Planning Engaging Weekend Activities:

  5. READ AND LEARN: Dedicate time to read books together, exploring new stories and topics that interest your child. Reading supports language development and encourages a love for learning. Pair reading with library visits for a broader selection.
  6. PLAY AND RELAX: Engage in your child’s favorite games or activities, whether it’s board games, puzzles, or sports. Relaxing and playing together provides stress relief for both you and your child, reinforcing the fun side of your relationship.
