            Parents and teachers alike struggle with the dilemma of how to help a student become independent.  We have learned that sometimes it’s good to step in with assistance, and other times it’s best to step back and allow students to work it out for themselves. 

            In one sense, the struggle is the lesson. 

            Developing every student’s confidence and promoting the self-initiative that will carry them on to life-long learning is not furthered by giving help when it isn’t really needed. 

            On the other hand, parents of adolescents don’t need to worry about stalling the natural desire of each young person to “cut the apron strings.”  Show them you’re willing to spend your time with them while they do their homework.
