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 am embarrassed to admit this, but I had $120,000 worth of Bitcoin stuck in a wallet simply because I forgot the password. I know, it sounds like a rookie mistake, right? The worst part is that I had set up this wallet years ago and had not touched it in a long time. When Bitcoin surged, I figured it was time to check back in and sell some of it, but when I could not remember the password, I nearly lost my mind. I tried everything to regain access—password managers, old notebooks, and even my muscle memory. Nothing worked. The longer I went without accessing the wallet, the more desperate I became. I felt like an idiot for not securing my information better. It was frustrating to think that my own forgetfulness could cost me a fortune. In my moment of panic, I mentioned my problem to my cousin, who works in the tech industry. He casually brought up Digital Tech Guard Recovery, saying that he had heard of them through a colleague who swore by their work. I was skeptical at first, but I figured I had nothing to lose at that point. When I contacted Digital Tech Guard Recovery, I was relieved to find that they were professional and did not make me feel stupid about my mistake. They listened to my situation and reassured me that cases like mine happen more often than I thought. It was comforting to know that I was not alone in this. Within just a few days, they cracked the case. I could hardly believe it when they emailed me to say they had successfully recovered my wallet. The moment I saw that $120,000 balance in my account, I nearly cried with relief. It felt like a heavy weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Digital Tech Guard Recovery is nothing short of magical. They made what seemed impossible possible, and for that, I am eternally grateful. Their expertise and dedication gave me hope when I felt completely lost. If you ever find yourself in a situation like mine, do not hesitate to reach out to them. They have the skills to get you out of a bind and restore your peace of mind. Thanks to Digital Tech Guard Recovery, I can finally move forward without the burden of my mistake hanging over me.

The relief of hearing that JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE had managed to trace my funds and recover 90% of what I lost was overwhelming. I lost a lot, but I’m grateful that I didn’t lose everything. It was a hard lesson, but if you’re in a similar situation, I strongly recommend contacting JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE ( Email : JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE / Telegram ID @ JETHACKSS ) They know what they’re doing and can give you the second chance you deserve. After 3 days of sleepless nights and worrying, I finally got a call from JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE that brought joy into my life again. I had invested in what seemed like a promising tech start-up in India. The company was developing cutting-edge AI software, and as someone working in the tech industry, it felt like the perfect opportunity to invest in the future. I invested 250 Lakhs INR (300,000 USD) and watched as the company sent regular updates on their progress, photos of development, success stories, and even news articles. The platform allowed me to monitor my shares, and within months, I was seeing incredible growth in the value of my investment. But the trouble started when I tried to cash out on my shares. First, the platform delayed my withdrawal due to legal issues, then they demanded more money for corporate restructuring fees. I was skeptical but continued paying, desperate not to loose the profits that had ballooned to ₹999 lakhs INR. After sending another ₹41.65 lakhs (50,000 USD) in so-called fees, I realized the company wasn’t real. Their website went offline, and their offices were empty when I visited. I’m well aware of the growing forms of scams out there but the sophistication of this very scam was well beyond my comprehension, well crafted, physical presence with airtight proofs to convince even the most untrusting investors. This has really been a turbulent experience for me but I’m thankful I came out with a Win in the end.

I made the decision to handle things myself since I was determined and a little naive. I studied innumerable tutorials on the complexities of blockchain, encryption algorithms, and digital forensics. However, when I put in endless effort to crack the code, it became evident that my rudimentary knowledge was unable to tackle the intricate realm of Bitcoin recovery. I had been misguided by my tenacity. I turned to recovery programs that claimed simple and quick fixes while I was in a desperate situation. I gave my hard-earned money to slick-talking professionals who said they knew everything. I had no idea that I was about to fall into a trap. I became even more discouraged and broke as a result of these scammers taking advantage of my weakness. Although it was a difficult lesson, it increased my prudence and discernment. When all else seemed gone, a glimmer of hope emerged from the dark depths of the internet. Internet reviews and recommendations from other Bitcoin enthusiasts led me to discover the team “WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY.” I had to give it one last go because they were famous.
