As parents we have a decision to make, how much do we help with homework. Is it on time? Is it complete? Is it correct? Do we allow them to suffer the consequences? If they are confused, we must help, but doing it for them is not help. To assist, we must discover where they are uncertain; do they need more information, what are the directions asking them to do or sometimes suggest they take a break and come back to it later. The most important part is that they not fall behind, if absent – get the work from a friend or the teacher’s blog. Study class notes every evening, maybe rewrite them, this will keep the information organized and easier to remember. Finally give praise to a job well done and thank them for the hard work.
