Do you help your children in doing homework?

Yes, I have 5 children two in college now and I still continue to help with homework when I can. I am not sure where you are from but here in the US our teachers expect the parent to help in the childs education and in not doing so you it would hurt them. The need to learn from you of couse not that you should be doing it for them or giving them the answers but helping to teach them.

Yes, I do help my son do home work not by doing the task myself but guiding him through. and that is the way one should have. But ironically many parents do the task themselves for their kids. this in =s not fair.

I don't think it hurts to help the children to understand the concepts involved if they don't understand them, but once they do they should finish the assignment to the best of their own ability. Standing over the child as he does the homework to make sure it's absolutely correct isn't a good thing, though. The teacher is right in a way--we do learn from our own mistakes!

My dad once helped me to do my homework, as definitely I couldn't finish it in time. He helped me draw a picture, and he told me I should learn do my homework when I came back home and didn't wait until too late. So it was the only time he helped me to DO my homework, I have learnt I should schedule my time very well. Have a nice day. If I will have kids, I think it depends whether he/she needs my helps, but of course do the homework for them is absolutely not the best way to help them to grow and to learn.

If a child is stuck on homework helping them/ teaching them how to do it is just the same thing as they do in school. doing it for them is another issue but helping them is encouraging and increasing there educational welbeing.

I help my children do homework by guiding them, I first explain to them what they need to do, then I would do the first and second question with them and then I let them do the next one by themselve and then I gradually let them do all the rest alone and every few minutes I would go over and ask them if they need help. This method has worked very well for me.

yes i have 2 children that are in school and one has a lot of problems so if he asks for help i will help him , i think the teacher is just crazy for wanting him to try to figure it out himself if he dont understand it that makes no sence.
