As we look around us and read the news we are bombarded by stories of family dysfunctions and their toll on individuals. More often than not, the guidance counselor is at the forefront of helping individuals who are affected by problems within the family. In this context, the Integrated Professional Counselors Association of the Philippines (IPCAP), Inc., and the Philippine Association of Christian Counselors (PACC), Inc. in cooperation with Asian Seminary of Christian Ministries (ASCM) are sponsoring a Convention with the theme, “Empowering Counselors to Reach-Out to Families” the purpose of which is to strengthen the know-how and skills of counselors as they reach-out and help families thrive with the different challenges they are facing today. Convention objectives are as follows: 1) empower counselors to continue their work with confidence and look out for opportunities to help families struggling with co-dependency & addiction issues, having a child with special needs, or adolescents who are at-risk; 2) help counselors incorporate the 6 Essential Ingredients of Healthy Parenting into their work; 3) provide counselors a framework of the healthy Filipino family, identify dysfunctional family dynamics, and how setting emotional boundaries can help each family member live and function better; 4) help counselors have a better understanding of emotions and family relational patterns and how these work out in everyday situations in the home. It will be held at the Asian Seminary of Christian Ministries 102 Valero St. , Salcedo Village , Makati on September 16-18, 2010. There will be 7 workshops, 5 of which each participant is entitled to attend.

        Please avail of early bird discount by registering on or before Sept.3, 2010.

        Please register early, especially for those who want to earn credits for CPE-continuing professional education for license renewal of Guidance Counselors. This convention will earn you 21 CPE Units. The IPCAP (Integrated Professional Counselors Association of the Phils.) will give the CPE credits since it's already accredited by PRC. But you have to be a member of IPCAP (P500/year + P200 ID fee) plus P200 for the certificate. We hope to give out the CPE certificate on the last day of the convention.

        For those who don’t need CPE credits, the convention fee is P2500 for early birds, and P3000 after Sept.3, 2010.

        The venue - Asian Center of Christian Ministries is located at 102 Valero St. Salcedo Village. When you are in Makati at Buendia Ave. corner Ayala Ave., look for the huge RCBC Plaza building. Valero St. is behind RCBC Plaza on the Left side. ASCM building is right behind the MacDonald's (at the corner of H.V.dela Costa and Valero St.) behind the RCBC Plaza.

Try to do these things:

1. Try to seek help.---Kung hindi mo na talaga kaya alagaan mga babies mo, you can ask assistance from your immediate family or relatives. Pwede ka rin naman mag-hire ng kasambahay para matulungan ka sa paglalaba, pagluluto, paglilinis ng bahay para ang activities mo na lang ay ang pag-asikaso sa mga babies.
2. Try to take a rest.--- Kapag pagod ka na talaga, magpahinga ka naman. Lalo na kapag natutulog na sila babies mo, pwede mo sila sabayan para kapag nagising naman sila, at least kahit konti nakapag take a nap ka na.
3.  Be patient---- Habaan mo ang pasensiya. Natural lang talaga ang magalit at sumigaw sa mga bata kasi nga pagod ka na, pero hindi naman fair yun kasi di naman nila kasalanan yun and wala silang nalalaman tungkol sa kapaguran mo. Pray to the Lord to give you more patience.  Isipin mo agad na mahal na mahal mo sila bago ka magsisigaw para di na matuloy ang pag-sisigaw mo sa kanila.
4. Discuss with your husband---- seek advice from your hubby kung ano mas maganda solution sa pagiging alone mo mag-alaga. Alamin mo rin ang nasa isip niya para parehas kayo mag-decide kung ano ang dapat gawin ninyo.
5. Play with your kids...Enjoy mo lang na mga toddlers sila (though yan talaga ang mahirap alagaan kasi makalat sila at hahabulin mo talaga!) Mas gusto kasi ng mga bata ang may kalaro rin and mas maganda kung si Mama nila ang magplay at the same time teaching them new things. Especially malapit na silang mag-aral, pumasok sa school.  Prepare mo sila sa mga school activities.
6. Offer them to the LORD---All your activities for the day, offer to the Lord. SIYA ang mag-guide sa iyo sa pag-aalaga sa mga babies mo. SIYA ang nagbigay ng gifts sa iyo (mga babies) and SIYA ang mag-provide sa iyo ng lahat-lahat ng kailangan ninyo.

I hope nakatulong sa iyo ang mga iyan.

I am also a hands-on Mama.  I have 4 kids. My eldest daughter is in grade 4, my second child is a boy who is in grade 2, my third child is a girl who is in kinder 1 and my fourth baby is a girl, two-month old infant.
I have helpers who assist me in laundry, cooking, cleaning the house.  I have daily schedule of activities. In the morning, I assist my kids preparing to go to school so that in the afternoon, we will be studying, answer our assignments. They have a schedule in Kumon-Math Program every Tuesdays and Thursdays.
While they are in school, I am taking care of my baby, I am breastfeeding her.
My husband is an OFW too, a mechanical engineer working in Libya.
We have daily communications through YM or Skype and he gets to see our baby in the webcam. (He was not here when I gave birth two months ago. Both of us decided for that for we have a goal. I asked strength from God.)
I have experienced what you are going through. Give out the love you have inside your heart without expecting something in return.
You will just see it from your kids when they grow up. They will love you more and be able to express that love by giving you hugs, kisses, art activities that they have made out of a cut-out papers, cards made by them, drawings of heart, kind words from them,etc.  These are among the joys of being a mother. No amount of money can buy the gladness we feel inside our hearts when we see our kids grow in accordance with the will of God.
Good Luck to you and God bless you and your family!

1. our husbands were  brought up like this, na mother lang din nila ang hands-on sa kanila.
2. just like daddy wesh(tama po ba?)said, pagod over na sa work thus not helping their wives with the kids
3. late na umuwi ng bahay maybe because o.t sa work, night life, meeting etc.
4. traditional. they have this kind of thinking na child rearing is solely the wife's task....
parang agree ako dito,kasi yung hubby ko ganito din,parang tamad mag alaga ng bata.kahit during weekend pag wala syang work,pag nanghihingi ng milk,sa akin pinapasa,eh wala naman sya ginagawa,nasa internet lang. baka nga naman sa pag brought din sa kanila,kasi nga yng father niya abroad,so mama niya nag aalaga sa kanila,pati ate niya,hands-on sa mga anak niya,so kaya cgro na sink in sa mind niya,na pang babae lang talaga ang mag alaga ng bata,task niya lang ang mag work for us]]> 6921@http://www.pinoyparenting.com Bakit karamihan sa mga Daddies hindi hands on sa mga kids? 2010-09-05T01:51:07-07:00 http://www.pinoyparenting.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=1459#6919
i dont know if its psychological problem to kids.. baka manerism lang na kelangan ng tough descipline... no need to hurt the kid... kelangan lang mapasunod na wag nyang gawin...

naisip ko lang.. lagyan mo ng gloves sya bago matulog para nde na magkagat ng daliri...  o kaya, namna kamutan mo ng likod na lang pampatulog.. o kaya naman yung tinatapik sa may butt para makatulog..

pagnakita mo syang mag nail bite.. ask him to stop immediately.. kelangan siguro yung medyo takot sya ang magsalita, its either you or your partner...  yan kase ang ginagawa namin ng wife ko.. hope this helps kahit konti.. =)]]> 6919@http://www.pinoyparenting.com Nail biting 2010-09-01T00:26:24-07:00 http://www.pinoyparenting.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=190#6918
