As we raise our children it is always important to make sure that they are compassionate and understanding all aspects of life. Children are fickle creatures however they soak up information like a sponge, and this is why as parents we need to work hard to make sure our children are able to understand and appreciate life as a whole in all its beauty. Today we will be taking a look at some of the ways you can inspire your child and also allow them to be better people as they develop.

Show them faith

Faith is an important aspect of life and whether it is in a religious sense such as with the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God, or in a more general sense, faith can be a powerful thing. Teaching your child to see the world through optimistic eyes can be a wonderful way to raise them because they will take the time to see things in a different way and always look for the good in people. Teaching a child to show love and respect for people of all backgrounds and all cultures can be amazing and it will help shape the person they become.

It is ok to dream about your own space. But, with that comes the responsibility of sustaining or keeping alive these dreams once they get fulfilled. Your dream house, office or study room or any other place for that matter needs to be well maintained, free from dirt, and above all well adorned. It is with this in view that come to the concept of commercial cleaning. It is in business as more and more commercial buildings are rising and more and more sophisticated buildings are being built every now and then.

While everybody takes the term ‘cleaning’ in a somewhat similar way for offices and homes, there is a slight difference in its meaning when it comes to ‘commercial cleaning’. There have been a lot of guidelines, terms, and special take-care lists which has to be taken care of when people think of making things happen for them in the office on a smoother note. To begin with, it is good to know how the commercial cleaning method differs from the normal one. Basically, in the commercial one, people tend to take the commercial buildings into consideration and do the cleaning while keeping the following points in mind.

Additionally, when it comes to commercial cleaning, specific services like commercial window cleaning may be required to ensure the cleanliness and maintenance of the building's exterior and interior surfaces. These services often involve specialized equipment and techniques tailored to the unique needs of commercial spaces.

The country has been facing a rise in the number of underweight and overweight Filipinos for more than 20 years. The World Health Organization (WHO) defined this phenomenon as the “Double Burden of Malnutrition” or the “prevalence of both undernutrition and overweight in the same community, nation, or region.”

To address this problem, our government launched the Pinggang Pinoy® campaign in 2014. Pinggang Pinoy® is an easy-to-understand food guide showing proper food group portioning on a per-meal basis. This reflects the principles of MOderation, VAriety, and BAlance (MOVABA) to promote healthier eating habits.

Solving the Philippines’ Double Burden of Malnutrition should be a collaborative effort between the public and private sectors as it is not an easy feat. With this, Ajinomoto Philippines Corporation partnered with government agencies to conduct education programs to raise awareness and promote the practice of Pinggang Pinoy® in malnutrition hotspots, where incidences of Double Burden Malnutrition are high. This training was given to homemakers/mothers who have malnourished (underweight, stunting, wasting, overweight and obese) school-aged children.

The pilot run resulted in improvements in the knowledge & attitudes of households related to the practice of Pinggang Pinoy® within target areas. However, behavior changes towards healthier eating habits remain to be a challenge. The program uncovered a number #MalnutritionTraps that some Pinoy households easily fall into. The following #MalnutritionTraps provide a picture of how unhealthy eating habits may lead to Double Burden of Malnutrition:

Who says that just because you’ve got a family carrier and that because you’re a Mom that you can’t have a cool car? If you’re like many other Moms around the world, you spend a considerable amount of time in your car: taking the kids to school, dropping them at practice, doing the grocery shopping, and commuting to work. Did you know that a good 6% of your day is spent behind the wheel at least? Your car should be something you’re proud of, something that when you and the kids pile into it that you’re proud of! So, without further ado, here are some super cool additions that you should get for your car in 2019!

It’s no secret that pretty much every car immediately looks better with matching and funky car alloys, and they’re not expensive either! Most car repair stores will stock a whole range of chrome, matte, and even glossy alloys for you to choose from.

You’ve probably seen many videos online of disastrous driving, and they’re often caught through the use of dash cams fitted in people’s cars. Not only do you have a layer of security when it comes to your car, but having one also dramatically reduces your car insurance premium. This is because if you are involved in an accident, there’s video proof of who was in the wrong. Blackboxmycar.com sell a range of dash cams for all kinds of needs. Parking your car in an area you’re unsure of? You can buy a dash cam that will continue recording even when you’re parked.

It can be hard to know when you need help and even after you know it, it can be hard to accept the fact and actually go and get help. So many people think that counseling is something for weak people - something that you only need when you are forced into it, but that is far from being true. Counseling is truly life changing for me and for those around me (that have done it in the past). There is no need to be afraid to talk to someone or get help because at the end of the day, you are only bettering yourself and you have absolutely nothing to lose. 

In fact, you will gain a lot from counseling. More than you will expect, probably. Here are just a few of those ways that counseling can help you and others, especially if you are depressed:

You will be held accountable

Accountability is so important. I truly think that it is the difference between success and failure. Why? Because when people do not take accountability, things start to go awry. When people do have accountability over their actions, they automatically are ready to take it on, in order to try to remedy the issue. While accountability should always start and end with the individual, it is so helpful to have someone hold you accountable, especially in the beginning and when it gets hard to keep going on. People thrive when they feel like they cannot (or should not) let someone else down. For example, you are more likely to go workout when you do not want to when you know that someone is waiting for you. That’s the basis of accountability and when you get help, you will be held accountable for continuing on your path to getting better. Accountability helps people know that they will be accountable, it gives people in your life an opportunity to support you, and it encourages you to do better.
