He started to get curious so it's time to educate him! 🥰
Primo started to get curious about his private parts, so it's finally time to educate him about them! 🥰
It may seems awkward for parents to talk about these things in a Filipino household, kadalasan hindi natin alam kung pano natin to ituturo dahil hindi rin naman tayo tinuruan ng mga magulang natin. As a matter of fact, we usually have nicknames to address them like “tintin” “patutoy” and many more!
This is why we decided to teach Primo the correct names of his private parts for him to get used to it without malice and being embarrassed.
✅ When children have a clear understanding of their body, lalo na yung private parts nila, we are helping equip them to be able to ward off potential grooming from sexual abusers.
✅ This will also help us to have a close and comfortable relationship with our children by maintaining open communication with them, they will feel safe to ask us about anything!
✅ They can then take this invaluable knowledge with them into adulthood, respecting their own bodies and those of others.
Let’s have more young people body educated❤️✨

✅ Things I will teach my kids
No mall tantrums! This is how I trained him🥰
Ang hirap na nga mag mall na may kasamang toddler tapos mag ta-tantrums pa?! 😩 Let me share how we set Primo's expectations before going out! 😉
✅ Before getting ready I talk to him on eye level👩👦
"Primo we're going to the mall to buy groceries because we don't have food anymore, how do you feel about it?"
I let him identify his own emotions so he's gonna be familiar with how certain emotions feels like and can communicate his feelings about circumstances more easily🥰
✅ Reminding him again while he's in the bath 🛁
"Primo where are going?"
"Why are we going to the mall?"
This is for me to know if I properly set his expection already if he goes "buy toys" I would explain everything from the start! 🥲
✅ While getting dress
"Primo are you going to help mommy pick which food to buy later?"
"Mommy is excited to buy food in the grocery, are you too?"
This way he will have a clear understanding of our errands for the day usually by this time he'd say "See toys?" this will be my go signal na alam kong okay na kami dahil hindi na sya nagpapabili
✅ But since they're toddlers, I have to remind him again before going to the car (just like in the video)
✅ While we're inside the car
✅ When we're already in the parking lot
✅ And lastly, before going inside the mall😌
Forda sirang plaka ang ferson 🤪
He was 1 year and 2months nung na observe namin, na gusto niya siya na ang nasusunod kaya we started setting his expectation, and since then once pa lang nag tantrums si Primo sa mall and he's now 2yrs old and 6months 🥰 (di ka sure mag ba-bakasyon kayo next week HAHAHA)
Happy Gentle Parenting!
"HELP ME" 🥺 it took us about 6months to finally get him to ask us for help whenever he can't handle his emotions already.
You see, if you grew up in a toxic environment it's too easy to resort to shouting and hitting but whenever I lift my hand, my childhood trauma just flash right before my eyes as reality hits..
𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐮𝐦𝐚 𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐞..
It's hard to gentle parent and it's hard to deal with the guilt after hitting your child..
So choose your hard 💯
