1) Drink at least eight glasses of water every day Health is wealth. Water is essential to life, and it is important to drink lots of water daily. You can easily help your child keep track of his or her water intake with this water bottle and create your own bullet journal to track the progress.

2) Have a balanced diet You are what you eat. A balanced diet can help reduce the risk of health diseases. “My Healthy Plate” is an easy-to-understand visual guide that helps your child adopt healthier eating habits. A balanced diet consists of a quarter portion of carbohydrates, a quarter portion of protein, and half portion of fruits and vegetables.

3) Spend time outdoors at least once every week In order to achieve a balanced lifestyle, it’s important to incorporate some form of physical activity into our routine. Physical activities do not have to be strenuous. It can be as simple as taking a stroll, doing some light stretching, or cycling in the park.

4) Read a new book every month Reading helps your child to lay a good foundation in languages. Have your child pick a book at the start of each month and set aside a fixed time to read to your child, or have your child read it independently. Do it consistently at least once a week to cultivate good reading habits.

5) Regular revision Enrichment classes provide a platform for your child to reinforce what they have learned in school and gain knowledge outside of the school curriculum.
