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

Guided by the renowned Wizard Hilton Cyber Tech, I embarked on a remarkable journey to recover my long-lost Bitcoin fortune, which had vanished without a trace. The tale began years ago when I had the foresight to invest a substantial sum in the burgeoning cryptocurrency market, amassing a staggering 67,000 Bitcoins. However, as is the nature of this volatile digital landscape, my virtual riches soon became elusive, lost to the ether of cyberspace due to a technical glitch or perhaps human error. For years, I agonized over the vanished fortune, unsure if I would ever see those life-changing funds again. That was, until I heard whispers of Wizard Hilton Cyber Tech, a legendary figure in the crypto world with a reputation for working miracles. Putting my faith in his mystical abilities, I sought him out, beseeching his help to unravel the mystery and retrieve my missing Bitcoin hoard. Through arcane divination techniques and an almost supernatural understanding of blockchain technology, Wizard Hilton Cyber Tech was able to trace the wandering path of my lost digital coins, navigating the complex web of wallets and exchanges until, at long last, he pinpointed their location. With a deft magical incantation, he was able to reclaim my 67,000 Bitcoins, restoring my financial legacy and ushering in a new era of unimaginable wealth and prosperity. It was a triumph of technological mastery and occult prowess, a testament to the remarkable skills of the one and only Wizard Hilton Cyber Tech.
