[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing is these type of parents really and truly think they are doing their job. You simply can't convince them otherwise. A friend says her high school daughter is really anxious about school and that's just her personality. I refrain from reminding her how she reviewed and corrected her child's schoolwork every night in elementary and middle school and supervised every project and science fair. She thought her husband was actually neglectful because he didn't do it. [/quote]
Nothing wrong with checking HW to make sure your kid understands the material,  but I draw the line at getting involved in projects, unless it's something the child really does need help with.  Luckily, my kids have done their own projects with very minimal help/guidance from me.

One time I tried to make suggestions on  a project to my DS, and he started to get agitated so I backed off.  Sometimes he does take suggestions, though. I think that's important for them to learn, too, the ability to take criticism and suggestions.[/quote]
