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

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’m honestly still shaken writing this, but I want to share my story in case it helps someone else.
Earlier this year, I met someone on a dating app. We clicked instantly, long conversations, shared interests, even video calls. It felt real. Over time, they opened up about investing in crypto and how they were growing their portfolio. I was cautious, but they never pressured me. Eventually, I decided to invest a small amount through a platform they recommended.
That “platform” turned out to be a scam. The moment I tried to withdraw my funds, everything locked up. I had transferred nearly $68,000 worth of Bitcoin and Ethereum over the course of a few weeks. And just like that, it was gone. The person I thought I was dating vanished. No replies. No trace.
I felt humiliated. Angry. Heartbroken. It wasn’t just about the money, it was the betrayal. I didn’t know where to turn.
That’s when I found Boombavest through a crypto support forum. I reached out, not expecting much. But from the first call, they were calm, professional, and most importantly, nonjudgmental. They didn’t make me feel stupid. They made me feel heard.
Their team launched a full blockchain investigation, tracing the transactions and identifying the scam wallet network. They compiled a detailed report and used forensic tools to track the flow of funds. Within three weeks, they managed to recover a significant portion of my crypto, and helped me secure my remaining assets.
I cried when I saw the wallet balance again. Boombavest didn’t just help me recover my funds, they helped me reclaim my dignity.
If you’ve been scammed through a romance or dating app, please know you’re not alone. These scams are sophisticated and emotionally manipulative. But there are ethical professionals out there who can help.
Boombavest gave me back more than crypto. They gave me closure.
