Singapore's bilingual education policy means children need to be proficient in both English and their Mother Tongue. Here's how you can help at home.

1. Designate Language Times — Set specific times for English and Chinese conversations at home. For example, dinner time could be Chinese-speaking time.

2. Leverage Media — Watch English and Chinese shows, listen to podcasts, and read books in both languages to create natural exposure.

3. Make It Fun — Play bilingual board games, do crossword puzzles, or have storytelling sessions in both languages.

4. Be Patient and Encouraging — Language learning takes time. Celebrate small wins and avoid criticizing mistakes, which can discourage your child.

5. Partner with Tutors — Work closely with your child's tuition teachers to understand areas of weakness and reinforce learning at home.
