1. Find After-School Clubs at School
After-school clubs give children a safe place to play, learn and make friends. They also help parents who work later.
What to do: Ask your child's school or check their website for a list of clubs and activities. Look at club times, costs and topics, then sign up your child for one or two that match their interests.
What do you need: You need your child's details, your contact information and, if needed, money for any club fees.
Outcomes: Your child will have regular after-school activities that support their skills and confidence.
Lifehack: Start with one club and add more later if your child enjoys it and the schedule works.
