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

DO YOU LOST YOUR CRYPTO? YOU WANT TO RECOVERY YOUR STOLEN BTC,USDT,ETH ? ghostchampionwizard @ gmail dot com
Losing one’s Crypto currency can be a devastating thing to experience, the
fact that it is almost impossible to recover a Stolen or lost Crypto coin
hurts more than anything. When a person gets scammed of their money while
investing in a crypto currency platform the only thing they can think of is
how to report the company and get back their money. Most victims of the
scam contact their wallet account provider, their bank or the law
enforcement, a few end up hiring a lawyer to sue the company but after all
these stress they still cant get their money back. Please everyone should
be careful where they invest their money. Cryptocurrency has made many rich
and at the same time made so many broke and desperate. Few weeks ago I was
referred to Wizard Ghost Champion Recovery and I was able to get back all
my USDT coins that were Stolen through their services. If you want to
recover your cryptocurrency that was stolen or lost I recommend that Wizard
Funds Recovery are reliable and trustworthy. You can also contact them via
ghostchampionwizard @ gmail dot com . I wish you all the best. They are one of
the best Recovery companies in the world .WhatsApp : +44 7383450230 for inquiries.

Billy Harlan
My name is Billy Harlan from Texas, USA. I was targeted by a group of individuals who ended up stealing a significant amount of money from me through crypto and Bitcoin.
It all began about two months ago when I received an email promising high returns if I invested in crypto and forex. They presented detailed earnings reports and trading charts that looked very convincing. Looking back, I can admit it was easy to believe.
At the time, I had no idea I was being set up. I started by investing just $5,000 and my within two weeks, I had invested $218,000. However, they claimed my investment had grown to $703,000. To this day, I’m still shocked at how they were able to convince me to invest that much.
Once I realized it was a scam, I contacted the authorities but unfortunately, there was nothing they could do to recover the funds. Not willing to give up, I reached out to a few friends. One of them recommended Morphohack, a private investigator and fund recovery team.
Their team was incredibly helpful and professional. Morphohack worked hard to help me recover my funds, and I’m very grateful for their support. I’m sharing this in case anyone else finds themselves in a similar situation, there are people out there who can help and you can reach them by email: Morphohack@cyberservices(.)com
Faulkner
I was introduced by “Ray”, to the crypto asset trading platform, Bit2meprojil.com (B2MP). The B2MP platform offered various high yield investment programs in crypto based products and claimed to have cooperation agreements with major US based crypto exchanges. Following Ray’s instructions, I and two other of my friends pooled funds worth more than $1 million to engage in hyper short-term investments offering up to 30% returns for a 60-second commitment of funds, as well as liquidity mining investments that paid 18% annualized interest for committing funds for 5-7 days. After several months of trading, We believed that we had accumulated $30 million on the platform. Initially, I was able to withdraw funds from the platform. But when we tried to withdraw $100,000, the app notified us that we must pay a “risk premium” equal to 10% of our total account balance. I made multiple attempts to pay the risk premium, but was unable to do so. Then the app said our balance of $28 million would be seized and transferred to the “SEC Unknown Assets Department.” At this point I knew we had been scammed, I didn’t know what to do until a friend recommended RECOVERYCOINGROUP AT GMAIL DOT COM whom I contacted and a few days later our capital was recovered and they got the website closed. Thank you Recovery Coin Group for your great work, I promised to let the world know about what you guys do.
