Yogyakarta, July 2, 2019 - The Danone business group in Indonesia is realizing its commitment to support maternal health and the development of Indonesian children by presenting a new face of outdoor rides in Taman Pintar, namely the Taman Menari Water Park. This vehicle provides an opportunity for children to explore outside the room while honing the child's motor skills and imagination. In line with the recent National Family Day celebrations, the Menari Water Park can also encourage a healthy family lifestyle that needs to be started early.

"Wahana Taman Menari Water is the latest support from Danone in Indonesia for children and families in Yogyakarta. Complementing various continuing education programs and other educational facilities that are already present in Taman Pintar, this support is one of the manifestations of Danone One Planet One Health's mission, which is to bring health to as many people as possible in the world through nutrition, healthy hydration, clean living behavior and healthy, to regular physical activity. "said Karyanto Wibowo, Danone Indonesia's Sustainable Development Director.

Dancing Water Park is a children's play area located in an outdoor area (outdoor) Taman Pintar, where children can freely do a variety of water games available. This initiative departs from Danone's concern in Indonesia to provide adequate play facilities that can provide opportunities for children to have physical activity.

Riskesdas data for 2018 shows that 33.5% of Indonesian people over the age of 10 lack physical activity. In fact, physical activity is useful for body fitness, also helps stimulate fine motor, gross motor, and absorption of nutrients that are needed in the growth and development of children.

dr. May Neni Sitaresmi, PhD, SpA (K), Pediatrician explained, "The period of growth and development of children starts from the first 1000 days of life that is from the time of conception in the womb until the age of two years. This period is then continued in pre-school, school, until adolescence. Optimal growth and development early in life will support growth, development and health at a later stage. For that reason, proper nutrition and stimulation support from the beginning becomes an important foundation so that children grow and develop optimally according to their potential. "

Furthermore, dr. May added that it is important for parents to support a healthy lifestyle in the family by accustoming the consumption of balanced nutrition and sufficient physical activity as one form of stimulation to the Little One. Wahana Water Park Dancing can certainly encourage children to move actively and provide gross motor stimulation, fine motor, social, and cognitive that can stimulate their development.

"Keep in mind that healthy nutrition coupled with a body that moves a lot early can reduce the risk of various diseases in the future such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension and heart disease. In addition, active motion also helps optimize the metabolic processes in the body and brain development. "Added dr. May.

Meanwhile, to introduce children to healthy food, Dr. Mei said that children over 2 years of age can follow the contents of My Pirates, which consists of a combination of 50% fruit and vegetables, as well as 50% carbohydrates and protein by prioritizing animal protein and varied food sources. In addition, parents can be a good example for children by involving children when choosing and preparing food, and creating a pleasant atmosphere at the dinner table, also limiting the use of gadgets and TV watching time.

Since 2004, Danone in Indonesia through PT Sarihusada Generasi Mahardhika (Sarihusada) has continued to provide various facilities and programs in Taman Pintar to support optimal growth and development of children in Yogyakarta, including through the management of Early Childhood Education (PAUD), provision of Wahana Trail Nutrition, and Wahana Zone for Water Goodness.

Until now, various facilities and programs presented by Danone in Taman Pintar have reached more than 26,000 children and mothers in Yogyakarta, "said Afia Rosdiana Mpd, Head of Yogyakarta Smart Park Management.

The presence of the Dancing Water Park Wahana was also welcomed by Sarah Diorita, the mother of one child who often visited Taman Pintar. "As a mother, one of the challenges of parenting today is the ease of access to technology such as through gadgets and the reduction of open space facilities in the surrounding environment, which makes the child's time to be physically active and interact with peers."

"I welcome the presence of rides such as the Dancing Water Park in Taman Pintar because it can support parents in giving children the opportunity to play in open spaces, while at the same time teaching the importance of a healthy family lifestyle directly in a pleasant atmosphere.
