My parents never did my homework for me... They could only help me, especially if I asked them. I think that a child should be more creative, and to achieve that you can only show him the way to do some things but not do everything for him... Moreover, he or she shouldn't be resting while you are trying to help him. If he wants you to help him, he must feel himself the center of the group and not the by-stander...

Kim_Berly, I agree. And also I think that parents can spoil their child by this way. But I knew a family in which mother did all the homework of the son. The relatives laughed and said that Vera (that is her name)was "in the 7th (8th and so on) grade". My mother helped me, but not in this way. Moreover, when I studied in the 8th grade, she said that she didn't understood anything, that it was too difficult for her, 'cause there weren't such difficulties when she had studied)

Jelllyjam, you know, it was even difficult for me when my parents helped me about my homework coz I didnt understand anything when they tried to explain something to me. I can be very careless and it takes time to teach me something. When I don't understand something I can get nervous and all that... And they got nervous as well...And me became even more nervous and all this ended up in a quarrell... ))) So I'd rather do everything myself now!))) And I agree with you that doing your child's homework can spoil him or her a lot! (((

Kim_Berly, well, I can understand something quickly, but if I don't inderstand, I begin to think that I'm stupid and all this stuff is not for me, and it's not my way and that I'll never understand this. But it's not for a long time, fortunately)

My mother sometimes helps me with algebra:)
