Such decline on how children look up to their parents can be traced to the latter's lack of time to pay full attention to their children and establish bonding, says Maricel Laxa-Pangilinan, author of " Mommy Talk", and founder of the Parenting Company.

They told me that they had chanced upon the musings of different kids in my book Mommy Talk.  They had  a lot of laughs sharing different anecdotes from parents about their children’s kid speak.  I felt glad that they enjoyed that part and would like to share more of those wise sayings…from the mouths of babes.  But first let me share with you something interesting  I got in my e-mail.


Some great truths about life that children have learned:

                    [Summary] => When Maricel Laxa returned to the country from the US in the late 1980s to pursue a career in show business, the local entertainment scene didn’t seem ready for her. First of all, she had a twang. Then, her hair was dyed brown – the shade of which was the color of a dead rat. Her biggest disadvantage, however, was that she was forever being compared to her mother, actress Imelda Ilanan, who was always in the most beautiful faces list in the late ’60s.
