Mum Shares: How You Can Help Advance Your Child’s IQ + EQ With DHA + MFGM Pro

No Comments

A child’s chance for future success relies not just on harnessing the IQ. It is also very much dependent on making sure his or her EQ is equally developed. EQ is the ability to understand, use, and manage one’s own emotions in positive ways to relieve stress, communicate effectively, empathize with others, overcome challenges and defuse conflict. It is how a child is able to keep calm when a favorite toy is lost or when he or she can’t figure out the answer to what 8+5 is. It is how a child is able to get along with other kids while in play or in school. It is how he or she is able to manage  frustration without throwing a  tantrum. Completing your child’s EQ to have these attitudes will help set them up for success in the future.

With recent studies that point to the importance of EQ as part of a child’s holistic growth, moms who have been  focusing on IQ are now nurturing the EQ abilities of their kids. Apart from concentrating on their kids’ mental strength in the areas of  logic, memory and language, moms have also started to hone their kids’  confidence, behavioral regulation and independence. That’s because moms now know that  if they don’t enhance their kids’ EQ, a child is basically #MissingHalf of what is necessary to attain success in the future.

Cost of Hunger: Philippines Report

A new report released today by Save the Children reveals that the Philippine economy is losing at least P328 billion a year due to the impact of childhood stunting on workforce productivity and education. Stunting is the most prevalent form of undernutrition, and has permanent effects on a child’s growth and development.

The report entitled “Cost of Hunger: Philippines” suggests that, in 2013, childhood stunting cost the Philippines almost 3 percent of its GDP. The overall economic loss of PhP328 billion consists of:

  1. PhP166.5 billion worth of lost income as a result of lower level of education achieved by the working population who suffered  from childhood stunting;
  2. PhP160 billion in lost productivity due to premature deaths among children who would have been members of our current working-age population;
  3. PhP1.23 billion in additional education costs to cover grade repetitions linked to undernutrition.

Ned Olney, Save the Children Philippines Country Director, said:

“This study proves that undernutrition has a cost to all of us. In just a year, Philippines has lost almost 3 percent of its GDP in terms of education and productivity costs due to stunting. If we add up health costs, the likely impact would be an additional 0.05 – 1.6 percent.”
