  • Encouraging their child to think, problem solve, make decisions through conversations or through play

  • Reading with their child and discussing the story after reading it

  • Encouraging their child to be independent and think for themselves

  • Taking an interest in their child's school work, attending parents evening, ensuring homework is completed and supporting their need
