Made It Through Mum

Yeah! That's me and #PrincessY with Rockstarmomma and her kids dancing on stage.  For the love of Lily's peanut butter. 😍 An expression of love through food is not demonstrated through the quantity on your plate, but the care with which it is prepared. And knowing what could satiate your appetite, and comfort you at the same time, is an art itself. I remember the time when I was going through a very bad day at school when I was young, my mom would prepare my favorite snack. Simple yet therapeutic : freshly-baked pandesal from a nearby bakery, slathered with Lily's peanut butter with strawberry jam. Mmmm… Sweet drooling memories. And at night, she would cook Kare-Kare, when I ate that meal, it was the most comforting feeling. Though my mommy understood the pressure I was going through, she couldn’t really help me. So, she did what she knows best — prepare my favorite food with love. That's why I also want my kids to feel the same. That they are loved and cared...

Here are the essential takeaways from Nestokid Grow Happy Nation event and lessons I imbibed from Ms. Rizason G.T. Ng, Psychologist of Ateneo Bulatao Center. To be able for your child to grow happy: 1. Validate - validate the uniqeness of each child. Because when we validate their uniqueness, we give them a sense of significance. It develops their sense of self and makes them feel that they matter and that they are important.  For example: Child: Mama, I hate my classmate, I hate my teacher. Tayong mga mommies sinasabi natin agad "Uy, mali yan . Don't say that masama yan. " Pero kasi when we say that, it makes the child feel and think " Ay, mali ba ako? Mali ba ang sinabi ko? Bad ba ako?  Instead, we should practice Reflective Listening . We ask them : Why are you angry? What did your classmate say? We accept what they are saying without judgement that what they did was bad or selfish. Allow children think their though...

Where were you last July 16,1990 when an estimated magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck the Philippines specifically Central Luzon?  My mom who was pregnant then with our youngest, my sister and I were in our room on the second floor of the house when the shaking happened. We were shocked.  I held on to our cabinet where our TV was para alalayan ang TV and the figurines not to fall 😂 Funny how I think of the appliance and decors first rather than my safety.
