Parents and Homework: How Can Parents Best Support Their Children
"There is a great deal of research on academic help-seeking behaviors (including the dissertation of this author). The primary distinction in the literature is between instrumental help-seeking and executive help-seeking (Nelson-Le Gall, Sharon, 1981, Help-seeking: An understudied problem-solving skill in children).

Executive help-seeking, on the other hand, involves the student simply seeking the answer."
