The Mommy Bloggers On K-12 Program And Toddler Learning

A busy week! Tomorrow will be the start of School Year 2012-2013 to most moms and students.. some schools, specially public schools already started with the school year last June 4. I heard that this school year, the K-12 program will be implemented. Hmm.. Have you heard about that program? Is it something that we all should worry or something that we should understand first? And why is there a need for such change on our current education system? What is wrong with our current education program?

The adoption of the program is in response to the need to improve the competitiveness of our country’s graduates as the ten-year basic education cycle is seen as inadequate for work and higher education. In fact, overseas Filipino workers are not automatically recognized as professionals in other countries that view the ten-year education program as insufficient. The Philippines is the only country in Asia and is one of only three countries in the world with a ten-year basic education cycle.

Read more about K-12 program, its benefits and the changes it would bring to the current curriculum by visiting the article I wrote last week: What You Should Know About K-12 Program

For those who are not concern on the said program because you think your kid/s are still too young to be in school, Mommy Jem provided us with a very helpful article on Three-year-old Toddler Learning and what you can expect from a three year old:

During this stage, he can now feel a range of emotions such as love, dependency, anger, frustration, rebellion and fear. That is why it is very important for parents to be more loving and caring with their child.

You really can count on mommy bloggers to help you understanding things and give helpful and practical advice!

The Mommy Bloggers on Sore Eyes and Grade Improvement

Perfect timing as sore eyes is one of the most dreaded disease during summer season and though summer is almost over (or officially over), with the climate change we’re experiencing, you may never know when sore eyes will attack. Mommy Levy provided us with a very detailed and informative article about sore eyes, sore eyes prevention and sore eyes treatment.

I have read that applying warm compresses to your eyes for 5-10 minutes three times a day can relieve discomfort. But I think the best thing to treat sore eyes is to ask for medical advise, which I will do tomorrow if my son’s eyes will still be swollen.

I agree with Mommy Levy that the best treatment for sore eyes is to ask for medical advice. This is one thing that we all should remember, answers are just a click away (use search engine) but nothing beats a real doctor. I suggest that if you feel there is something wrong with your health or your family’s health, read about it, use Google or other search engine and take notes then go to a doctor so you would know what to ask and you can easily follow the doctor’s advice.

As summer says goodbye, we all know that it means school year is almost near, I hope my article about Helping Your Child/Children Improve Their School Grades will be very helpful as the school year starts:

Establish/develop a study habit. After class, with or without assignments, practice your child to sit and study for at least 30 minutes to an hour until they develop a habit. This will be helpful not only in improving your kid/s school grade but as well as in their future. Developing a study habit for your kid will teach them discipline.

Old & New Recipe: Tacos & Tomato Sauced Chicken Wings

If Chili con Carne is a comfort dish for me, Tacos is a comfort meryenda and my friends knows that very well. It’s so comforting that one can eat 3 or more shells in one sitting. I don’t know if it’s the taste that keeps us munching or the fact that we’re in good companies partnered with juicy chika.. I guess it’s the whole experience which makes this meryenda a favorite amongst my friend.. if people buy their friends with money, I buy mine with Tacos LOL

My Tacos is very simple.. and not even expensive.. so easy to prepare too!

That’s the secret.. Mc Cormick Tacos Seasoning Mix (which is not a regular on our grocery) and I use Bambi Taco shells for my shells..

Tacos Recipe:

Ingredients:

300-400 g ground beef
Mc Cormick Tacos seasoning
2 medium onions, diced
2-3 medium tomatoes, diced
cabbage, shredded
cheese, grated
Taco shells

Cook the ground beef until brown. Dissolve the Tacos seasoning then add to the ground beef.

Let the mixture cook until almost dry then take out from heat.

Fill the taco shell with ground beef mixture, tomatoes, onion, cabbage, cheese (just half) then fill it again with the same ingredients. I think this is the secret of my tacos.. how the ingredients were placed on shell..

ENJOY!

The new recipe I am sharing is a chicken recipe.. created it as one of my entry of the Yummy Eats 2012 Hunt’s Mother-Child Cook Off (that’s another post).. it’s a very easy Chicken recipe but it’s a hit! In fact, me and friends almost finished 2 kilos of chicken wings! argh!

Here it is:
