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 their physical and emotional well-being.

Here are five ways to create the most meaningful summer for your child without depriving them of their "me time":



VACATION
First, vacation does not mean that our kids needs to stay at home and do nothing at all, give them chores, and allow them to play outside, it's a way of developing their sense of responsibility and allowing them to have outdoor activites for them to develop physical well-being.Try bringing the kids to the nearest resorts and let them learn more about nature.

GOALS
Second, give them goals for their summer vacation. A simple garage sale would help, sorting out their old stuff and earning money through it, in this way they can learn the value of money and help them become responsible in their finances.

FAMILY BONDING
Third, is to Create a special bond between you and your child. The most crucial factor in raising our kids starts at home, play with your kids, spend time with them and have activities that will create memories that they will cherish when they grow old and this will help in their emotional well-being.

TIME MANAGEMENT
Fourth, Time management, as early as now teach them how to manage their time properly so when they grow old this will help them manage their priorities and they can be more productive, you can start by allowing them to create their own weekly schedule at home.




ENHANCING TALENT
Lastly, Help them develop their talent and acquire new skills, you can monitor them closely during their vacation and as a parent you will notice the talents and skills that your kids posses, we should not take this for granted as this can be their edge in life when they grow old and the most important thing above all is to see our kids do and excel with what they love to do.

That is the same reason why this coming summer vacation, I will spend time and support my daughter in what she loves to do, good thing is that Promil iShine Talent Camp 7 has a lot to offer this year and arts is one of them, which my daughter truly loves.

Aside from visiting our relatives in the province this summer, visiting the museum, doing some gardening and having picnic in the park or going to the beach, I made sure that Chelsea would be able to enhance her talent and develop her other abilities too, I want to support her all the way on what she want and I think we can start by joining Promil iShine Talent Camp 7.

She happen to choose Art Camp which she vocally mentioned to me before the enrollment at the camp which will be handled by Mr Robert Alejandro, owner of Papemelroti. I know this camp will allow my daughter to hone her talent in arts and crafts.



Promil iShine Talent Camp 7 also has different camps that your kids can join, they have the Music Camp which is led by Maestro Ryan Cayabyab, the Ballet Camp is led by Ms Lisa Elizalde-Larrazabal and while the Dance Camp is being led by Teacher Georcelle of G force and these talent camps will be held in key cities in the country like Manila, Davao, Batangas and Cebu.



A lot of kids from the previous batches of the Promil I-Shine camp really showed exceptional talents and really sparkled through the years and one of them is Ms. Shaira Luna who at the age of two already knows the different  branches of Sciencce and she can play various musical instruments such as piano and violin. She was featured in Wyeth's infant formula ad in 1995. Today Shaira Luna is a fashion and advertising photographer that is represented by an internatoinal creative talent agency Jed Root Manila. Esang De Torres also known as The Little Broadway Diva "Mini Lea Salonga" was also a Promil Pre-School I-Shine Talent Camp 3 Grand Prize winner. She also joined various talent shows. She's the youngest artist to stage a major solo concert in the Philippines at the age of 9.



Knowing that every child has their own talent as parents we need to help them nurture and enhanced that skills and talents and since vacation is nearing try visiting Promil i-Shine Talent Camp 7 online registration to see more about their programs.Enroll your child aged 6-11 years old by visiting www.promilnurturethegift.com.ph and then click on the i-Shine 7 tab!


Make every moment with your child this summer extra special by showing them your unconditional love and support.

Since my kids is 2and 3 yrs old palang need pa rin nila mag laro outdoors 😊 ipasyal sa mga palaruan. But for me cguro sasanayin ko na ung mga kids ko na humawak ng crayons and pen. Xmpre may gabay pa rin cla para kpag ready na cla sa school ok na cla sa ganong bagay. Hindi ko cla sinasanay sa mga gadgets. Sa labas lang cla nag lalaro ok na cla.

I really like these five goals. I think if I were to work on one, it would be helping out with improving my daughter's talent in a couple of fields. I think I will do art this year. This is a cool list.
Cindy Ingalls said…
I must admit I'm a little jealous of kids these days, especially when it comes to summer camps. There are so many cool ones that allow kids to indulge their interests and imaginations.
Lorna Morva said…

Stella Sesuca said…
Wow I love all the ideas here. My 3 kids have their summer program which is free yearly at Camp Crame conducted by the Police officers. Sports for the kids and for moms who loves to dance and have fun while their kids are enjoying too. They got Chess,Swimmimg,taekwando,basketball,badminton etc. Thats why I encouraged every kids to join there its free and they will learn more sports rather than playing computers
Abba Seyer said…
Maganda po yan, Momshie! At least ngayon pa lang po pwede na mag-prepare for summer vacation kung ano ang mga pwedeng gawin ng mga bata. Ang mga bata kasi nowadays are always using gadgets daily so wala ng time for anything about learning experience sa buhay. Kaya kadalasan natatali na sila ngayon sa pagga-gadgets or online gaming.
Emcel Fajardo said…

Gaganda ng tips para ngayon darating na summer vacation ng mga bagets para maging makabuluhan ang kanilang bakasyon at hindi lang puro gadgets.
Summer vacation is one of the most awaited season ng mga kids ko, because they all.love going to the beach and playing outdoor games. Sakto ang mga tips na nabasa ko to have a more enjoyable summer vacation.

Tigdas/Measles: Mga Sintomas, Pagkain at Lunas

Pagkatapos ng Dengvaxia incident maraming magulang ang natakot na pabakunahan ang mga anak ng libreng bakuna na inaalok ng DOH Health Centers. Yung iba sa atin hindi na pinabakunahan ang mga anak laban sa measles, tetanus, rubella at cervical cancer (HPV).

Nutri 10 Plus, Vitamins Perfect For Child's Growing Needs

Summer is already here. The temperature last week was 34°c and its getting hotter everyday. We have to open our windows to make sure that we won't get suffocated because of the heat. Summer is also the season of flu, bacteria that can cause cough and build up of phlegm. Kids should always be geared with proper protection. Their body needs protection from harmful diseases. That's why I was so thankful that I used Nutri 10 vitamins for my Chelsea. This is the kind of vitamins that she really need. For sure most of you know that Chelsea is a picky eater. She only eat if we have Sinigang or gravy that she put in her steamed rice. After taking Nutri 10 for almost a month now. I noticed some changes in her appetite and daily routine.  Before, Chelsea stays up until 2 am and wakes up around 11 am. Thankfully that routine changed and she also started to eat vegetables. As a mom I'm always worried because I know that she is not getting the right nutrients that her

A quick trip down holiday memory lane

  Can you feel it? The cold breeze, holiday songs, festive decorations, and colorful lights and lanterns… it’s Christmas season, everybody! Filipinos are known to celebrate Christmas the longest – it starts with the BER months and ends in January. Along with parties and get-togethers, we also have different traditions to celebrate the yuletide season. Since I was a kid, I associated grapes and round fruits with the holiday season. My grandma used to buy a lot of grapes during the BER months and placed them on our table along with other fruits. The grapes were also hung on windows and doors to help bring in good fortune for the coming year. I remember her asking me who was eating the grapes as she noticed that they were slowly “disappearing” and I said it must have been my aunties and our cat. But… It was silly me all along, of course! My aunties ended up buying more, much to my delight.   For Christmas eve, my aunties and grandma would make their delicious fruit salad – a huge can of f
