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

LOST MY SEED PHRASE TO MY CRYPTO WALLET
I was devastated when I lost the seed phrase to my crypto wallet, I don’t know how it happened but I couldn’t find it on my laptop, after days and days of trying to remember it but all came to nothing. I was in a terrible state because I just lost access to my crypto wallet worth $3.3m and I felt like pulling the plug on my life.
While I was wallowing in pain and scrolling through the internet first week of this year, I saw a blog post about a crypto recovery company HackMetrix Cyberservices, at first, it seemed it was not real but I gave it a try and contacted HackMetrix Cyberservices, provided them with my crypto wallet address and some other information which they had requested, and the unimaginable happened, HackMetrix was able to recover my crypto seed phrase and I got back access to my crypto wallet assets. I was overwhelmed by their services and I couldn’t stay silent about it. I decided to share this out here for people who need to contact them.

I verified that I had lost $78,000 in Bitcoin as a result of fraud, and I was able to get all of my money back into my wallet after collaborating with the Redeemed Hacker Pro (RHP) team. This team fixed the problem using sound technology and put my stolen money back in my wallet. I advise anyone experiencing a similar problem to contact the RHP team at Redeemed.h.p@hackermail.com or visit redeemedhackerpro.com to get their money returned from crooks.
Let them know Jovita recommends you.

“I’m Charles Darwin by name and i’m writing to share my incredible experience with a professional crypto recovery service know as SPYHOST CYBER SECURITY COMPANY . In 2020, I invested a significant amount of money in a cryptocurrency wallet worth more than 3 million united states dollars in todays market value, but unfortunately, I lost my seed phrase. I had written it down on one piece of paper and stored it in a safe, but somehow it got misplaced.
I was devastated and felt helpless. I had tried to contact the wallet’s support team, but they were unable to assist me in recovering my funds without the seed phrase. I had also tried to use various online tools and software to recover my seed phrase, but none of them worked.
That’s when I stumbled upon a professional crypto recovery service. I was skeptical at first, but after reading reviews and testimonials from other satisfied customers, I decided to give it a try.
The recovery process was surprisingly efficient and effective. The team at the recovery service was highly professional and communicative, keeping me updated every step of the way. They used advanced techniques and tools to try and recover my seed phrase, including brainwallet recovery as they used specialized software to try and recover my seed phrase from my brainwallet and they also made use of wallet reconstruction as they reconstructed my wallet from scratch, using advanced forensic techniques to recover my private keys. Within a few weeks, I received an email from the recovery service stating that they had successfully recovered my seed phrase. I was overjoyed and couldn’t believe that I had gotten my funds back.
The recovery service also provided me with a detailed report of the recovery process, including the steps they took to recover my seed phrase. I was impressed by their expertise and professionalism throughout the entire process.
I would highly recommend this crypto recovery service to anyone who has lost their seed phrase or has lost access to their crypto funds. They are truly experts in their field, and their services are worth every penny. Kindly contact them through any of the following means
