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

Finally, I can now heave a sigh of relief. After months of sleepless nights and constant worry, my financial nightmare has come to an end, and I owe it all to CRANIX ETHICAL SOLUTIONS HAVEN. It all started when I got involved in what seemed like a promising online investment opportunity. The promise of high returns was too tempting to resist, and I ended up investing a significant amount of money, including $86,000 worth of Ethereum. At first, everything seemed legitimate. The returns were coming in, and the platform appeared professional. But as time went on, the platform’s communication grew more sporadic, and eventually, my access to my account was completely blocked. I tried to reach out, but I was met with silence. The realization hit hard: I had been scammed. I had lost a massive sum of money, and there seemed to be no way to recover it. Despair set in, and I thought all was lost. But just when I had almost given up hope, I was referred to CRANIX ETHICAL SOLUTIONS HAVEN by a friend who had been through a similar ordeal. Skeptical at first, I decided to give it a shot. I contacted their team, and from that moment, everything began to change. CRANIX ETHICAL SOLUTIONS HAVEN and their team of experts were quick to respond and made me feel heard and understood. They carefully listened to my situation, examined all the details of my case, and assured me that they had the tools and experience to help recover my lost funds. The transparency they offered in the process and their dedication to keeping me updated on every step of the recovery process gave me a sense of security and trust. The recovery process wasn’t immediate, but their team worked tirelessly, and after weeks of meticulous investigation and negotiation, they managed to successfully recover the full $86,000 worth of Ethereum I had lost. The relief I felt when I saw that money returned to my wallet was indescribable. I had lost faith in the online financial world, but CRANIX ETHICAL SOLUTIONS HAVEN restored that faith by showing me that there are still good, trustworthy professionals out there. I am forever grateful to CRANIX ETHICAL SOLUTIONS HAVEN and their incredible team. They not only helped me recover my funds but also gave me a renewed sense of hope. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to CRANIX ETHICAL SOLUTIONS HAVEN.

Have been keen always on investing and have closely followed the developments in cryptocurrency. After selling our business two months ago, my spouse and I decided to put our savings into Bitcoin, believing it to be a lucrative opportunity. Having been retired for a year now, we felt confident that this investment would secure our financial future. Our research and understanding led us to believe that cryptocurrencies were a safe bet. We were enthusiastic about our decision and anticipated significant returns on our investment.One day, while scrolling through Instagram, we came across an advertisement that seemed very convincing. The ad featured professional-looking graphics and testimonials, which gave the impression that the investment platform was both legitimate and promising. Eager to make the most of our investment, we reached out to the contact provided in the ad. The representatives were persuasive, explaining how their platform had exceptional growth potential and how our investment could easily triple in value. Feeling assured and optimistic, my spouse and I decided to invest a substantial amount of $400,000 USD into this platform. Initially, everything seemed to be going well; we received updates and reports about our supposed gains. However, as time passed, we began to notice discrepancies and irregularities that raised concerns. Our attempts to contact the platform’s support team became increasingly difficult, and the reports we received started to seem less reliable.Eventually, we came to the heartbreaking realization that we had fallen victim to a sophisticated scam. The investment platform, which had promised high returns, was nothing more than a cleverly orchestrated fraud. The feeling of being deceived was devastating, and we were left in a precarious financial situation, with the loss of our entire investment.we reached out to an old friend who suggested contacting GHOST CHAMPION RECOVERY HACKERS , a firm specializing in recovering funds lost to scams.
