Screen time is bonding time for celeb moms
In this digital age, parenting small kids could be a challenge. Children face an onslaught of information available to them at an increasing rate. The question every mother is confronted with is this: How do they make the digital world work for the advantage of today’s generation?
It is along this line that PLDT ambassadors and celebrity moms Camille Prats-Yambao, Isabel Oli-Prats and Dimples Romana weigh in on their experiences mothering their young children at home. These digitally-savvy moms show that technology is not an enemy, but a tool for education and entertainment that can help them raise their children better in this modern world.
Camille, Isabel and Dimples find great help through quality home entertainment available to them in high-definition digital content from the all-inone entertainment box Roku Powered TVolution, made possible by high-speed Internet from PLDT Home Fibr. These moms have found a way to ensure that screen time is bonding time for the family.
For Camille, the plug-and-play Roku Powered TVolution allows her and son Nate to bond over their favorite channels from Cignal and shows from Netflix. “We love watching different shows on Cignal TV together and it’s great because we can talk about it. These bonding moments really matter to me especially since he’s growing up and he’s going to want to have a lot of me-time,” she shared.
Meanwhile, her sister-in-law Isabel, who is mom to adorable baby Feather, enjoys her share of kiddie shows on Cignal as well. They also use it as bonding time with husband John. She explained, “We work in showbiz so we already know what it’s like behind the camera. It’s nice to be on the opposite end, as a viewer who’s just relaxing at home.”
Like Camille and Isabel, Dimples, who has a teenager and toddler, sees home entertainment as a way to come together as a family. “When we were younger, we saw TV as just a distraction from important things. Today, it’s more than that. You can start conversations, discover new things together, have fun together — it’s a simple activity that can mean so much,” she said. Dimples added that the convenience of being able to access diverse and familyfriendly content at the touch of a button is priceless. “Everything is easier and faster so we have more time for the things that matter.”
Camille, Isabel and Dimples are the digital managers of their homes, thanks to SmartHome devices that empower them to ensure the safety and security of their loved ones, and that enable them to enjoy quality and seamless family bonding time at home.
SmartHome advocates peace of mind, a commitment to parents manifested through PLDT Home’s products and services designed to help parents feel more secure about the safety of their children. These products and services include the home monitoring system Fam Cam; the multi-functional kidfriendly gadget Smart Watch; and the cyber safety solution Family Zone, all best used with the Telpad.
