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

I lost all my savings to CM Trading. I invested 41,000 and they refused to allow me to withdraw both my initial deposit and accrued interest. I have reached out to a recovery agent at recoveryhacker101 [@] gmail com to help me recover the money back from them and it is really progressing. I have been able to recover over 15,000 and I hope I will get the rest of the money in a few days.

I want to use this Medium to say big thanks to Recoveryhacker101. In 2021, I met someone online, and we started dating. He told me how he was making money in the crypto world and got me involved. At first, I was making money until I invested up to $210,000 in this investment scheme. When it came time to take my profit after the end of the contract, they asked for a commission, which I paid another $10,000. They kept asking for more until I talked to a friend about it. She promised to speak to her husband, who happened to know a company specializing in recovering assets lost through fake investment companies. They gave me the contact for recoveryhacker101. After reaching out to them on WhatsApp, they asked for all the necessary details about the investment and got to work. They kept giving me follow-up updates, and I can’t describe my relief when they called me after two days to say that my investment and profit had been completely recovered. I just had to post this on every page I can to let people know that they can still recover their lost investment. I highly recommend recoveryhacker101. or email them at recoveryhacker101@gmailcom

The company vanished overnight, along with their customer support leaving me with absolutely nothing and no way of tracing their whereabouts. Weeks went by and I was still reeling from the loss, I had stopped checking my phone, stopped talking about it all in an attempt to try and move on. Deep down I was very much hurting but I didn’t want anyone to know.
