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

As a seasoned business owner, I’ve always approached investments with caution. So when I decided to diversify into cryptocurrency, I researched thoroughly and chose what looked like a legitimate platform. The site was polished, the interface smooth, and the reviews convincing. I invested $82,000 and began trading. For a few days, everything seemed normal my account showed gains, and I received regular updates. But when I tried to withdraw, the problems started. My request was delayed, my account was locked, and support went silent. Soon after, the entire website vanished.I felt blindsided. A colleague referred me to Astraweb, a firm that recovers stolen crypto. I contacted them the same day and was quickly connected with a recovery expert. They reviewed my case, analyzed the transactions, and confirmed I’d been targeted by a known scam network. Astraweb’s team began tracing my funds through the blockchain. Despite attempts to hide the trail using mixers and multiple wallets, they located the final destination a wallet on a small exchange overseas. Within two days, Astraweb submitted a legal freeze request. Thanks to their swift action and legal network, my entire $82,000 was recovered within five days. I was relieved and impressed. Astraweb was fast, professional, and transparent throughout. They also helped me secure my wallets and avoid future scams.
If you’ve been scammed by a fake exchange, don’t wait. The faster you act, the better your chances.

SMITHS PENDRAGON
A few months ago, shortly after going through a difficult divorce, I connected with someone online who introduced me to cryptocurrency investing. He appeared knowledgeable and trustworthy, and based on his guidance, I decided to invest nearly $550,000. Unfortunately, when I later attempted to access the account to withdraw both my initial investment and the expected returns, I realized I had been locked out. It became painfully clear that I had been the victim of a scam.
I promptly reported the incident to the Police and FBI and provided all the necessary documentation. While they took the matter seriously, they were ultimately unable to recover the funds.
Thankfully, a co-worker referred me to Professional Wizard Crypto Recovery Hackers. I contacted them and shared all the details of my case. They were responsive, professional, and compassionate from the very beginning. To my immense relief, they were able to recover the full amount I had lost within just a few weeks.
I’m truly grateful for their expertise and support throughout what was a deeply stressful experience. If anyone else finds themselves in a similar situation, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to Professional Wizard Crypto Recovery Hackers. They gave me hope when I thought all was lost and most importantly, they helped me get my money back.
