I done have kids myself :) but ma parents used to help me with my homework. Did your parents do the same? Or if you are a parent yourself, Do you help your children with their homework? Do you think that is right? I didnt find a problem with being helped in ma work :) What do you feel?

I didn't have help as a child but I absolutely help my daughter. Every night we work on her school work together. I do not do her homework but I help her. She has very good grades and tests well, so I think we are on the right track.

If you do not help your children with their homework,who will do it? A real man has to make sure his son is doing great in school by assisting him everyday when it is time to study.Sometimes,the kid can not understand a lesson from the teacher but at home parent can explain to him in their own languages and other words and the kid will understand better. We all need to help our children in their homework but we can not do the class homework for them because we will make them become lazy.So we can teach them again their lessons but not do their homeworks.

yes I will confess to helping my sons with their homework but not to the point of doing it for them I would find the answer to (lets say a science question)in a paragraph than I would make the boys read the paragraph to find the answer to the question

My oldest just started preschool so she doesn't really have homework yet. When she does I'll help her if she needs it. My parents always helped me with my homework. But they didn't do it for me. My dad used to help me, but he would make me work it out on my own to make sure I understood it. I'll do the same for my kids. If I can, they have to learn a lot more then I remember learning when I was in school.

When I was a student, my mom helped me to do the homework as there were many homework and I was unable to finish them. I think my mom is very kind. I don't think it's a bad thing. As the homework was just so heavy. If I could keep my scores well, so it's not a big deal that my mom helped me to do some homework in my opinion. One day when my son grows up and if he has heavy homework, I will also try to help him, too. I think we need more understanding parents rather than strict ones. I love China

well, I do help when it is necessary like projects that need to be done in a short deadline. But all the rest, the kids are doing it themselves.I Just assist them when they need it.
