Stay healthy at home: Keeping kids active and healthy in the new normal

September 28, 2020 15 Comments

Our kids have been cooped up at home since March, they weren’t able to finish school and didn’t even get a chance to say goodbye to their classmates. At first, yan ang laging sinasabi ni Gwen, she misses her classmates daw. That’s understandable kasi naman kids were abruptly stopped from their bahay-school routine. When summer came and she learned about our cancelled travel vacation, another frustration na naman for her.

Kids spending all their time inside our homes gives us parents peace of mind knowing that they are safe from being exposed to the COVID-19 disease. But it’s also challenging for us parents to think of ways to keep our BIBo kids entertained, to feed their always-hungry tummies with nutritious food, and to help them stay active even indoors.

I learned the value of money from my parents. Papa was a seaman and is the sole breadwinner of the family. When Papa is on board, then my mother has a monthly allowance to spend on our expenses.

At a young age, my parents taught me na kahit malaki ang sahod buwan-buwan, hindi dapat ubusin yun.
