          1. Lead them to devotion - mingling with angels and saints. Manaoag, Pangasinan

2. Keep them far away from obese-setting characters.

 3. Encourage them to participate in on-the-spot-paintings; it's wholesome  experience. QC 

 4. Encourage them to participate in stage play. Deities love humans.  Keep their habitat undisturbed.   

5. Help them understand nature's ways. They should not touch the hive of wild bees. UPLB Museum of Natural History, Mt Makiling, Laguna. 

6. Take them to cultural shows like the Pahiyas.  Local beauty parade.

  11. Introduce them early to the arts

 12. Give them a role under the mask - for them to act according to the character. Drama at home and in school.

 13. Frolic, its children's play, no one is really hurt.

 14. Anything is affordable, it's only in the mind. Bath tub is a also swimming pool.

15. When the bamboos creak, it's the children and the dwendes playing.   

16.  Develop their natural resistance and immunity. Give them the whole summer - and beyond - to have vacation. All study and no play make a dull boy.

17. Ingrain in their mind, happy living is simple living and vice versa, as a philosophy. 

18. Take them for a walk, for an ice cream, or just for company.  

19. Take them to the farm, and make them farmhand for a while.
