Do you assist your children in their studies and extra curricular activities?

Soon after reaching home from office, I will sit with my 3 yr old kid who is going to pre-school and teach him and help him in doing his Homework. Since he is too young to be taught in formal way, I make stories out of the pictures in his School book so that he doesn't feel that I am boring him and indirectly he is learning new words as well.

of course, i assist my children in the studies and extra curricular activities. my son is very interesting in chess. so, i use to drop and pickup him to the classes. regularly atleast 1hr. i will be with him forthe studies. then only he can get good marks. thankyou.

Yeah,i help my children in studies and extra-curricular activities.They won't do any work without me.They are like my friends,nither i scold them nor i get irritated.

Hello Buchi_bulla. When my son was in his primary school, I taught him a lot how to write compositions. He was very happy for my teaching him. Gradually he learned how to write on his own. When he was in his junior high school, I taught him English during the summer and winter vacation. But ever since he was a senior high student, I did not teach him anything about his subject because he is always busy with his classes in the school, leaving me no chance to teach him. He has to study all by himself and from the teachers. Of course, my wife is a great help to him when he was in the primary school and junior high school. She did more help to my son than I did. We were both happy to help our son with his study. Take care, friend.

Yes. I used to help my children in their studies, craft, extra curricular activities and games. I used to help them in all the ways possible. I won't scold them. While playing with them according to their mood, i will teach them and make them learn things.

You are right Buchi, one of the roles of a parent is to assist/instruct your children with homework, and take an active interest in all their extra curricular activities. Notice I said "help" with homework, not do it for them. Parents can often get frustrated and end up doing the work for the child just to get it done and over with. This can hurt the child in the long run as they fail to learn the subject at hand. Parenting can be quite easy: Good parenting takes hard work, time and effort.

being a student , my parents used to be so busy in their own work, so they were not able to help me in my studies or co-activities.We all did our work by ourselves except on weekends my father used to check our development in studies and used to get a hard blow and shoutings from him.

Yes. I helped my daughter with her school work also. She always had alot of it daily. She wpuld bring it home and have to have help with it because she did not understand alot of it.

I find that helping my daughter with her homework and being very supportive of her extracurricular endeavours are my favorite part of being her mother. We sit at the table every night and work together on her homework (she is in first grade). I volunteered with her Girl Scout Troop last year and this year am planning on doing what I can with them. Being as supportive as I can of my children is important to me because it shows them that we care. It shows them that the decisions that they make are important to me as a parent.

the answer of the questions can be easily found out by looking into the child's academics!children reflected the manner taught by his/her parents towards him! most of the children fails to shine in the academics because of the reason itself.this dhould be avoided anyhow!

well i'm not a parent but when i was younger i always wanted my parents to help me do my homework but unfortuanaley they were always to busy to help out. i think it's a good thing for the parents to show patience because well.. your the parents.
