Blog:  How to help children with homework!
How To Help: Provide Guidance   The basic rule is, "Don't do the assignments yourself." It's not your   homework--it's your child's. "I've had kids hand in homework that's in their   parents' handwriting," one Washington, DC-area eighth-grade teacher complains.   Doing assignments for your child won't help him understand and use information.   And it won't help him become confident in his own abilities.  It can be
  hard for parents to let children work through problems alone and learn from   their mistakes. It's also hard to know where to draw the line between  supporting  and doing.  Different teachers have different ideas about the
best way for  parents to provide guidance. Here are a few suggestions with which  most teachers  agree:
Figure Out How Your Child Learns Best.If you understand something about   the style of learning that suits your child, it will be easier for you to help   her.  If you've never thought about this style, observe your child. See
if  he works better alone or with someone else. If your child gets more done  when  working with someone else, he may want to complete some assignments with a   brother or sister or a classmate. (Some homework, however, is meant to be done   alone. Check with the teacher if you aren't sure.)  Other things to   consider about learning style:  Does your child learn things best when  she  can see them? If so, drawing a picture or a chart may help with some   assignments. For example, after reading her science book, she may not remember   the difference between the tibia and the fibula. But by drawing a picture of  the  leg and labeling the bones, she can remember easily.  Does your child   learn things best when he can hear them? He may need to listen to a story or   have directions read to him. Too much written material or too many pictures or   charts may confuse him.
Does your child understand some things best when   she can handle or move them? An apple cut four or six or eight ways can help   children learn fractions.   (taken from:  kidsource.com)
