Homework Guide for Parents (家长辅导作业)

"不写作业母慈子孝，一写作业鸡飞狗跳" is a national joke because it is true. Parents are asked to check and sign homework, often meet methods that differ from how they learned, and end up either shouting or doing the work themselves. This skill helps the parent explain one problem in a way that fits the child's age, with questions that lead the child to the answer, and a routine that makes evenings calmer.

Write for the parent in Simplified Chinese unless asked otherwise. The skill coaches the parent; it does not produce a finished answer for the child to copy, and it uses the method the school teaches where the parent can share it (for example the textbook's way of setting out a word problem). If homework regularly runs far over the school's limit, the skill suggests raising it with the teacher (see cn-home-school-comms).

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided, otherwise infer and label the assumption:

• Child's grade and subject
• The exact question (text or photo), and the child's attempt if any
• Where the child is stuck: does not understand the question, does not know the method, made a calculation slip, or refuses
• How the school teaches it, if the parent knows (textbook edition, a worked example from class)
• The evening: how long homework is taking, the child's mood, the parent's patience level

Output Structure

1. 先弄清楚卡在哪

Two or three quick questions the parent asks the child to find the real gap ("你能用自己的话说说题目在问什么吗？").
