Parental involvement plays a significant role in a child’s learning and academic success. The following activities provide parents natural opportunities to support their child's learning journey in addition to formal schooling.

• Establish routine activities that increase your interactions with your child, such as reading, writing, playing games, cooking together, drawing and painting, and other household chores. Every activity is an opportunity to learn naturally.
• Go for a nature walk. It is one of the best ways to connect your child with the world around them. Being outdoors with your children creates many opportunities for learning naturally about math and science, exploring arts and crafts, and developing language and social skills.
• Developing fluency in numeracy is best done by encouraging mental calculations, measuring lengths, checking time frequently, keeping records, classifying things, and involving your child in learning to shop on a given budget. These are all practical and natural ways of supporting your child to widen their knowledge base.
• Develop the habit of practising the four A's of gratitude (Appreciation, Approval, Admiration, and Attention).
• Set a regular time for meditation and prayers.
