Grow strong with milk

-

AS mothers, we love our children unconditio­nally and when it comes to their nutrition, only providing the best will do.

Giving our children enough calcium and protein is important and a healthy diet can be complement­ed with Marigold UHT Milk.

It is packaged for children to convenient­ly drink anytime, anywhere, chilled or non- chilled.

Here are some facts about milk that every mother should know:

Adequate consumptio­n of vitamin D is also very important as it promotes calcium absorption.

Vitamin D deficiency can lead to rickets, a disease that causes bones in children to become soft, weak and distorted.

You can ensure that your children maintain healthy bones by providing them milk, which contains vitamin D.

Marigold UHT Milk contains both vitamin D and a unique BonePlus Formulatio­n, which enhances calcium absorption and bone strength.

This is important for children to continue leading an active lifestyle.

Since milk is also a good source of protein, getting them to drink more milk can help them grow strong and be healthy.

Here are suggestion­s for how you can convince your children to drink milk:

Make it a family habit

Children’s actions naturally reflect the actions of their parents. Hence, if you as a parent drink more milk, your children will likely follow after.

When it becomes a family habit, children would drink milk without being told to do so.

Marigold UHT Chocolate Milk is a new and improved flavour. So, you can now include more variety in your children’s milk routine. LANGUAGE learning is much more than just learning new words and how to put them together. It does not grow in isolation but is part of an allround developmen­t, integrated with other skills that are emerging in a person.

Through language, we learn our culture and values as well as teach these values to our children, starting from when they are very young.

By spending time communicat­ing with our children, we can extend language skills in a most natural and positive way.

The vital language learning years are from birth to about the age of six. With parental help and encouragem­ent, children can learn not only one but two and even three languages during these years as they are at a stage of rapid developmen­t that allows them to easily absorb and respond to a new language.

Activities such as drawing and categorisi­ng objects according to their colours may not appear directly related to language learning, but they encourage concept developmen­t in young children.`

Through play, young children develop language skills, understand­ing of concepts, fine

Milk for any time of the day

Drinking milk during breakfast is a great way to get a healthy start to the day.

But growing children need a continuous intake of nutrients throughout the day, so ensure they receive enough in their daily diet.

To encourage the natural developmen­t of language, it is important to spend time with your children daily, participat­ing in activities that they enjoy and are appropriat­e to their developmen­tal level. Don’t just teach but play and interact with them.

“All of our programmes help students develop their communicat­ion, language, speech and presentati­on skills in an enjoyable way.

“These interactiv­e classes also enable children to acquire both confidence and creativity, which are vital for them to excel at school and, later on, at work,” says Lorna Whiston, managing director of Lorna Whiston ( Malaysia, Singapore and China).

Both the Taman Tun Dr Ismail and Taman Melawati centres in Kuala Lumpur offer language as well as speech and drama classes all year round, including holiday programmes during the first two weeks of December.
