My Son's School Achievements


Five, my eldest started schooling when he was 3 years old. He already know the basic colors, shapes, and the alphabet before he entered school. The teacher was really amazed of him.

From Day Care up to Grade 3, he is always at the class' Top 2 or 3. He is such a competitive pupil. He loves to join to every event they have in school. Especially in Science and Arts. He really is fond of everything about Arts.


I love how dedicated he is in his studies. I am so proud of him. I see myself in him. I was also an achiever during my elementary days. Without the help of anyone. I received awards yearly.

That is why, as a mom. I did everything to help him and guide him. I thought that making him focus with his studies and spending both our time reading his textbooks is the best thing I could do to help him.

But I have noticed, it caused us both so much stress. We review his lessons every day. I make him a test weekly. Things became harder when I gave birth to her little sister. We got a very limited time. It is always a pressure because I need him to finish everything with the time I tell him. We review and do his homeworks while his little sister is asleep and when I am available.

Until one day, I had realized that it is doing harm to both of us. The pressure is not healthy. It is not healthy to my son. Most of the time, we end up fighting. I was very impatient waiting for him to finish or learn right away.

So I decided to change how we review his lessons. We started to make it fun but still he learns. Without pressure. We even make his little sister join. When he's not in the mood to read his books and he wants to watch tv or play, I let him. And I told him, as long as he doesn't get a failing grade, it is okay. It's fine with me. He just have to go to school, enjoy, no pressure.

That is why I did not expect any awards at the end of this school year. But, to our surprise.. He made it to the top. He bagged the Top 1 award of his class. My son still did it. Without the pressure. Without the mad mom during reviews.

I am so proud. I am so happy. I did the right thing. I let my son to enjoy and have fun while learning.

Kids doesn't need to be so serious in their studies. Parents doesn't need to be pressured when it comes their to kid's achievements. Let's make them enjoy every moment of their life as a kid. Let's support them, not pressure them. Let them play and have fun. It will make them more confident. Awards are actually not the one that we should be after to, but the knowledge our kids earn in a healthy way. Learning is not a competition.

Bungang-araw / Prickly Heat Effective Home Remedies

It's summer. We all know, that bungang-araw/prickly heat is one of the challenges most of us faces during this season. My kids are one of those who suffers from that itchy skin problem. Here's a list of effective home remedies we have tried: Aloe Vera Gel - this one is very effective. We store it in the refrigerator. The cooling effect is very refreshing and it moisturizes the skin. Calamine Cream - it is to relieve itchiness as per our doctor. MoringaO2 Therapy Oil - our little girl's moisturizer since she was diagnosed with skin asthma. Very helpful, safe, and effective for the whole family too. Cetirizine - the doctor advised me to give cetirizine to my kids when they have skin problems to relieve the itchiness and prevent the kids from scratching. We use Allerkid for I think almost 10 years now. Avoid scratching. It will make the skin problem worst and open wounds will possibly cause infection. Kids cannot resist the call of scratching ...

My Love for Huawei

Before I was convinced by my husband to buy a new phone, I have been using my Sony Ericsson for 7 years. Yes. Out of trend phone. But it is still working great. No doubt of its brand quality. But since I am jobless now, I cannot afford any of its latest phones. So we decided to buy the Huawei Y6 ii in gold. Simple, trendy, and affordable. Plus the quality. The time we bought my Huawei Y6 ii, my husband has been using his Huawei Honor 4c in gold for over a year. Charging time 2.5 hours. 24 hours or more usage time. He dropped it many times. Still, working good. He have it for more than 2 years as of today. In short, quality of his mobile phone is already proven and tested. Which also helped me decide to choose the same brand. Here's my Huawei Y6 ii Lots of Free Themes on Huawei Themes itself. Camera is so good. With features to love. I got mine from Sm Megamall with some freebies. It's cost that time was 7,999. Comes with a bag, free ...
