Tips for Parents

• Explore age-appropriate sites first and build a short daily routine (10–20 minutes).

• Mix subjects – combine maths, literacy, science, and creative activities for balance.

• Learn together – children are more motivated when parents are involved.

• Use games and videos to make learning active and enjoyable.
