Struggling with how to get across long summaries with children - try out using codes or abbreviations for the captions. This works very well and help children to recall.
E.g If planning, coordination and implementation are three functions you can use - PCI as shortcut to help kids to recall

No matter how older your children grow, they need your time.
Infant: Full-time need for all activities.
Children: Full-time need for daily chores and school activities
Teenagers: Part-Time Need to listen to their stuff if at all we as parents show interest in their type of activities.
Young Adult: Partially part-time to still hear their stuff.
As a parent just don't be the facilitator, be a good listener as they grow up. Along with this give flexible plans to children.
This builds their confidence in the parents.

Want to know what's going on in your kids mind ?
Try out to understand their needs and imaginations by simply having a conversation for around 10 mins a day. The topic can be any day to day activity like what your friends bring in their lunch box, who is their favorite teacher, what color or design of the bed spread you like.. the list can go on. Kids start opening up with you, It takes some time, but it works.

A quick game with kids of age 4-12 years. Both you and your kid have a blank page. Tell some word, both of you draw picture you imagined. This improves the imagination skill. Some words I have used are---
Cake, ice-cream, table, girl, boy, bag .... any common object they use can be given. Some drawings by my 10year old child.😀

Everyday Visualization
Let the child summarize what events happened the whole day. This should be done in a fun way. The child will get a chance to express and as a parent we can set new targets based on this. Well, this works out with kids of age 5-10 yrs.
For teenagers, we need to start expressing our own day. Than they open up.

Kids lack finger strength??
Give them clay or theraputti to make some interesting art work. If these things are not available, give them wheat flour and ask them to prepare small roti. This acts wonder as they try to imitate you and we get the achievement.
Roti making works with elderly kids as well.

Role play to get across the day to day needed concepts, is the best way. We tried with small concepts of Banking like withdrawal. Worked out well.
