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

    Testimony: "My Dad’s Lost Bitcoin Was Recovered After 12 Years – Thanks to CLOUDSTRIKE "

    Earlier this year, we came across an old notebook with a partial 9-word seed phrase and a reference to a “Bitcoin wallet – Electrum.” We also found a non-working laptop from around 2013.
    He had once mentioned buying Bitcoin back then, but we assumed it was a passing interest. Clearly, it wasn’t.
    The problem? The laptop was unreadable, and the seed phrase was incomplete.
    After failed DIY attempts, we reached to a company specializing in digital asset recovery and seed phrase reconstruction( CLOUDSTRIKE CYBERSECURITY COMPANY ) . From the beginning, they were professional, transparent, and highly responsive.
    Their team recovered and decrypted data from the damaged laptop, analyzed old wallet files and metadata and also used proprietary tools to reconstruct the missing seed words
    Within three weeks, they successfully recovered the wallet:
    17 BTC—worth over $1,600,000 at the time.
    Thanks to CLOUDSTRIKE , we recovered not just digital assets—but a part of my father’s legacy. The funds helped us pay off our family home, invest in the future, and support a cause he cared about.
    If you’re locked out of a wallet or missing a seed phrase, I highly recommend CLOUDSTRIKE CYBERSECURITY COMPANY and they can be contact through their E-mall address which is ( Cloudstrikecyber@gmail.com)
    WhatsApp:+1(260)408-3923
    Their expertise is rare—and real.

    I lost $87,000 in a SIM swap attack. One moment my phone had service, the next it was dead. Within minutes, I was locked out of my email, my exchange accounts, and my entire crypto portfolio was emptied. The attacker had convinced my carrier to transfer my number, bypassed my two-factor authentication, and moved fast. I felt sick. Years of investing, gone in under an hour. That’s when I found TROJANHACK CYBER SECURITY COMPANY.

    At first, I was hesitant—there are too many fake recovery “experts” out there. But Trojanhack was different. They were professional, clear, and moved fast. Within 48 hours, they had traced the stolen funds through multiple wallets, identified a key mistake the hacker made, and located the final destination—a KYC-verified account on a lesser-known exchange.

    They worked directly with the exchange and law enforcement to freeze the account. In just under two weeks, every cent $87,000—was recovered. I don’t usually write testimonials, but Trojanhack earned this. They didn’t over promise. They delivered. If you’ve lost crypto to a hack or scam, don’t waste time rather get in touch with Trojanhack.

    I got my money back because I called the right people and they can be contacted through their official E-mail address which is ( Trojanhack@qualityservice.com ) Give them a trial as they never disappoint.
