My kids seem to have the appropriate amount of homework for their grades, but I am wondering how much I should need to help out with their homework? Do most Moms have to help their kids with their work? When I was a kid my mom never reminded us or helped us unless we asked, which wasn't too often. Is the work harder? Or are some kids more lazy? I would prefer them to do as much of their own work as possible. How much help do you think a child should need with homework (if any)??

I tell my kids to do it themselves, or to at least try. I offer to check it and with some kids I have to check it cause they lie about doing it! If they ask for help, I will help, but I won't give them the answer. If they won't listen when I am trying to help them, then I won't help them anymore.

I do tend to have to remind my 10 year old (4th grade.) Though he really doesn't have that much. 15 minutes or so of math daily, spelling (get words Monday with a test on Friday) and periodic tests to study for.
He does the math himself unless he is having problems with it and then I will help. I do check it when he is done. I quiz him on the spelling words and review the study guide for tests with him. I think it really comes down to the particular child. My younger two both start kindergarten next year and I suspect one will sail through school with very little studying and the other will most likely struggle some and have to work at it a lot more. (With more help and more reminding.) |
