  • The event included nutrition education and fun activities, emphasizing the role of mothers as primary educators.
  • Experts highlighted the importance of early stimulation, emotional support, and proper nutrition during a child's golden age for cognitive and creative development.

A vibrant coloring competition held at Sleman City Hall in Yogyakarta recently brought together children and families for a day of creative engagement and educational activities. The event was further enlivened by the presence of Luisa Adreena, an actress from the film 'Na Willa,' who interacted with attendees and shared her enthusiasm for meeting children and families.

The initiative, supported by SGM Eksplor, is part of a commitment to foster the optimal growth and development of Indonesian children. Head of SGM, Anissa Ardiella Putri, noted that many Indonesian mothers aspire for their children to be more responsive, confident, and future-ready. She emphasized that mothers play a crucial role not only in caregiving but also as the first educators, shaping how children learn, think, and express themselves from an early age.

Through creative activities like drawing and coloring, children can receive positive stimulation to support their cognitive development, imagination, and creativity, while also fostering self-confidence from an early age, much like the characters depicted in the film 'Na Willa.'
