8 Tips on Effectively Helping Your Kids with Their Homework
Because you don't have time for another job when you get home from the first one.
Stubborn student keeping you from enjoying your post-work evening? Follow these veteran parents’ advice for getting assignments done—without energy-draining begging or bribing.
1. “My son does everything he can without me, and he puts a sticky note on the things he needs help with so we can review together later. It works great and instills organizational techniques as well.”
—Julie Cantor, M.D., faculty member at UCLA School of Law and founder/CEO of Harlen, a woman’s handbag line
2. “Have a dedicated homework area that is NOT centrally located. The kitchen table might be too distracting with the dog, siblings and art supplies close by. We keep a small table in a quiet corner with paper, pencils and erasers on it. When my daughter sits there, she knows it’s time to get down to business!”
—Beth Cubbage, software consulting manager and owner of the blog Parent Lightly
3. “I text my kids daily at around 4 p.m. to ask about homework in a family group chat. They’ll send pictures and screenshots of their assignments, and my husband and I walk them through those problems between meetings at work.”
—Gina Hooks, senior social media marketing manager
4. “If your kids have a favorite subject, do it last so they are motivated to complete work on less-enjoyable material.”
—Elizabeth Malson, president and VP of marketing at Amslee Institute, an online technical school for caregivers
5. “We have an Amazon Echo at home. If I’m not home while the kids are doing their homework, I ‘drop in’ through the Echo app on my phone. I can hear the kids where they hang out, and assist accordingly. We also have Nest cameras up, so I can visually get an idea of what’s going on and provide homework guidance.”
—Esti Chazanow, co-founder and brand manager at LIV Watches
6. “We all grab a snack and spread out at the kitchen table. I send business emails, and the kids ask me for help when needed. It sends the message: We’re in it together, and I’d rather not be doing my homework either, but it’s the responsible thing to do.”
—Kelley Kitley, psychotherapist
7. “We minimize distractions—her siblings—by having my husband play with them while I work one on one with my daughter. If she starts to get overly frustrated or tired, my husband and I quickly swap to reset the energy in the room.”
—Lauren Golden, author of The Free Mama: How to Work from Home, Control Your Schedule, and Make More Money
8. “We use Alexa to set a timer for my daughter’s math problems. She loves talking to Alexa and the challenge of trying to complete more and more problems in two minutes.”
—Katie Coleman, consultant

CRYPTO FRAUD RECOVERY HACKER FOR HIRE< DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY
I was devastated when I realized my crypto wallet had been hacked. Scammers tricked me through a phishing link disguised as a legit exchange update. Within minutes, thousands in crypto were drained from my account. I felt helpless and lost all hope of recovery. That’s when I found Digital Tech Guard Recovery. They responded quickly, took my case seriously, and began tracing the stolen assets using advanced tools. Their team was professional, transparent, and supportive throughout the process. After days of investigation, they successfully recovered a significant portion of my stolen crypto. I couldn’t believe it! I’m beyond grateful for their expertise and determination. Without them, I would’ve lost everything. If you’ve been scammed like I was, don’t give up — Digital Tech Guard Recovery truly delivers. They gave me a second chance and restored not just my funds, but my faith in recovery services.

recoveryhacker101 @ Gmail com is legit. Myself and several others were victims of a binary scam, and we thought all hope was lost until we received a referral to this cyber expert . We were skeptical at first, but we decided to go ahead because the recommendation came from a reliable source (a friend). We were able to successfully recover our money after only a few days. They saved our lives.

Personal growth is important for achieving success in life. All these words were shared with me by Meduza, who performed a spell reading for me and created a lottery spell that turned me into a lottery champion of $112 million here in Arizona. Within 48 hours of adhering to all of Meduza’s divine instructions, he granted me the chance to use the divine lottery numbers to enter the lottery after I bought my ticket in Tempe. A week later, I was informed that I had become the fortunate Jackpot winner of the lottery game, and this was all made possible by Meduza. I want to kindly express my gratitude to him for his impactful words and actions. For a transformative opportunity in your life, contact Meduza via
