September 30 ------ Marian Rivera believes in leading by example when it comes to teaching her children about self-love and self-care. As a mom of two kids — Zia and Sixto — and wife to Dingdong Dantes, she knows that her actions speak louder than words. How can she tell her kids to take care of themselves if they see their mom neglecting her own self-care, she said.
“Sabi ko nga, as a mom and asawa ni Dong, kailangan ako mismo, kumpleto ako at mahal ko ang sarili ko at nakikita ng mga anak ko ‘yan. Kasi, paano ko i-implement sa mga anak ko ‘yan na, ‘Alagaan n’yo ang sarili ninyo, kailangan maayos kayo kapag lalabas,’ kung nakikita nila yung nanay nila hindi nag-aayos?”
By regularly taking care of herself, Marian believes her kids will naturally learn to do the same as they grow up, understanding the importance of self-care and self-love by simply watching her. “Even without saying anything, my kids already see how I take care of myself, and for sure, when they grow up, they’ll do the same. Modeling kumbaga. She continued, “Yun din ang sinasabi ko na gusto ko rin i-extend sa mga tao, na kung anuman ang trabaho, huwag mong kalilimutan ang sarili mo. Babae ka man o lalaki ka man, kailangan talaga inaalagaan mo yung sarili mo kasi doon nagsisimula ang lahat.” “So, mahalagang-mahalaga na binibigyan mo ng importansiya ang sarili mo bago ang lahat.”
