I'd just set a time or level limit with my kid, where if the level of the problem is higher than whatever, or if the kid spends more than 10 minutes on the problem but isn't close to solving it, you just give up and read the solution. Trying to understand and work through the alcumus provided solution is another great way to learn math.
that's a good tip, thanks. i was the type of kid who would rather spend 5 hours on a problem then look at the solution. my kid is the same. it really slowed down my learning so this is a good strategy.
