[quote=Anonymous] You don't need to say anything, unless your child becomes uncomfortable, and then you say that it's the effort that counts. As a scientist and PTA STEM organizer, I tell families that it doesn't matter what help their kid receives as long as they understand the topic and can answer questions about it. I prefer a kid coming in with a messy project but a perfect grasp of the subject matter, than a picture perfect product (done by either chil or parent - some kids have such wonderful artistic and fine motor skills!) but one which the kid has imperfectly understood. As the parent of a child with a fine-motor disability... I really hope other families don't get upset when I do the work for my youngster. He conceives and completely understands the concepts, but needs my hands. He even had a scribing accommodation at one point, but you'd never guess that about him. So no snap judgements please.
