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?
Of course the child can resent their parent for not helping them. Especially the Kids of today. One day the kid is going to be a full fledged adult and say, "Why didn't you go back to school?" Technology is here and our children are its ringleaders. The curriculum requirements goes higher as the children get younger. By the time my daughter is attending college, online courses and online tutorials are going to be part of everyday use. A parent cannot keep using the "I didn't have time to go to school because I had to stay home" excuse. Online classes and time management can make it happen.

ReplyDeletemos def! most children already resent the fact they have to do the homework so the rentment is already there! so imagine how they feel if the parent is of no help cause they dont have a clue themselves (agrreing with DOM O KYSS! Maybe the question may be do they even need us anymore with the tchnology they have today compared to our resources back then?
