How do children learn?

Helping with homework

We learn by doing. Of course, as parents, we want to be there for our children-helping them out and making sure they have a "good life". By doing our children's homework for them (or even just getting frustrated and giving them an answer) we are doing our children a grave disservice. Teach your child early on about all the various resources available to us for answers: dictionary, encyclopedia, and reference books. If you do need to help your child, make sure she finds the answer within herself. Ask leading questions that will help her figure it out, or at least figure out where to look.
