6 Essentials To Pack in Your Child's Summer Camp Bag

  Summer camp is a right of passage for many children. It is a time for them to spread their wings and develop interpersonal skills away from their parents and siblings. In many ways, summer camp is the first real experience of independence for little ones, which can be terrifying for parents. They worry about whether their child will make the best decisions for themselves. Sometimes, parents wanting to protect their children will go a little overboard with purchases of a multivitamin pack, first aid kits, and a number of other items their child will likely never touch over the course of a week or two away from home. Still, while you do not want to go overboard with your purchases, you do want to ensure your little one has everything they need, including the top six essentials. 1. Medicines To Pack Your Child When you send your little one off to camp, you need to consider the different medicines they will need, and not just prescriptions. For example, it is a good idea to send them wi

Double the Support in Nurturing Your Child’s Creativity at Home

Nurture creativity by doubling your child's immunity because more healthy days mean more opportunities to nurture the gift. Every child is born with a gift, and it's the task of every parent to nurture this gift and help the child reach their full potential. An important but sometimes overlooked way to help your child nurture the gift is to ensure they don’t get sick, and this requires giving their immunity a boost. How exactly does immunity contribute to creative gifts? It’s simple; fewer sick days means more opportunities to rehearse dance moves, practice brush strokes, or master their scales. In this article, we break down five ways you can support the development of their gifts, and why you shouldn’t neglect supporting your child’s immunity. 1. Use everything you have in the house At the top of the list is maximizing your home environment to increase opportunities for creativity. Dust off old clothes and turn them into costumes, use old blankets as theater curtains, and stu

5 activities to turn family merienda into fun bonding moments

  For Filipino families, merienda is a tradition typically enjoyed twice a day, either between breakfast and lunch, and between lunch and dinner. But beyond this, it’s also as good a time as any to catch up and bond over light and easy-to-prepare delicious food.   Add a twist to your family’s usual merienda to make them more fun and exciting. Here are five activities worth a try:     Do the no-phone tower challenge   Distractions can occur during merienda time, so one way to avoid them is by setting aside phones and tablets during merienda. Of course, rules are no fun, so turn it into a challenge instead. Do this by stacking all of your phones at the center of the table. The challenge is this: the first one to get their phone from the tower gets a penalty, like cleaning up after merienda.     Play games   What is merienda without yummy snacks? Use your family’s favorite snacks as part of the games that you could play. Two games come to mind: Build-a-House a

A Variety of Fun and Healthy Snacks for the Kids

It is never too early to get your kids eating healthy. Of course, that is easier said than done for a generation of children weaned on fast-food and chicheria. But that’s not to say you should just give up. On the contrary, you should strive all the more to introduce your bundles of joy to healthy treats! One of the secrets to doing that is by getting creative with the snacks you give your kids, so they can enjoy snack time and get nutritional benefits at the same time.  Lucky you then because Gullón is now in local shores, and it is here to help you!

5 Ways to Create The Most Meaningful Summer for your child

School year is about to end, so aside from the long awaited vacation of our kids, we as parents always wanted to make sure that our kids will have a meaningful summer vacation. When I was a kid I remember freely running in our backyard and playing with other kids and that is where I develop my social skills and exercise my sportsmanship in different games that we played. The entire duration of my vacation during my childhood were spent in playing with friends outdoor, household chores, visiting my cousins or relatives who lived far from us and ofcourse watch my grandmother cook our favorite dishes for me to learn her craft. Generation may pass but kids nowadays still need to develop their skills, hobbies, socialize and enhance whatever talent they may have, so aside from going to the beach or spending the whole day in front of the computer it would help if we introduce our kids in other activities that they can unleash their hidden talents and at the same time help them improve
