Since it began in 2007, the walk continues to advocate for acceptance,  accommodation and appreciation of Filipinos with autism towards an Autism-OK Philippines. “Although many are aware of autism, very few people actually understand what it means to live life  on the autism spectrum. SM Cares and ASP come together as a community to remind everyone that  autism awareness and acceptance should be part of their everyday lives. Awareness is a good thing,  but acceptance is far more meaningful,” said Engr. Bien Mateo, SVP of SM Supermalls and Program  Director of SM Cares Program on PWD’s. F

Most kids today so well-versed into devices like TVs, tablets, and smartphones well before they can even ride a bike. Technology can be part of a healthy childhood, as long as this privilege is not abused. While it is very tempting for us parents, to simply give them their tablets while we finish important task at home, realize that in the end, this can highly affect your kid’s behavior. Kids who view violent acts on TV are more likely to show aggressive behavior, and to fear that the world is scary and that something bad will happen to them. Teens who play violent video games and apps are more likely to be aggressive. Characters on TV and in video games often depict risky behaviors, such as smoking and drinking, and reinforce gender-role and racial stereotypes.

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

The typical Valentine’s day includes flowers, chocolates, teddy bears, heartfelt love letters and surprises – all efforts were mostly from a man, given to a very lucky woman. On the contrary, in Korea, women are the ones giving chocolates to men as a sign of love. Traditionally, men that receive these gifts will then give a gift in return on the following month to which they call “White Day”. This is a perfect way to let your man know that they too are indeed important on Valentine’s day. This year, I decided to mimic this Korean tradition and asked married men on what they want to receive for Valentine’s day. Here’s what they had to say: #8. Stove, cook set, tarp, sleeping pad – This sporty hubby is always on the go and is into mountain climbing. He and his wife always make sure to climb mountains at least once a month.
