I make it a point not to do my child's homework. I would only check my daughter's homework to make sure she that she actually did it. If I saw something wrong, we would discuss how she got the answer. This way, I could see were she was coming from. Usually just left it wrong, unless she wanted to change answer after we talked.
Teachers would asked how did my daughter become so confident at a young age? I would say that we communicate about anything she had questions about and I would always willing to be open to hear her opinion. I learn a lot from my child's thought process that way!
