Exciting Mother’s Day Deals and Treats Your Mom Will Love
Special Ways to say “I’m proud of you, Mom!” this Mother’s Day
Special Ways to say “I’m proud of you, Mom!” this Mother’s Day
Heroes are meant to be celebrated, and there’s no person more deserving of this recognition than our mothers. They have made sure that the whole family is safe and healthy during the pandemic, which is not an easy feat considering that motherhood in this time requires a lot more patience, resilience, and hard work. Thanks to her ceaseless love and sacrifice, mom manages to pull through and ensures that everyone is well looked out and cared for amidst these tough times.
Thus, this Mother’s Day, “I’m proud of you, Mom!” is perhaps one of the less spoken but most relevant messages that your mom deserves to hear. There's nothing more special in expressing it than with one of Red Ribbon's delectably beautiful cakes. To complement your special cake gift, here are some ideas for your mom’s special day.
1. Cook for her
Moms usually do all the cooking at home, so let her take a break and make her favorite ulam for Mother’s Day. End the feast with a luscious Black Forest Cake, a chocolate fudge cake covered in fluffy cream and chocolate shavings, and topped with Maraschino cherries.
2. Write a heartfelt letter
Whether it’s handwritten or posted on social media, letters never go out of style. Make the gift sweeter by adding a Yema Caramel chiffon cake, made with creamy yema caramel icing and filling, and garnished with toasted cashew nuts.
3. Spend the day watching K-dramas
Let mom sit back and join her in binge-watching K-dramas while enjoying a slice of the new Mango Sunrise cake. It’s made from soft chiffon cake layered and topped with mango cream and mango chunks, perfect for enjoying her happy pill shows.
4. Go online window shopping
Treat mom to gifts
that she’s always wanted—be it clothes or small trinkets that make her look
& feel ever-blooming. While doing so, gift her an Ube Bloom Cake, made with
real ube halaya and filling, and coated with white frosting and ube crumble.
5. Prepare an
afternoon pampering session
Let her relax and
take that much deserved break while listening to her favorite music at home,
sipping her favorite drink and enjoying it with Red Ribbon’s all-new Ube
Mousse, made with layers of ube halaya, cream cheese and topped with cream and
grated cheese.

Four Findings every Parent should know about Brain Development
FOUR FINDINGS EVERY PARENT SHOULD KNOW ABOUT BRAIN DEVELOPMENT
Experts
say that 90% of a child’s brain is developed by the age of five, making this a
crucial time to provide the best support possible.
Here are four
neuroscience findings every parent should know to enhance their child’s brain
development throughout early childhood, especially during the first five years:
1. REPETITIVE
AND CONSTANT EXPERIENCES RAISE A SMART KID
Repetition
and constant experiences help children practice and master a skill as it
exhibits speed and advanced mental capabilities for his age.
·
Encourage kids to do simple tasks, such as getting
dressed, putting on shoes, brushing teeth, and washing their hands. Repetition
and being intentional is key to helping them build confidence as they become
smart and sharp.
● Let
kids run around and allow them to be independent. It is important to foster
kids’ growth and development with interactive fun experiences to give them a
good foundation that allows them to be ahead of their game.
● The
experiences and stimulation we provide our children set the stage for emotional
and cognitive development. Let them speak up and express themselves so that
they can become articulate. Parents may foster a child’s development with
nature. Provide hands-on experience playing with toys, encouraging sensory
development by seeing and touching things around them.
2. POSITIVE
EXPERIENCES & RELATIONSHIPS BRING OUT THE BEST IN KIDS
According
to a Harvard study, “Children who develop warm, positive relationships with
their kindergarten teachers are more excited about learning, more positive
about coming to school, more self-confident, and achieve more in class.”
● Positive
experiences go a long way, so try to avoid stressful situations. Sometimes this
is easier said than done, and sometimes meltdowns happen when little ones are
frustrated, but you can help them to learn to calm themselves down when they
are upset by making them feel safe and help them find a quiet space to regain
composure. Sometimes, what starts as a stressful situation can turn into a
positive experience in which a child can learn lessons that last a lifetime.
● Parents
are not perfect. There comes a time when we will break or misstep an emotional
connection with our child, but this can be transformed to become a positive
experience for your child.
● The
process of ‘putting things right’ may strengthen our relationship with our
children, helping them become trusting and resilient. For example, we can be
cranky from work and yell at our child for spilling milk. We can mend the
situation by saying, “I am so sorry I yelled at you. You tried getting a drink
by yourself, right?” With this, they’ll be able to adapt to similar situations
and turn them into positive ones.
3. EXPERTS
HIGHLIGHT THAT THE RIGHT NUTRITION IS CRUCIAL FOR BETTER BRAIN FUNCTION
During childhood,
lack of nutrition can impact the learning process of a child and may result in
them being less interested in learning.
A child’s
brain makes more than one million neural connections every second. It is busy
forming connections that allow brain cells to communicate with one another. The faster the connections happen, the better it is
for the child for long-term brain growth and development.
Children need the right nutrients to help support the critical brain
process. Without the right nutrition, this can also affect
physical growth and maturation. It is even possible that they may not think
properly if not given the right nutrition.
4.
PHOSPHOLIPIDS ARE KEY NUTRIENTS FOR A HEALTHY BRAIN
Phospholipids are the critical fats in the brain
called “intelligent fats”. Certain phospholipids play an essential role in
myelination as it supports brain connections which are critical for learning
and development.
There is a premium growing up milk that
can provide the important nutrients crucial for brain development. Promil Gold® Four has breakthrough
ALPHA-LIPIDS, which contain the five major phospholipids crucial for brain
development. It also contains DHA, AA, Choline, Lutein, Zinc and Iron.
Alpha-Lipids help speed up brain connections by up to 100x faster
through myelination. It helps support the structure and functions important for
brain connections and brain development.
Hopefully,
these neuroscience findings will help inform you and put you at ease regarding
your child’s brain development throughout their early years. Remember: you are the best one suited for your child’s
development to become advanced at his age. Your child’s brain is most
flexible during the first five years, and it is the perfect time to invest in
the best nutrition, education and activities to keep your child ahead.
