15 Minutes of Bonding #15MinuteCalpolChallenge

Monday, August 20, 2018

     Time is essential for a stay-at-home/part-time mommy blogger like me. It’s always a ‘so little time so much’ to do kind of day every day. That’s why if I have a spare time, I always make sure to bond with Kenzo even if it’s only 15 minutes.

     During the rainy season, it is extra challenging for moms to think of activities to do with their kids because doing anything outdoors is almost always out of the picture. With the limited time combined with the uncooperative weather, this significantly reduces their choices in making memorable experiences. Quality time with the kids is important and paracetamol brand Calpol shares some rainy days bonding activities that will brighten the gloomy mood.

The Paracetamol Calpol Make No Mistake Campaign

Thursday, March 31, 2016

     I cannot count how many parenting mistakes I've done in the past years. My son will turn seven years old this year and I'm so happy and blessed to have raised a sweet, smart, and respectful child. I know we still have a long journey and there will be numerous mishaps along the way. It's a mother's instinct to worry so much when something is wrong with her child. I can say that my waterloo when it comes to my son's health is when he has fever.

     Here's a trivia: Would you believe that 20% of parents have forgotten their child’s birthday? The number is as high as 36% in other Southeast Asian countries. Right here in the Philippines, we have 1 in 2 parents admitting that they have fallen asleep while reading their kids a bedtime story. Has this happened to you? These are a few of the surprising findings uncovered by a recent global survey on parenting mistakes, conducted by Paracetamol Calpol®. See, it's okay to make parenting mistakes but there is one thing where mothers should make no mistake. Scroll down below to find out!

     Becoming a parent is a journey of trial and error, also known as the world’s most widely played game of improvisation. No amount of reading or preparation is going to save a first-time parent from a child left to their own devices. That’s often when the most amusing, albeit messy, mishaps happen. In fact, more than half of parents believe that they can’t take their eyes off their children, otherwise chaos would reign.

     Here are some of the parenting mistakes that happened to me more than once that I'm sure had happened to some mothers too:
  • When Kenzo started going to school, there were few instances that I overslept thus my son was thirty minutes to one hour late at school.
  • I also made a mistake of forgetting to pack his baon or snack.
  • I made him wear mismatched socks and sometimes let hum wear reverse shirt.
  • When Kenzo has fever, it's always a type of it-breaks-my-heart feeling to see and feel his temperature is high, like 38 degrees that will suddenly rise to 39 degrees at night. I had a mistake in giving the right amount of paracetamol as I already forgot the dosage that was prescribed to him  by his pediatrician.

     Since we're talking about our child's health here, giving the right dosage of medicine especially paracetamol is very important to ensure maximum effect and avoid side effects in the long run. One handy tip is to always consult a dosage calculator with your child’s latest weight in hand when giving medication.

     I'm surprised that when I received Paracetamol Calpol® bottles weeks ago, they had included a dosing wheel to help me give him the proper dose. Children come in all shapes and sizes, it’s not very accurate to dose them based on their age alone, which I've done a couple of times in the past :(

     Using their weight in the calculation makes it possible for medicine to work more effectively. A dosage calculator takes the guesswork away, making it one less thing to worry about. So to mommies out there, you can use the dosing wheel which you can find HERE. Feel free to share it with your family and friends. It’s a sure hit and an essential tool in caring for your sick child.

     I've shared a fun photo of my mishaps in my Instagram account to make other moms feel that they are not alone in their parenting boo-boos! I'm glad that Calpol and the dosing wheel will help me combat pain and fever. So next time that an unexpected fever arises, always remember that when it comes to pain and fever, make no mistake—Paracetamol Calpol is there for you.

Aksyon Laban sa Dengue with GlaxoSmithKline's Paracetamol Calpol Event

Wednesday, September 03, 2014

     It's rainy season again and I'm sure that mothers like me feared one thing- Dengue Fever! Yes, I associate rainy season with this dreadful disease because I became a victim too not once but twice! I had dengue fever when I was in grade school and in college. Dengue fever during my elementary days (1994) was not as scary as today because there's only one stage. Even though it's not as scary today, I was admitted at the hospital and was confined and monitored from time to time because my platelet was going down. Antibiotics and paracetamol was given and thank God that I survived. The second incident was worse because aside from the symptoms that I felt when I was 10 years old, new symptoms emerge like nose bleed, bruises and vomiting.

     If my memory serves me right, the last Dengue Fever I had scared the hell out of me. I was confined in the hospital and was delusional that time. This disease is really scary and should be taken seriously because there's no known cure until now. Affected children are the ones who suffered too much because they don't know that a single bit of the female mosquito can threaten their lives.

     That's why when I was invited to the Aksyon Laban sa Dengue with GlaxoSmithKline's Paracetamol Calpol Event last August 29, I didn't hesitate and said yes to the invitation. I'm aware that Dengue Fever already evolved from different stages that's why I need to hear factual information from the experts in this field. This is a very serious matter dearies so to know more about Dengue Fever management and the campaign of DOH to fight this disease, click CONTINUE READING and let's help in spreading the awareness!
