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

Before you place any investment with a broker, ensure that you do your proper research so you don’t end up sending scammers your hard-earned money. I suffered from this after I sent a scammer I perceived to be a legitimate broker, but it later turned out he was a scammer. But I am happy I got introduced to RecoveryHacker101, because indeed I wouldn’t have gotten my funds if not for their expert services in tracing stolen crypto funds. I eventually got my money back and, trust me, I am not investing anymore. I can remember the sudden pain I got after I realized the broker was a scammer. That’s why I have taken my time to post this comment here to anyone in need of a crypto recovery expert can simply reach them at (recoveryhacker101@gmailcom). I vouch for their services 100%.

I was absolutely shocked when I realized that a Europe-based crypto trader had vanished with my significant investment, leaving me completely unable to access my funds. It was a crushing blow, and I found myself at a loss, not knowing where to turn for help. The emotional toll was immense, and I felt utterly powerless, unsure of how to recover what I had lost. In my search for solutions, I came across many unreliable services, which only heightened my frustration and confusion. Then, I stumbled upon numerous positive reviews on youtube comments about Asset Rescue Specialist and their expertise in tracking and recovering lost cryptocurrency. Though I was initially skeptical, I decided to give them a try, hoping that they could offer a solution. This decision turned out to be the best one I could have made. After initiating the recovery process with a payment, the team at Hackerspotville immediately began their work, and I could sense right away that I was in capable hands. What struck me most was how fast and efficient their team was. They not only recovered my funds in an impressively short time, but they also kept me updated at every step of the process. I never felt left in the dark or unsure of what was happening. The communication was transparent, and their professionalism was evident throughout. In what seemed like no time, my funds were recovered, and the overwhelming sense of helplessness I had felt for so long was finally replaced by relief and gratitude. I can’t thank Asset Rescue Specialist enough for their exceptional service. Their dedication and expertise were clear from the very beginning, and they went above and beyond to ensure that my case was handled with the utmost care. It was clear that they genuinely cared about their clients and were committed to helping victims of crypto scams like myself. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I wholeheartedly recommend Asset Rescue Specialist . Their service is nothing short of exceptional, and they have proven that they are a trustworthy and reliable resource in the fight against crypto scams. I am beyond grateful for their help in recovering my investment, and I will forever be thankful to them for restoring my financial security.DM via: Contact Email; assetrescuespecialist (AT) qualityservice (DOT) com.
