Last summer, when 8-year-old Xiao Bao burst through the door holding that final exam paper marked "60," it was the first passing grade he'd earned in his two years of school — and the whole family's first big surprise.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Bao has already moved into third grade, and it's been nearly 18 months of taking one packet of Chienomoto No. 2 morning and night. As the slope of schoolwork suddenly steepened and the number of subjects grew, this child — who once struggled even with jump rope — is proving to us in a new way that "60" was only a starting point; real progress lies in the quiet, steady persistence of every single day.

A look back at the progress

Time point

Key improvements

Month 4

(April 2025)

Emotions stabilized, social interactions improved, fewer conflicts with classmates; a leap in athletics: jump-rope count jumped from 20 per minute to over 100.

Month 6

(June 2025)

Academic breakthrough: scored 60 on the final exam — one of only two passing grades since starting school — and regained his confidence.

Month 11

(November 2025)

Academic climb: scored 65.5 on a math test with the comment "showing progress"; athletic progress: began sticking with swimming training, physical fitness improved.

Month 15

(March 2026)

Athletic highlight: standard breaststroke form, praised by his coach; emotional self-control: managed to stay steady under third-grade academic pressure, without losing his temper.

Month 17

(June 2026)

Integrated medical and nutritional support: after the doctor adjusted his medication plan, he kept combining it with Chienomoto as support; progress on multiple fronts: athletic ability and emotional management continued to improve.

Saying goodbye to clumsiness: from "20 jump ropes" to "standard breaststroke"

The change in athletic ability was the most striking surprise of Xiao Bao's past year. In the past, PE class was a struggle for him — even 20 jump ropes a minute looked clumsy and effortful. In a recent update, Mom shared excitedly: "When it's cold out, he keeps up with swimming practice every day, and recently his swim coach praised how standard his breaststroke form is!"

From a clumsy boy on the playground to a "little flying fish" with textbook form in the pool — behind this leap lies not just a huge jump in fitness and coordination, but confidence taking root and growing. His improved athletic ability became the sturdiest step in building Xiao Bao's sense of self.

Emotional landing: a "steadying anchor" through the storm of third grade

Entering third grade, the difficulty of schoolwork suddenly increased. For many children, this is a stage that tends to bring on anxiety. But Mom was pleasantly surprised to find that, in the face of academic pressure, Xiao Bao's emotional control had made a real breakthrough. "Mainly it's about controlling his emotions and not losing his temper," Mom wrote in her update. Even facing ups and downs in his grades, Xiao Bao is no longer the child who would blow up at the slightest thing — he's learned to keep himself steady under pressure, and conflicts with teachers and classmates have decreased.

Climbing the academic slope: catching a glimmer of "progress" amid difficulty

Even though the knowledge system in third grade is more complex, Xiao Bao's schoolwork hasn't stalled. A math test marked with the comment "showing progress" confirms this change once again. His grades may not be top-tier yet, but both the child and his parents realize: the effort is headed in the right direction, and it's fine to go a little slower. As Mom put it: "For parents, all there is to do is keep going, and then keep going some more."

Ongoing care: scientific support and love that never gives up

Over this past year, Xiao Bao's medical plan has been fine-tuned under his doctor's guidance, but the support from Chienomoto has never stopped. "We're still using it together with Chienomoto, and hoping things keep getting better," Mom wrote in her month-17 update. This 18 months of persistence has confirmed that the "combined force" of a brain-function support food and professional medical intervention really works — what it provides isn't just nutritional support for the brain, but, over the long course of raising a child, a sense of confidence for both parent and child to keep holding on.

Xiao Bao's mom, in her own words

"Looking back on this year, seeing his smile when the coach praised him in the pool, I'm so glad we didn't back down in the face of difficulty. I used to think 60 was the finish line — now I understand it was really the starting point of our whole family's determination to climb the next mountain. Thank you to the science that's stood by us, and even more, thank you to that little man who keeps swimming, keeps reading, and never gives up."

Real growth is never something that happens overnight. When scientific support meets a love that never gives up, every small bit of progress paves a starlit road leading children toward their future. Persistence will, in the end, bloom into something even more beautiful.
