Experts emphasize the importance of improving children’s language skills at a recent talk
A mother’s concern over her child’s language difficulties goes beyond the surface level. Given the pivotal role of communication as the medium by which children learn when they are at school, she understands that issues such as speech delay and limited communication skills may impede optimal brain development.
Knowing the concern that surrounds our mom, Wyeth Nutrition® through the Promil Gold® Gifted Talks, gathered an esteemed panel to discuss the value of language as the cornerstone of learning. Panelists included Wyeth Nutrition® Neurocognition Research’s Head, Jonathan O’ Regan, Global Marketing Manager of Wyeth Nutrition®, Jocelyn Lacida, and pre-school educator and school owner, Teacher Rosanne Araneta. They underscored the importance of language development in early childhood, weighing on the scientific fact that strong communication skills equip children with cognitive abilities necessary to excel in pre-school and in life.
The talk reminded parents that they must understand the pivotal role of language as a medium by which children learn, making it crucial to address this early on.
Teacher Rosanne Araneta highlighted the concerning state of education among Filipino children, as revealed by the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA). The study showed that Filipino students are among the world’s weakest in math, reading, and science, with recent test scores showing no significant improvement since 2018. She stressed that early language development is essential to reversing this trend, noting that simple exercises at home such as creating a reading nook, listening to music and audiobooks, journal writing, and asking open-ended questions to get them to speak up more may significantly improve communication skills.
Jocelyn Lacida added that beyond learning tools, proper nutrition is vital for brain development. Promil Gold®, Wyeth Nutrition’s most advanced formula, stands out as the only milk brand on the market with clinically-proven Alpha-lipids that support language development. As the new school year approaches, providing children with Promil Gold® can give them the nutritional foundation they need to thrive in school and beyond. The brand’s commitment to advancing a gifted brain is encapsulated in Wyeth Nutrition’s Neurocognition Research mantra: “Advance a gifted brain, advance a gifted kid.”
Lacida then introduced the keynote speaker, Wyeth’s Head of Research, Jonathan O’Regan, who talked about how Wyeth Nutrition continues to innovate through years and years of clinical research, set the gold standard in the industry – giving each generation, today and in the future, the highest quality products. This discussion highlighted the neurocognition research that clinically-proven Alpha-lipids in Promil Gold® can help unlock a child’s full potential for a brighter future.
