Tips for parents

Short, practical guides you can use today. No special material needed.

📱Screen time that teaches

  1. Choose apps without ads or chat, made for your child’s age.
  2. Set a clear limit before starting, and a timer the child can see.
  3. Play together sometimes: ask “What did you discover?”
  4. Link the screen to real life: after the ocean world, look for a fish at the market.
  5. No screens in the hour before bed: it helps sleep.

📖Reading at home in 10 minutes a day

  1. Read aloud every day, even to children who can already read.
  2. Let your child choose the book: interest beats difficulty.
  3. Point to words as you read, and stop to guess what happens next.
  4. Play with sounds: words that rhyme, words that start the same.
  5. Praise effort, not speed: “You worked hard on that word!”

🔢Everyday math games

  1. Count stairs, apples, cars: numbers are everywhere.
  2. Cook together: measuring cups teach fractions.
  3. Let your child pay at the shop and count the change.
  4. Ask “How did you find it?”: explaining builds real understanding.
  5. Board games with dice are math practice in disguise.

🧠Sleep, food and water help the brain

  1. Children aged 6 to 12 need about 9 to 12 hours of sleep; younger ones need more.
  2. During sleep the brain sorts what was learned during the day.
  3. A breakfast with fruit, grains and protein gives steady energy for the morning.
  4. Keep a water bottle within reach: thirst can feel like tiredness.
  5. Explore it together in the app’s Brain Command Center, then talk about your own day.
