Marian Rivera shares mothering tips she learned when raising Zia

Not even famous celebrities are exempt from having parenting blues. Take for example Kapuso star Marian Rivera. The mother of two is also prone to wondering these questions that new parents ask themselves: How do I protect my child without getting in the way of their development? How do I know if what I’m doing is enough? However, with expert tips and the right nutrition partner, motherhood can be a sweet treat, just like what Marian experienced when raising Zia.

Here are some parenting gems that we have picked out from her example.

Time is of the essence

Despite her busy schedule, Marian takes ‘quality time’ to heart. She knows that every time spent with her daughter Zia during the formative years makes a lasting impression and impacts her overall well-being. For every important school activity, Marian makes sure she is there for her daughter. Like Marian, we can also use each time we spend with our kids as building blocks for conversation, creative play, and new discoveries.

Give them a bit of independence

Our protective tendencies as parents urge us to hand-hold our children. But sometimes, we need to just step aside and let them do things their way. Marian sees to it that Zia does age-appropriate tasks that build independence. She discourages “babying” children in favor of letting them explore things on their own.

House of praise

Words are just as important in raising confident, well-adjusted toddlers. Praising children gives them encouragement and motivation for their daily tasks. Marian never fails to compliment Zia. She knows that positive words also contribute to a child’s healthy self-esteem and self-worth. Proper acknowledgment of your kid’s progress is an integral part of parenting. Marian puts light on how important encouragement is in the video below.

Parenting can be daunting, but it can also be rewarding. After all, parents just want their children to be the best version of themselves. Combine best practices with the proper nutrition from a balanced diet and the right milk made for toddlers and pre-schoolers.
