Is It Really Cheating? Navigating Family Rules and Boundaries

Recently, my child asked me, "Is it considered cheating if you get help on homework?" That question made me pause and reflect on how we define honesty and fairness within our family. Growing up, my parents had clear boundaries—cheating was never okay, but asking for help was encouraged. Now, as a parent, I find myself walking that fine line, wanting to support my child without crossing into doing the work for them. It’s a constant balancing act, teaching them to value their own effort while also knowing when it’s okay to seek guidance. Have you ever faced a similar dilemma in your family?
