[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Back in the 70's, I was the kid whose parents didn't help with projects and mine always sucked compared to the other kids and I was always embarrassed and really want my parents to help. So it's not a new thing, or a helicopter parent thing, or a competitive thing. Help your kid with the project.[/quote] My DD in first grade got so upset at me when she saw that other kids brought dioramas obviously completed by their parents. I expressed my confidence in her Ability to do a diorama and that the teacher knows whose parents do the project. She came home with the best grade he teacher can give in first grade with lots of complements from the teacher. Her confidence soared. She's 12 now and people still do their kids science projects. Like a 12 year old she rolls her eyes at them and we have a little laug. [/quote]
