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 run a logistics company in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. My journey into Bitcoin began when a friend in the financial sector shared its potential with me. Intrigued, I decided to invest, and by 2024, my Bitcoin portfolio had grown to an impressive $1.2 million. I felt like I was riding the wave of the future, confident that my investments would secure my financial future.

However, my excitement quickly turned to despair when I lost access to my wallet due to a software update that corrupted my files. In the chaos that ensued, I realized that I hadn’t saved my recovery codes properly. It felt as if my entire financial future had slipped away in an instant. I remember joking with my colleagues, saying, “Losing my Bitcoin wallet is like losing the last bite of kabsa at a family gathering—devastating and unacceptable!”
Desperate for a solution, I turned to online research and discovered Digital Tech Guard Recovery. Their expertise in recovering lost wallets seemed promising, so I reached out to them, albeit with a hint of skepticism. Would they really be able to help me?
From the moment I contacted them, I was impressed by their professionalism and responsiveness. Their team walked me through the recovery process step by step, making me feel supported and informed every step of the way. I was relieved to find that I wasn’t just a number to them; they genuinely cared about my situation.
Within just a few weeks, to my utter astonishment, they managed to restore my wallet and recover my $1.2 million in Bitcoin. I felt a wave of relief wash over me—it was as if a great burden had been lifted off my shoulders. I could finally breathe again, knowing that my financial future was secure.

On Facebook, I joined a crypto investment group called Capitalix FX. The manager annually selects the top 30 most active investors to reward with trading packages, including a multi-investor option promising 500% returns. Last year, I was selected despite being only 6 months in. Excited by the opportunity, I gathered funds and made a deposit, as per the company’s terms. A week later, the company website shut down. When I contacted the group admin, she ignored me and eventually removed me after I threatened to report her. Desperate, I sought help from a recovery company to save my family, as we had lost everything.
I discovered Asset Recover Net through a Twitter post and reached out via Email: assetrecovernet AT gmailcom. They reviewed my case, confirming that my funds were recoverable, and within 48 hours, they had anonymously retrieved my money and returned it to my wallet. I’m incredibly grateful to them and highly recommend their service to anyone who needs help. You can contact them via WhatsApp: +1 (504) 3 0 2 3 4 6 4 or Telegram: AssetRecoverNet
