Answer 2

Although you'll want to give all the support possible to your children, don't do their homework or even parts of their homework for them. Teachers know when an essay isn't a child's work, and dealing with this is difficult. It's very hard for a teacher to talk with a parent about such a situation, and it's hard for the parent and child, too. Sometimes you may think if your child just changes a part here and there or uses your ideas, the essay or project will be better. It will probably be better, but this sends the following messages to your child:

You will do your child's work.
Your child's work isn't good enough.

Probably the best advice is to set standards for accurate, timely, and neat homework and to check to make sure your children are fulfilling the standards. Many children may benefit from your help with drilling and reviewing math facts, spelling words, vocabulary, possible test questions, etc. You might want to read over essays and reports reminding your children to make corrections. Don't try to put the essay or report into your words, but instead give constructive advice about correcting spelling, organization, errors in content, etc.

It always helps, if your child is scheduled for a presentation for you to have the child present to you. Your children will usually be very proud of their work and will want to share special reports with you.


So in answer to your question how much time/help should I give?
This depends on each child's grade level and study habits. Younger students often need extra homework help. First, make sure the child understands the directions. Do a few problems together, then watch your child do a few. When your child is finished, check the work. Praise right answers, and show how to correct mistakes.

Avoid doing your children's homework for them. Teachers need to see where your children are having trouble.

One of the most helpful things you can do is to show your children that you think homework is important. Many children today do their homework while their parents are at work. When you are at home, ask to see your children's homework and discuss it with them. Ask questions and be supportive.

Parents should always be involved in their childrens education.They should help with homework,and also school work.They should also volunteer in school functions.Parents that are involved tend to know more about whats going on in their childrens lives,and stand to be great role models.The children know they can speak to their parents about almost anything,and learn how to depend on their parents for help when needed.Its not about how much time is spent helping the children.Time shouldn't be a factor and no parent should spend the time they are helping their children,looking at the clock.Thats like visiting a therapist and having them say times up,see you next week.Parents can't always be there to help,therefore they should ask a tutor to be there when they can't to make sure their children get a good education,and don't put all the stress on the teachers.

Answer 4

No this is not true, any parent that cares about their child or children will do what ever it takes to stand by and with this child and maybe even go learn their selves to see to this child does there home work, and to make sure it is correct. So there is no time limit, go to the teacher, principal what ever it takes. It would be worth it. KNOWLEDGE it the GREAT ticket to success and survival in the real world.OH! don't do their homework for them this is not help.

Answer 5

They should supervise and guide as their children do their homework. This could take 15 minutes or 3 hours, depending on the assignment and their child's willingness to complete the assignment and their ability to work independently. There is no formula since each child is very unique.

This can be done while cooking dinner as the child sits by you in the kitchen, etc. It's a great time to get closer to your kids.

Answer 6

As many hours as the child needs help. Not all children need help with their homework. Not helping your child do homework because they think it's the teachers job is the lazy parents excuse. Give your child every opportunity to succeed in school and help them. Homework is supposed to be done 'at home'. teachers have enough to worry about with growing classes and shrinking incomes.

Answer 7

Well, it depends on the age of the child and the grade I guess. My students (2nd grade) should not have to spend more than 30 min. on homework each night. I tell parents if it takes longer that that, then there's a problem. But overall: Parents should spend as much time as needed to help their children with homework. Period.

Answer 8

My daughter and I went to a class here in our hometown. That particular teacher said 10 minutes for every grade they are in. (So if there in 5th grade, they should do homework for 50 minutes)

I don't think it should be left up to the teachers because they have your child all day long. If a parent does not participate, the child is more likely to fail. It's good for the parent to be involved with their children's school work.

Answer 9

Being a former high school student and a prospective math teacher, I would suggest you help your child understand the subject itself, rather than the homework. If your child is still not understanding what to do, I would suggest contacting his teacher to find out if there could be a problem (not paying attention during class, lack of teacher participation, etc.).
Overall, I would think one hour being a sufficient amount of time. If that does not work I highly suggest that you call his/her teacher to understand what is going on.
Good luck!

Answer 10

1 My position on homework is that it should not exist. We should raise the bar for our children while they are at school. When they are at home, that should be family time.
2 However, I know the idea of homework will not change in the near future.
3 More important than the amount of time you help your children is simply making yourself available to help them. Let them know you are willing and able to help when there is need.

Answer 11

It is very important for parents to help there children with homework....not only does it help the child if they are strangling it could help them to get ahead....in addition to the help it will help you to get a bond with your child or make it stronger if you lucky enough to already have one..as to how long you should spend each day that would depend on how much homework that they have and what it is that they need help with.
