My son is now on his second year in school as a Kindergartener. It's a big challenge for him to adapt to his new environment and so do for us. I want him to enjoy his schooling by making his study time fun and preparing him yummy baons. But before anything else, look how cheerful and happy our little boy is.
Going back to preparing school baons or snack. My son loves bread, biscuits and cakes like cupcakes and brownie. Sometime, we prepare waffles and his Dad bakes some cookies. I let him bring juice or yogurt milk too. But I am afraid that drinking too much juice can cause him some health problems.
Great to know that Ajinomoto is launching “amino Fres-C” Instant Juice Drink Mix.
From the Press Release kit:
School is a wonderful place to explore and
learn new things but parents are well-aware that this place can also be a major
source of stress for kids. A school day begins and ends with passing through
bumpy roads and enduring slow-moving traffic. Kindergarteners are not excused
from pushing trolleys that carry heavy loads. Students have to juggle various
seat works, assignments, recitations and quizzes for 8-9 subjects. In a
nutshell, going to school is eternally beneficial but it is hard work!
Parents can instill the value of diligence
and patience to lessen the hurdles kids face at school. Feed them with
knowledge that can widen their understanding and sharpen their minds. Be
involved in their school life. Assist in checking if assignments and projects are
done correctly and completely and be on guard for any emotional or physical
traumas they might be experiencing within and outside school premises. Extracurricular
activities can also help build self-esteem and develop healthy social life for
most school children as they learn to interact with other people.
Being sick or sickly is a big burden to
students as they need the strength and energy to keep up with the daily demands
of school. Exercise and good diet are essential in maintaining physical
well-being. Parents must take time to engage their kids in fun physical
activities and prepare delicious and healthy meals.
Responsible parents naturally go for safe
and quality ingredients, but to make meals more enjoyable and nourishing for
school children, they need to introduce variety of food ingredients and expand
cooking methods from only frying to also sautéing, steaming, blanching and
boiling. If frying is unavoidable, it is recommended to observe proper frying
temperature (365-375'F) to decrease oil absorption. Test by dropping a small
piece of food into the oil; the temperature is right if the piece of food rises
above the oil within 3-5 seconds.
The new “amino Fres-C” Instant Juice Drink
Mix is a great addition to kids’ baon. This is the only powdered juice drink that
is packed with Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA) with Glutamine and Arginine.
These specific amino acids are building blocks of protein that maintain energy
levels, support muscle growth and repair, and toughen immune system – making
this drink perfect for sustaining kids’ demanding schedule at school. “amino
Fres-C” is 70% less calories compared to other juice brands, so they get to
enjoy the real fruit taste of its orange, pineapple and mango variants, without
the unnecessary calories. The new “amino Fres-C” is available in local
supermarkets for only PhP 8.00 per 1 liter pack.
