Taguig City, Philippines -
November 7, 2017— As part of this year’s celebration of
the Gifted Awareness Month, PROMIL® Four, in partnership with the Philippine Center
for Gifted Education (PCGE), conducted a Learning Workshop, that features
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.
The said event is in line with the
brand’s theme of “Shaping the Gift to Build Tomorrow’s Greats.” It gathered
celebrity and blogger parents, who participated in a series of workshops and
activities in a bid to educate them on the importance of building a strong
foundation for their child’s learning abilities.
According to Dra. Leticia Ho,
Clinical Psychologist/Neurotherapist and President of Philippine Center for
Gifted Education, the future will be different for children. In the face
of an ever-changing world, they will need to learn a different set of skills.
The best period to nurture these abilities lies in the crucial first 1,000 days
of the child, starting with the mother’s pregnancy. It is during these days
that the child responds and adapts to different interventions.
“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,” added Ho. “This event aims to educate the parents on the proper tools
and approach to help shape their child’s gift. With the proper parenting,
proper stimulation, and proper nutrition we believe that your child can reach
his full potential.”
PROMIL® Four’s Learning
Workshop highlights three different activities that show the
advantage of multi-dimensional development in nurturing a child’s gift to its
full potential. These activities are based on three learning zones
focused on the physical, mental, and socio-emotional development.
The physical activity focused
on the importance of growth and immunity to strengthen physical
agility through a yoga class. As a productive meditation activity, it showed
how yoga can stimulate body movement and sensory experiences for children. It
also promotes multi-dimensional learning as it encourages balance
and coordination, focus and concentration, mind and body connection, and
self-awareness and mindfulness.
Meanwhile, the mental activity featured
an art workshop developed to encourage recognition and memory. This activity
focused on bringing the experience on how art can develop a child’s memory
through storytelling and painting while inculcating repetitive practices and
rhythms.
Lastly, the camp also has a social
activity, through a giant block game, focused on the need of
being socially adept for better learning. It underlined how an imaginative
game can promote strong leadership qualities in children through imagination,
communication, and collaboration.
Meanwhile, PROMIL® Four’s
Learning Camp also emphasized the importance nutrition plays in supporting a
child’s advanced learning abilities. “Proper nutrition plays an essential role in your child’s brain
development. With the right nutrients, it can further support a child’s
advanced learning abilities,” added Ma. Neva Luna Batayola, Medical Director.
To end the event, Dra. Leticia
Penano-Ho, President of Phil Center for Gifted Education gave a key take away
message and that is “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.”
Aside from the Learning Workshop, this
year, PROMIL® Four is also partnering with Atlantis Production.
They will be showcasing awe-inspiring talents in the local production of
Matilda the Musical, a theater play that features the story of a gifted child.
