Nestlé NANKID Launches Parentology+ to help Reshape Your Child’s Future
They say that one of the hardest things in this
world is being a parent. Imagine having your children’s life at the palm of
your hand and being responsible to their well-being. Tough indeed. Today’s
world is vastly different from what it was just a decade ago, causing anxiety
among parents trying hard to provide their children a future full of
possibilities. Technology, environmental changes, and lifestyle shifts have
redefined the way people do and view things, so much so that today’s parents
sometimes feel overwhelmed by the world their children are growing in.
Today’s generation of children is different from us
when we were children. Proof is today’s children often consume fast food items
while playing video games on their handhelds. Unlike years ago when children often
ate home-cooked meals at school and played games with neighbors. Parks and
outdoor spaces have been replaced by sprawling malls, while the ever increasing
population has meant traffic congestion, pollution, and other urban challenges
that did not exist or were not as bad ten years ago. As a result, many children
have become couch potatoes with limited socialization opportunities. A number
of growing kids struggle with issues such as obesity, socialization
difficulties, attention problems, and the like.
Worse, there are factors that parents feel they
could not do much about such as family health history, to name a few, which
could potentially influence their children’s future.
Despite all these challenges, parents still possess
the power to reshape the future of their children. With commitment, knowledge,
and support, they can build a better future for their kids.
To guide parents in reshaping the future of their
children, Nestlé NANKID is partnering with them 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 different phases of life, such as diet and nutrition, exercise and
activity, socialization, and creativity.
A series of activities kicked off last February 3
to 4 at the Activity Center in Trinoma Mall for the Manila run, afterwards, the
Parentology+ run will have the
following events to reach more parents in:
●
SM City Clark on February 10-11,
