insider:Parents please. If you have to scold your child while teaching / coaching him in his schoolwork, then it's high time to wash your hands off and let someone takes over it. Totally agree with this statement. I feel less stressed up over DS' work after getting him a student care centre that provides tuition. They ensure he does his homework daily and also make him study for his tests. When he returns home, it's just to eat, play and sleep. I have one less person to worry about.The thing with kids is, when a teacher tells him to do the work, they do it without complaining. When the mom tells him to do the same piece of work, he groans, acts dumb and tries to become dependent.
