At Home You Can:
Explore books related to the theme. By reading story books and making your home a print rich space, you will improve your child’s ability to master new learning.
Do encourage your child to share their views on the stories and movies that they may have heard or seen. Ask questions and listen to him/her attentively. It will build his/her confidence and enhance his/her self-esteem. Your child’s effort needs a lot of appreciation and positive affirmations to ensure good progress.
Talk to your child about the importance of pollution control by opting for a car pool or using public modes of transport as and when possible. Set an example for your child by switching off the ignition when stopping at signals and by following traffic rules and explaining to them the objective of the same.
