The pre school years of any child is very crucial. They are very active and this stage is also crucial for talent development. This is the time where they explore everything and they start their talents starts to emerge. That is why, Promil Pre school has been providing pre schoolers a place to hone their talent. Promil Pre-School i-Shine Talent Camp is a yearly nationwide event that serves as a place to help parents discover the talent of their kids. This is also a venue for nurturing the kids talent.

We won’t be hiring any helpers and me and my sister will work as a team in keeping the house clean, making good food, tending to the kids and keeping our sanity.

GROW Without Palm Oil

Palm oil is an ingredient in most infant formula and milk. This is used for the purpose of blending fats to match the fatty acid found in human milk. recent studies though showed that Palm Oil can actually decrease calcium absorption. I have learned that from Grow’s Press Launch last May 26.

During the press launch, Gladys Reyes was introduced as Grow’s newest endorser together with her kids. Her manager Lolit Solis was also present during the launch. It was a very informative launch specially to us moms. We learned about the importance of early programming. This is about what you give to your kids during the early life can affect their health in the future. Think of it as simple as delaying the introduction of sweets and chocolates.

We also learned the importance of calcium throughout childhood. Being a mom of four, I am very keen on the calcium intake of my kids. I even start feeding them Malungay Rice to add more calcium to their diet. And it’s shocking to know how Palm Oil can make a big difference on the calcium absorption. Honestly, I thought all milks are the same, that all of them has calcium and the only difference is the taste and the price. Learning about Palm Oil and calcium absorption is an eye opener for me.

Grow from Abbott does not use Palm Oil. Grow contains 24 vitamins and nutrients, DHA, Taurine and Prebiotics that support optimal growth and strong bones. And not only that, Grow tastes really well and I can attest to that. During the launch, we were asked to taste two different milk brads and choose what we like the most. The first one I tried was too sweet for my taste, and being a believer of Early Programming, I just knew this is not the right milk for the kids to take. The second one was creamy and tasty which turns out to be Grow.

That’s me and Mommy Fedhz taking the taste test. As I have mentioned, Gladys Reyes manager was there and even shared a table with us mommy bloggers.

and of course I wouldn’t this pass to have a photo opss with Manay Lolit Smile

The Mommy Bloggers with Miss Gladys Reyes.

I really like how Gladys talked about motherhood and how she is a Bida and Kontrabida to her kids, motherhood is all about balance. She mentioned that even before she was asked to endorse Grow, she was already using it for her kids.

We got to take home some Grow samples and told my three year old that it would be his milk for now. He has a fixation over his milk he has been drinking since he is one.. and now he is three we need to look for a new one. It really helps that the packaging of Grow is kid friendly. I told him his new milk would be the Giraffe milk (ehehehe). At first he was reluctant but eventually he liked it. The creamy taste is a good thing. I still have to observe how Grow will affect Chico’s weight and height.

So if you have a 3 year old kid, you might want to try Grow and see how your kids can GROW without Palm Oil.
