More does not mean better
As a parent, you want the best for your child. You want them to succeed and excel in every aspect of life. However, you need to be aware of the delicate balance between too much and too little when it comes to extra-curricular activities. While it is important for your child to be involved in activities outside of school, it is equally important to not overdo it.
Research shows that children who are over-scheduled with extracurricular activities are at a higher risk of burnout. The pressure to perform well in multiple activities can take a toll on their mental and physical health. It can also lead to poor academic performance and a lack of motivation.

Importance of clear and consistent communication between parents and teachers
Effective communication is key to building a strong relationship with both parents and teachers. Communication helps to keep everyone informed about a child's progress, any issues that may arise, and what can be done to support them. There are correct and appropriate ways in which clear communication can be carried out to benefit your child, including key questions that will help greatly for both parties.
First and foremost, it is important to establish a regular communication routine with both parents and teachers. This can be done through email, phone calls, Whatsapp or in-person meetings. At KLC (Kiddikraft Learning Centre), we have various open means to communicate with parents and vice versa.
