Good morning everyone. I was reading an article when I came across in one article and it gives a good tips to all others. It’s a nice tips to our kids. I want to share this article with all those moms there who were having a problem to let their children eat good.
Q: Hello Ms. Dawn! I would like to congratulate you! I saw you at Showbiz Central last Sunday and you look so gorgeous. I wrote because of my 18-month old daughter. She used to eat rice, vegetables and fruits; but now she likes playing with her food. She puts it into her mouth and then throws it out. She is also so dependent on milk that I’m afraid she’s not getting the proper nutrition at her age. How can I encourage her to eat without forcing her? Thank you so much & more power to your column.

I can easily relate to your problem Alta, especially because it’s every first-time mom’s paranoia that we’re not giving enough nutritious meals to our babies (I am assuming you’re a first-time mom, of course). It would help to look at your baby’s eating schedule to see if she is being fed at a time when she is still full from a snack or a bottle of milk.
By 18 months, babies become more adventurous eaters. Hence, they consume anything and in the process, ruin their appetite during mealtimes. Perhaps, she is having a biscuit too many before her noontime feeding? Also, try to monitor how much milk she drinks in-between meals. It will help if you reduce a couple of ounces. She may struggle with this if she is used to full amounts but she will settle down after a bit of soothing and you telling her she’ll be having a full meal shortly. Believe me, when she’s hungry, she will chomp on anything you put on her plate. –Dawn Zuluets-Lagdameo

Good morning everybody. To have a good life, we should have a good study. This is much best implies to kids. We should tell our kids, the importance of good study. They should be aware what will be the result if they have this good study. As they were a kid, they don’t mind that much. They will only feel the goodness of studying when they grow up. But for me, it’s the best that they should start while they were still young.
It has been said time and time again by parents, teachers, and school principals: “Good study habits make for good learning and good grades.” Of course, they’re right. But what exactly are good study habits and how do we get kids to practice them?
According to Jean Serrano, director of The Tutoring Club Philippines – Rockwell, there are quite a few and as she emphasized, “There’s no ONE study system that works for all children.”
Thus, Serrano encourages parents to develop a system that is customized to each child’s personality. It doesn’t even have to conform to what parents think is the right study habit. Says Serrano, “Should you let your child study in front of the TV? If it helps your child focus and study better, why not?”
However, before leaving your child to this kind of unconventional study setting, Serrano recommends that you ingrain structured study skills in your child first. Once he knows what it takes to learn his school lessons, then you may slacken the reins; but make sure though that you stay within reach. A child’s education should after all, be a collaboration between his teacher and parents. – Cecile Jusi Baltasar (Manila Bulletin)
Mom-kid attachment, good friendship, precious moment

Toddlers who are strongly attached to their mothers are more likely to form closer friendships in the early grade-school years. Mother-child relationships may be important in guiding children’s outlook towards other close relationships.
“In a secure, emotionally open mother-child relationship, children develop a more positive, less biased understanding of others, which then promotes more positive friendships during the early school years.” Children who were securely attached at age three showed more open emotional communication with mothers and better language ability.
It was found that open emotional communication at age four and a half was related to mother- and teacher-reported friendship quality via the child’s general peer competence in first grade. “When kids feel comfortable talking about their emotions, especially their negative emotions, it increases their social competence with classmates and leads to closer friendships.”
The way children interpret other people’s behavior may begin to develop in the context of early relationships in the family, and these interpretations may be important for a child’s ability to get along with friends later on”.
With this open emotional communication, mother-child relationship will stay as good as it is and the feelings of happiness will always be felt.
