My younger son is 4yrs old this year, he still cant recognize all alphabet and number. How to help?

do more practice

Teach him po. Panu nya malalaman kung walang nagtuturo. Kung 4 yrs old na pwde mo sya ipasok na sa school.

I found alot of alphabet songs on youtube and thats how my daughter learnt it. I find that she learns better with music. Make it fun

Practice only , keep them fun at read n listening activities than playing with toys .. it will help

keep practicing with your son. get elder kid to help too

Activity books and board games!

How about some activity books instead of toys?

try books yung puro pictures n books. para habang maaga humilig sa pagbabasa ng libro

Lego duplo and magformers...

Is it advisable to get a dog when children are around the age of 3? How do pets help to enhance a child's growth?

It helps to be responsible and they will know how to care.

I think they help in terms of emotional and social development. Kids and dogs are Super similar in a sense as well so perhaps that’s why!

I heard dogs r more pet frndly than any other pets .. but check it out their vaccination etc .. before heading in to it

Children learn to be more caring with pets around so i would say it's fine.

No, we don't have. For me dagdag sa asikasuhin lang. Di kasi ako fond of pets. Sakto lang. Though I grew up having a dog sa bahay. For me mas gusto ko mga bata kesa pets na alagaan.

How do you respond when your little girl tells you all the kids at school are mean to her?

This is such a good question. I always tell my girl to be polite but stand up for herself. There is no need to engage in physical violence and that she should confront her bullies and ask them to stop

First of all, you need to identify the situation. What kind of things are all the girls saying to your child? Are they offensive, mean, or out of line or are they general run-of-the-mill teasings. If

Sumbong nya sa teacher nya and tell her to stay away from those kids. If it will happen again then it's time for you mom to talk to the teacher para lagi nyang bawalan yung mga bata.

Talk to the teacher and tell them the dilemma if your child. Its sad when you hear your child telling that

Would be furious, then worried at first. But will try to understand better from my child before acting on anything. Will give her some time to share the details with me, instead of forcing it out from

My 7 year old son falls sick easily upon attending K1 onwards, what could be the reasons?

Could be his immune system etc. It's quite common, do get some supplements for the pharmacy

Change of weather and environment.

It could be because of the change in environment, and I would suggest washing hands frequently.

His immune system might not be as robust as needed to counter germs and bacteria. Check with pediatrician for recommended vitamins or go to TCM to Take some herbal medication to improve his immunity

He is also building his own resistance and immunity However do give him loads of fresh fruits, veg etc Supplements, multivitamins, vit c? Even the gummy Chews could help
