Children behave better when their parents aren’t there. I’m sorry, but in my experience, it’s true. Children listen to me better when the parents aren’t there dividing their attention.
Adults are dividing their attention between their children and learning themselves. It’s just gotta be said. Knitting and Crochet aren’t easy. You gotta concentrate on what you are doing.
And the final reason?
Adults get frustrated when their children learn faster than them. And typically? Children learn much faster than adults. Children are hardwired to learn, and they do it well. It’s hard for adults, who are used to teaching their children, to be the ones that are struggling beside their younger classmates.
And I know, there are exceptions to this rule, but… it happens often enough it bears saying.
