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

Earlier this year, I came across what seemed like a once in a lifetime investment opportunity, I thought it could help build some savings. I’m a nurse who lived on a modest salary and any extra income goes toward my children’s future. The opportunity involved an online auction investment platform where people could buy and sell valuable items, and investors like me could earn commissions from the transactions. It sounded intriguing and promised steady returns. After a few months of actively engaging the activities of this platform, I saw my profits grow into some decent value but trouble was not far behind as I met some unforeseen withdrawal complications upon attempting to withdraw my funds. The platform kept delaying the process for various reasons claiming they were protocols, protocols that I wasn’t aware of until that point. However, the delays kept piling up and they kept asking for more deposits. As luck would have it, I found help in the services of JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE through the recommendations of friends online. I’m glad they did not disappoint me otherwise i wouldn’t be here today sharing my testimony. Thanks to JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE, I was able to recover back my funds from the investment company , and I’m slowly getting back on my feet. I hope my story serves as a warning to others, be wary of opportunities that seem too good to be true. If you find yourself in a similar situation, don’t hesitate to seek help from JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE, their team of professionals will assist you in the highest possible level to ensure you reclaim what rightfully belongs to you, contact details are as follows,

Scammers have become more sophisticated, and even the most cautious people can fall victim if they’re not careful, today I now know to look for proper licensing and third party verification before trusting any online service with my money.

Hello viewers My purpose out here today is to share this article to the world about how Doctor Robbinson helped me in getting back my husband because my dream was to have my husband back in my life, and live happily with him.. He requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell Vessel began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell Vessel worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. This is a miracle. Thank you Dr Robbinson for your powerful spells. Words are not enough.
