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

    HIRE META TECH RECOVERY PRO TO RECOVER YOUR LOST OR STOLEN BITCOIN/ETH/USDT/NFT AND CRYPTOCURRENCY

    The exceptional team at META Tech Recovery Pro, whom I now consider family, has my utmost gratitude. It would be remiss of me not to acknowledge the outstanding service they provided. I have personally experienced the unfortunate reality that even innocent investors can be defrauded. I made an ill-advised investment, resulting in the loss of USDC and USDT. However, while perusing an online article, I came across a review of Taylor’s experience, which highlighted META Tech Recovery Pro’s success in helping her and her family recover funds lost to a scam. Upon contacting this cybersecurity firm, they successfully aided in the retrieval of my stolen digital USDC assets. I am genuinely impressed by their remarkable service and professionalism. I had not anticipated the possibility of recovering my funds until I presented my situation and all relevant documentation to META Tech Recovery Pro. I was astonished that they recovered my funds within 28 hours. My USDT assets were, without question, successfully recovered from the fraudulent platform. I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to you, Sir. I wholeheartedly endorse META Tech Recovery Pro for any requirements related to bitcoin recovery, digital funds recovery, hacking, and cybersecurity.

    I never thought I’d fall for a crypto scam. I considered myself careful and tech savvy I did research, joined online trading groups, and thought I could spot a fake from a mile away. But when I came across this investment platform that promised steady returns and even had “verified” traders showing off profits, I got hooked. At first, everything looked real. I started small, made some profit, and when I tried to withdraw, it worked. That’s what built my trust. Over time, I invested more until I had put in almost $120,000. Then, one day, my login stopped working. The support email bounced back. The Telegram group vanished. Just like that, my entire investment was gone. I can’t even describe how it felt. I couldn’t sleep. I blamed myself every single day. It wasn’t just the money it was the shame, the helplessness. Friends didn’t know what to say, and I honestly started believing there was no way to ever get it back. Then someone mentioned Malice Cyber Recovery in a crypto victims forum. At first, I thought it was just another false hope, but something about their communication felt different. They didn’t promise miracles they explained what they could realistically do, step by step. From the first call, they treated me like a person, not a case number. They analyzed the wallet transactions, traced the crypto movement across different chains, and explained in detail what had happened to my funds. They were so transparent, so patient I started to feel hope again for the first time in months. Their recovery team worked around the clock. They used specialized forensic tools (they called one of them the OTP Bolt Hijacker) to trace and intercept the fraudulent wallets used by the scammers. It sounded so technical, but the results were what mattered. After about 18 hours, I got the message that changed everything: they had successfully recovered my funds. Seeing that $120,000 credited back to my account didn’t just feel like a financial win it was emotional. I cried. I laughed. I felt free again. Malice Cyber Recovery didn’t just recover my money they restored my trust and peace of mind. They reminded me that there are still honest people out there using technology for good. If you’ve lost money to a crypto scam, please don’t give up. I know the pain and disbelief but there is still hope. Malice Cyber Recovery gave me mine back.
