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

    I never thought it would happen to me. I’ve always been careful with my passwords and seed phrases, but after moving apartments last year, one of my old backup drives got misplaced. On it was the only copy of the private keys to my crypto wallet that held nearly $45,000 in Bitcoin and Ethereum.

    The panic that set in was indescribable. I spent weeks trying to recover the files myself, downloading recovery tools, watching endless tutorials, and even paying a local IT guy to help. Nothing worked. The more time passed, the more I felt like I had permanently lost everything I had worked so hard to save.

    That’s when I was introduced to Boombavest. From the first call, they approached my case with professionalism and calm. They didn’t overpromise, but they assured me there was a structured process we could follow.

    Their team conducted a deep forensic recovery on my remaining backups and fragments of the old drive. They combined blockchain forensics with advanced recovery tools I had never even heard of. Within two weeks, they managed to reconstruct my access and safely return control of my wallet.

    I honestly broke down when I saw the funds again. To me, it wasn’t just about the money, it was about the peace of mind that my hard work and savings weren’t gone forever.

    Boombavest didn’t just give me back my crypto; they gave me back my hope and confidence.

    I’m Chevy Harley, a 35-year-old entrepreneur from Spain. I invested $200,000 in a cryptocurrency trading app that turned out to be a scam. I deposited $50,000 initially, and the app showed my investment growing, so I added $150,000 more. But when I tried to withdraw, the app froze my account, demanding a hefty fee. I realized I’d been scammed by a clone crypto app. Desperate for help, I reached out to Passcode Cyber Recovery. Their team responded promptly, assessed my situation, and used advanced blockchain analytics to track the scammer’s wallet. After several weeks, they recovered $195,000! I was overjoyed and relieved. The team was efficient, transparent, and reliable. I’m grateful for their expertise and dedication. If you’ve lost cryptocurrency to theft or scams, don’t give up hope. Passcode Cyber Recovery is your best bet for recovering your lost assets. Their service is worth every penny. I highly recommend them.

    HOW CAN I RECLAIM MY STOLEN USDT/BITCOIN CONNECT WITH DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY

    It was a rainy evening in 2017 when I first dipped my toes into the world of cryptocurrency. Excited by the buzz around Bitcoin, I bought a few coins on a whim, stashing them in a digital wallet. Back then, I was careless—my password was a mix of my birthday and pet’s name. Life moved on; jobs changed, moves happened, and that wallet faded into memory. Fast forward to 2023. Bitcoin’s value skyrocketed, and a news alert jolted me: my forgotten investment could be worth a fortune! Panic set in as I scoured old hard drives and emails, but the wallet was locked behind a lost passphrase. Thousands in Bitcoin, vanished into the blockchain ether. I felt like a fool, scammed by my own forgetfulness. Forums warned of irreversible losses, and shady recovery ads popped up everywhere, promising miracles but delivering heartbreak. Desperate, I researched legit services and stumbled upon Digital Tech Guard Recovery. Skeptical at first—their site boasted advanced forensic tools and ethical hackers—I reached out. Their team, led by a sharp analyst named Nas Jones, listened patiently. “We’ve recovered millions in lost crypto,” Nas Jones assured me. They used cutting-edge software to scan blockchain traces, bypassing no private keys but leveraging wallet recovery protocols. The process was meticulous: I provided transaction IDs and old emails. Within weeks, their AI-driven tools reconstructed my seed phrase from fragmented data backups I didn’t even know existed. Security was paramount—they used encrypted channels and never asked for funds upfront. One crisp morning, an email arrived: “Recovery successful.” Logging in, there it was—my Bitcoin, intact and transferable. Tears welled up; it wasn’t just money, but a lesson in digital vigilance. Digital Tech Guard Recovery turned my nightmare into triumph, proving tech guardians do exist in the crypto wild west. Contact with WhatsApp: +14438592886
