I believe that it is intuitive for most of us to offer help - the human heart does not like to see struggle or pain - but it is a difficult choice to know when help is harmful. Another interesting observation, I don't have children but have seen the homework given to my nieces/nephews and friends children which all ends up being homework for the parents too. I wonder what test scores would look like if parents did not "help" so much. :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971459039767092235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655570.post-23403908999939645302009-04-04T22:41:00.000-04:002009-04-04T22:41:00.000-04:00Phil, I agree that it can be so difficult to wait ...Phil, I agree that it can be so difficult to wait while others work through something that you could solve in a second.
