Supporting your child's development and well-being is a collaborative effort between home and school. Here are some effective strategies for parents:

• Establish a Consistent Routine: Children thrive on predictability. Set regular times for homework, meals, and bedtime to provide structure.

• Encourage Open Communication: Create an environment where your child feels comfortable expressing their thoughts and feelings. Active listening fosters trust and understanding.

• Model Positive Behavior: Children often emulate their parents. Demonstrate kindness, patience, and resilience in daily interactions.

• Limit Screen Time: Set boundaries on the use of electronic devices to ensure a healthy balance between online and offline activities.

• Encourage Problem-Solving: Allow your child to face challenges and think critically to find solutions, fostering independence and confidence.
