When I was younger, I could skip most of the homework because I learned enough during class. The mandatory assignments were sometimes finished quickly just before I had to turn them in.
I didn't get the necessary practice and discipline to do independent work unless I did it for fun. This had to be learned the hard way when I grew older.
- MaKey 6y agoI had a similar experience. Please don't praise kids for being "smart", teach them that putting real effort into something will pay off.
- AstralStorm 6y agoYou need to do both. Don't be that stereotypical Asian parent, pushing and never praising. It works only sometimes, and the kids will curse you for their empty, wasted in third, life.
- axaxs 6y agoSame. In my experience, the relatively smart people in school who worked hard had more successful lives than the even smarter kids who didn't.
