All of us are children and as your parents age, it’s natural that they will sometimes become unable to do certain things. But this shouldn’t make you pull the plug on their daily activities; rather you should try to encourage them to remain active. Even if they are older, you should allow your parents to continue doing what they use to do, like walking, cleaning up and shopping just be sure that they use disposable diaper especially if they are suffering from incontinence. There are studies that say that the more active you are as you get older, the longer your life will be. Rather than becoming stagnant by remaining stuck in rocking chair. What you can do instead, is to be aware of what they’re doing and be on the look-out just in case they need assistance. Don’t push that they’re useless or helpless.

It’s also important to pay close attention to their health. The concept of health should start even before the person becomes older.

Going to the doctor for a general check-up, especially when your parents reach 60, is a good idea. It’s important to talk about health because we want to prevent the early onset of frailty, but the elderly are more open to the concept of wellness and getting a general check-up for no specific reason rather than telling them maybe we should have checked for dementia.

The most important thing of all, your relationship with your partner should also be mature enough to handle the uncertainties and frustrations of parenting.

It is actually of the US dollar’s weakness that the peso is appreciating. While it is true that the peso improved by about 16% against the dollar last year, the dollar prices of some imported commodities have increased at a much higher rate. For certain agricultural and other locally produced goods, the cost of production and distribution have also gone up higher than the appreciation with peso. Higher gasoline and diesel price, bad weather, and poor logistical infrastructure have caused the increase in product cost. On the other hand, prices of imported goods, particularly manufactured and agricultural commodities from other countries like China, have remained low, or even decreased.
