Do you consider yourself an involved parent? Do you check your kids' homework and make sure they're doing well in school? Actively fill up your kids' schedule with sports or extra-curricular activities like music lessons, dance lessons etc? In this week's show, host Chiao Kee Lim speaks with psychologist Dr. Peter Haiman about parents' role in children's academic and extra-curricular activities. Listen in for the answers to the following questions: • What role should parents be playing when it comes to their children's academic and extra-curricular activities? • Should parents choose their children's activities or should kids do it themselves? • Should parents set expectations about children's grades and academic achievements? • What do you do if your child is not interested in school? • Should parents encourage children to be competitive?
