We speak Tamil at home. So I thought we were fine.

More drills is more of exactly what already isn't working. A language survives when a child has a reason to speak it after school.
A parent captures one real thing their child did. Five minutes later the family is talking — in Tamil, Chinese or Malay.
The screen goes quiet and waits while the child does something real in the room.
One prompt, one big button — a parent or grandparent finishes the story out loud.
A safety gate sits between the pipeline and the child — nothing reaches child mode without passing it and the parent.
