For parents who deeply care about their children’s future, the journey often involves making numerous decisions—especially regarding nutrition, one of the most crucial factors in a child’s growth and development.

One example includes working parents who rely heavily on fast food due to time constraints, which can lead to digestive issues and nutrient deficiencies in their children.

In another case. information related to children's nutrition and developmental needs is increasingly accessible through various social media platforms. However, the abundance of content—ranging from evidence-based guidance to unverified claims—requires parents to exercise discernment in evaluating and selecting credible sources. Making well-informed decisions about a child's nutritional intake is essential, as it plays a critical role not only in supporting their current growth and development but also in shaping their long-term health and well-being.

These examples show that choosing the right nutritional foundation in a child’s early years is, therefore, of paramount importance.

Recognizing the challenges parents face, Kalbe Nutritionals through Morinaga launched the ‘Your Choice, Their Future’ campaign a reminder that today’s small decisions shape tomorrow’s opportunities.

As one of Indonesia’s leading children’s milk brands, Morinaga encourages parents to be intentional in providing the right attention, stimulation, and nutrition all essential for unlocking a child’s full potential.

The initiative aims to remind parents that every small step taken today, from giving proper attention and appropriate stimulation to selecting the right nutrition, has a long-term impact on shaping a child’s future.

Morinaga’s Senior Brand Manager, Kenty Novita Pratiwi, emphasized: “A child’s growth moments are irreplaceable. Morinaga believes that a child's future isn’t built by chance, but by millions of small decisions made by parents. Morinaga want to inspire with confidence to every parent that every choice, no matter how small, is a step toward a brighter future.

With a forward-thinking approach, Morinaga introduces a campaign that emphasizes how a child’s brightest future starts with intentional choices today. By focusing on three critical areas—attention, stimulation, and nutrition—the campaign inspires parents to take an active role in shaping their children’s developmental journey.

Attention plays a vital role in shaping a child’s emotional and psychological development. in emotional presence directly affects a child's development,” noted Prof. Dr. Rose Mini Agoes Salim, a renowned child psychologist.

Reisa Broto Asmoro, celebrity and health advocate, echoed this sentiment: “As a mom, I realize that every choice I make today becomes an investment in my child’s future. Every attentive step helps them grow into confident individuals ready to face the world.”

However, attention alone is not enough. Prof. Rose Mini explained that proper stimulation, especially in the first 1,000 days, is critical. Learning through play and meaningful interaction helps activate a child’s talents and cognitive abilities.

Nutrition: The Building Block

The final key is nutrition, the building block of both physical and cognitive development. Dr. Muliaman Mansyur, Health Communicator for Kalbe Nutritionals, highlighted: “Providing optimal nutrition early in life is vital for brain development, physical strength and long-term health. The food choices parents make now directly affect a child’s preparedness for the future.”

Indonesia is committed to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2035, which are closely linked to its efforts to become an advanced nation as part of the Toward Indonesia Emas 2045 vision. This commitment underscores the importance of developing human resources, vital assets for national progress, by ensuring proper nutrition from early childhood.
