Child Parenting vs. Teen parenting pt. 2.
It feels good as a parent to sit down with your child, and help them with their homework…
the first few years is great, watching your child put their first sentences together…however,
what happens when your child advances in school, and they bring home, homework that’s
above your comprehension because you left school, for what ever reason. What
you do when your child needs help with math, or reading and sits there frustrated because they do not understand.
In one scenario, the child can become discouraged, and maybe even drop out
of school in the near future, in which we see too many times…in another scenario, the child can excel, overcome the odds, become college grads, and do great things with their lives.
The question I pose is;
Would your child resent you if you can’t help them with their homework when they ask for help?
