My child is 6. I have them do 10-20 min of guided reading daily, meaning I sit with them and help where needed. They read mostly on their own though. I started because school was basically not teaching anything and giving half assed explanations why not.

How much do you do? Wondering if I’m an asshole parent 😅

As much as they want. I’m my experiencing nothing makes my kids hate doing something more than making them do it

Sometimes. I made my kid learn to swim and now he begs to go to the pool vs. crying before. Some fun things have a learning curve
