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?
