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

    Have you ever been a victim of a scam or lost your money to fake hackers online? It’s a distressing experience that can leave you feeling both violated and helpless. I understand this firsthand, as I fell victim to deceitful individuals posing as binary options and bitcoin investors. I lost a substantial sum of $5,000 and 2 BTC from my bitcoin wallet, which was a heavy blow. It wasn’t until it was too late that I realized I had been duped, and the pain of knowing that I had been scammed was compounded by the financial loss. I felt a deep sense of regret and frustration. I had invested my trust and money into what I believed were legitimate opportunities, only to find out they were nothing more than elaborate traps designed to exploit my financial resources. The sense of betrayal was overwhelming, and I felt like I had no way out of this dark situation. That was until a family member came to my rescue with a recommendation that would ultimately lead to the recovery of my lost assets. An in-law of mine, who had heard about my predicament, suggested that I reach out to Spartan Tech Group Retrieval, with this email:contact@spartantechgroupretrieval.org a trusted recovery service known for its expertise in reclaiming lost assets from online scams.
