“Parent/family assistance with homework can be beneficial; however, parents may need suggestions for ways to work effectively with their children.”
- “An active teaching role for parents works well with elementary age students; while adolescents respond better when parents reinforce autonomy and students develop time management skills.” (Cooper, et al, 2000)
- ”It cannot be assumed that parents instinctively know how to involve themselves in their child’s education. In fact, many parents feel inadequate in teaching roles. Effective programs have taught parents how to create a home environment that encourages learning and how to provide support and encouragement to their children’s developmental level.” (Simmons, Stevenson & Strand, 1993)
