6. TOO MUCH PARENT INVOLVEMENT. Some parents are overly involved in their child’s homework. Here are the three most common types, all of whom tend to drive their children toward lying and deception. If any of these describe you, then work to change your behavior. A. The “perfectionist parents.” Perfectionists demand picture-perfect-homework. Their children hate to let them see their homework papers out of fear that they will judge the work unworthy, tear it up, and make them do it again. Besides being tedious and time demanding, in these extreme cases it is downright disrespectful of the child. B. The “helicopter parents.” These parents hover over their children, making sure that every “t” is crossed and every “i” is dotted. They think they’re being helpful, but here’s the problem: By not giving their children any breathing room, they are delivering the tacit message that their children are not capable of doing the work themselves.
