Reshape your mindset, reshape the future

As a mother of 2 boys (Lehynhaj and John Carlos) I have a lot of questions in mind on how I will raise and prepare my child to be future-ready in this ever-evolving world. Achieving an optimal growth mindset begins with optimal nutrition. Nestle NANKID id giving parents the opportunity to be able to foster a holistic and continual growth of a child in all aspects - emotional, nutritional, physical, psychological, and social development, through Parentology+: The Reshape Effect Forum happened last January 15, 2019, at Whitespace Makati.

Nestlé NANKID executives, along with parents, moderators, and speakers unite to #ReshapeTheFuture by fostering an Optimal Growth Mindset.

Nurture your child and provide them with nutrition that could help them ensure their future a brighter one with lots of possibilities.

Children nowadays are fast learners they easily catch up with what is said unto them.  Failure is life’s greatest teacher but few parents want their children to experience its pains. In today’s increasingly complex world, raising children can be a challenge for parents, most of who would not want to see their children experience difficulties.

"Nestle understands that children and their parents face a complex reality, which is why parents should have the tools that will help them pave the way toward their children's optimal growth and development. Nestle NANKID provides the optimal nutrition which is essential to growing children's needs. Coupled with supportive care from parents who allow their children to learn from every opportunity, Nestle aims to let parents reshape the future, today." ~Ms. Jean Espino, Vice President for Marketing, Nestle Premium Milks

Pediatrician and epidemologist --- Dr. Josephine Sunga shared ideas on reshaping a child’s future through proper nutrition during the Reshape Effect Forum held in Whitespace Makati last January 15, 2019.

Some of the activities were “Reshaping Your Language”, where participants learned that adults have power over how our language can affect kids. Phrasing statements to curiosity questions can help the kids get a feeling of being included in the decision-making.

Nutrition plays a vital role in the development of a child. Without providing proper action, a child’s diet may greatly affect his or her overall growth. However, despite the potential health risks children may face due to the environment or because of genetics, there are ways parents can prevent these from happening and help ensure their children are not restricted to achieve their full potential for the future.

Indeed, embracing challenges and opening up possibilities are a child’s greatest teacher, and with an optimal growth mindset, backed by optimal nutrition, parents can help reshape their children’s future so they can become the best version of themselves.

Parents, experts and Parentology+, powered by NANKID Raising Well-Rounded Kids for the Future Starts at Home!

I'm a mother of two cute and super makukulit na boys, eldest is 4 years old and the youngest is 3 years old which I love so much. Can you just imagine how I start and end my day having kids as active and as adventurous as my boys? Though the eldest Lehynhaj is in school already while the youngest John Carlos isn't yet, I always make sure that I manage to take good care of them in the best way I could with of course the help of their father John Paulo. Parents today face an immense challenge how do they make sure that their children grow up ready to face whatever the future brings?

Consider the fact that today’s fast-paced lifestyles are demanding more time from parents at work. School environments are also being driven by technological shifts that young kids have to keep up with. This leads children to lifestyles with little focus on physical activity and exercise. All things considered, nutrition has also been compromised in line of food that’s easy and convenient. As a result, many children grow up facing issues such as obesity, social difficulties, attention problems, and learning deficiencies. 

These new challenges that parents have to contend with can be overwhelming. That’s not to say, however, that you can’t do anything about it. With consistency, dedication, patience, and a little guidance and support from fellow parents, experts and Parentology+, powered by NANKID, it’s entirely possible for parents to ensure that their kids are future ready. 

The Future Starts at Home

As parents try to navigate the new challenges presented by changing lifestyles and technological advancements, Parentology+, powered by NANKID, is making sure that parents are empowered with the tips that will help reshape their children’s future. 

Launched earlier this year, Parentology+ is anchored on three pillars—proper nutrition, active lifestyle, and high social quotient. Understanding that parents seek guidance and tips from people they trust, Parentology+ sought the help of various experts to weigh in and give advice for the three pillars, partnered with the NANKID ambassadors.

Nestlé NANKID brings Parentology to SM Aura. Catch Parentology+, at SM City Cebu on August 11-12 and Abreeza Davao on August 25-26!

“The success of Parentology+, gave parents an opportunity to address challenges presented by modern parenting. We would like to go deeper into these issues and really flesh out the importance of these three pillars, as well as give parents the tools to establish this at home.” ~Jean Espino, Vice President for Marketing -Premium Milks of Nestlé Philippines

Cat Arambulo-Antonio is skilled at juggling relationships in different situations, and with clinical psychologist, Dr. Cely Magpantay, the two believe that in order to help your child socialize, it’s important to put your child in new situations where they can learn and listen to others. To better encourage kids to socialize with others.

“Warm up, be present at first, then be invisible during playtime. Join them during the start of the activity, and eventually let them be. Be a role model to them.” ~Dr. Cely Magpantay, Clinical psychologist

In the event, they have also prepared an activity that lets moms and kids do work together to see what traits their child already possesses and how they can further build on them to make them more socially competent. 

Nutrition can be challenging for parents, especially when kids need around 3,000 calories a day. However, Joy Sotto and Ms. Aleli Magtibay, Nestle’s own Nutritionist, say that it can be done with moderation, balance, and variety of food options.

“Follow portions by making sure to give a combination of go, grow, and glow foods in every meal, and practice variety, in terms of flavor, texture, color, and food preparation.” ~Ms. Aleli Magtibay, Nestle’s own Nutritionist

For Parentology+, a kitchen set-up was created for kids to be able to select different food in the pantry to create a balanced meal which will then be verified by an interactive nutrition guide and scanner. 

Playtime may seem like a regular activity for children, but its benefits on the child’s physical health are hard to ignore. Anton Del Rosario and Dr. Edgar Eufemio, an orthopedist specializing in sports medicine, want parents and kids to realize that some activities are better than others. Through a fun goal kicking challenge, kids learned the different traits that are beneficial to their physical development and lifestyle.

“Give them a taste of success by giving words of encouragement. Be supportive of your kids’ activities, so they would just continue doing what they love to do. Also, play with them. If you expect them to be disciplined and grow up a certain way, do it with them.” ~Dr. Edgar Eufemio, an Oorthopedis

Parents are encouraged to be a role model for their children, and participate in their various activities, may it be socializing, eating healthier and staying active. Through learning the style of modern parenting, Parentology+, can help parents create a customized model that can help reshape their child’s future. These three pillars are essential to the development of a healthy, well-rounded child that’s ready to take on the challenges the future holds.
