In this modern age, our kids are up to different things as compared to what we were exposed to decades ago. The thing is, they are in for a different future in this face of an ever-changing world, too. As parents, we have to be step out of our way, and educate ourselves on the importance of building a strong foundation for our children’s learning abilities.
PROMIL® Four celebrates “Shaping the Gift to Build Tomorrow’s Greats.” And I was very glad to be part of it! The gathering featured expert speakers in the field of Developmental Pediatrics, Clinical Psychology, Obstetrics, Health & Wellness, Arts, and Nutrition, recently at the Sofitel Philippines Plaza Manila in Pasay City. We, the guests, enjoyed the learning workshop so generously prepared by PROMIL® Four with the Philippine Center for Gifted Education (PCGE) as part of this year’s Gifted Awareness Month.
Did you know that the best period to nurture our kids’ abilities lies in the crucial first 1,000 days of their lives, starting with the mother’s pregnancy? This is vital as, during these days, the child reacts and finds their feet on diverse stimuli.
“A child’s development results from an ongoing and cumulative process of nurturing. This means that your child’s brain development can be affected by both environmental and intrinsic factors. With the proper parenting, proper stimulation, and proper nutrition we believe that your child can reach his full potential,” according to Dra. Leticia Penano-Ho, Clinical Psychologist Neurotherapist and President of Philippine Center for Gifted Education.

This experience was really cool and new for most of us. We were like 5-year olds in the series of activities that aim to address and nourish the 3 Rs - Reasoning, Resilience, and Responsibility.
The first activity was focused on developing the physical aspect in our child’s growth. We had yoga class, and it was epic! As a dynamic meditation activity, we realized how yoga can fuel sensory experiences for children through body movements. It also upholds multi-dimensional learning as it boosts balance and coordination, focus and concentration, mind and body connection, and self-awareness and mindfulness.
Next, our mental activity involved some art works, which target recognition and memory skills. It showed how art can develop memory through storytelling and painting while doing repetitive practices and rhythms. I really loved this part and I’m sure my kids will enjoy this, too!
Last but not the least, we had a giant block game as social activity. This time, we got to interact and work with each other. Imagination, communication and collaboration are strong leadership qualities that our children need to have so that they can be responsible. It was really fun and fruitful!
PROMIL® Four highlights the role of nutrition in supporting a child’s advanced learning activities. Another exciting part? PROMIL® Four partnered with Atlantis Production to showcase the gifts of these talented kids! Get the chance to see Esang De Torres of ABS-CBN’s “The Voice Kids” and “Les Miserables” Asian Tour, Uma Naomi Martin of “A Little Princess”, and Gawad Musika’s Outstanding Child Performer Felicity Kyle Napuli from November 10 to December 10, 2017.

“Every child has the talent which can be a Gift if discovered and nurtured early. It is the parent’s role to make the child’s talent reach his full potential, or else that gift could just be there untapped and undiscovered.” – Dra. Leticia Penano-Ho.
