How Involved You Should Be In Your Child's Studies

The other day a very perplexed parent asked me -

“How involved should I be in my child’s studies?

There appear to be no straightforward answers. Too involved is bad and so is uninvolved. How do I know where the line lies?”

Here is what I suggest –

1. Know what your child is studying so that you can have conversations about it.

2. Be involved enough to ask – “Do you need help with this?” every day.

3. Be engaged enough to chalk out a plan for learning and revising.

4. Be available to change the plan if required.

​Children typically overestimate their ability and underestimate the syllabus. Be involved to the extent that you can help your child overcome that hurdle.
