape our children’s’ future

First stop at Parentology is the Socialization+ station. Guests had to partner up to finish a song using the giant piano!

2nd stop: Nutrition+! Guests learn more about living a healthy lifestyle through the everyday food we consume at Parentology.

3rd stop: Play+! Kids and kids at heart look for clues hidden in each ball found in the ball pit. All clues lead to discovering how we should engage in activities that contribute to our overall well-being.

Each stop teaches us the key facts as to how we can help our children to bring out the best in them.

Nestlé NANKID is partnering with parents in advancing Parentology+, an advocacy to help parents take charge of their future with simple steps that can be taken right at home.  These day-to-day measures cover the separate phases of life, such as diet and nutrition, exercise and activity, socialization, and creativity.

To launch Parentology+, Nestlé NANKID will be holding a series of events to bring the advocacy closer to parents across the country. The events will feature bloggers who are also parents, and who can share their experiences about several aspects of their parenting journey. Blogger Stephanie Zubiri-Crespi and Nestlé Nutritionist Ms. Aleli Magtibay will give insights on nutrition and diet.  Football player Anton del Rosario will share how he got his son to embrace an active lifestyle and love sports.  Entrepreneur and stylist Cat Arambulo-Antonio will speak on how she helped her children learn to socialize with their peers, and tidbits on how to stimulate their creativity and confidence.

Besides the key facts that we learn, all participants were given freebies and on top of that Nestlé NANKID will be giving away Instax SQ10 cameras to two lucky attendees in each run!

Parentology+ kicks off starting February 3 to 4 at the Activity Center in Trinoma Mall. To reach more parents, it will be followed by events in:

●          SM City Clark on February 10-11,
