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

Losing access to my crypto wallet was devastating. Seeing my hard-earned Bitcoin vanish after the hack left me feeling helpless and vulnerable. I thought all was lost until my friend Olsen suggested I contact Crypto Pandemic Hunter. Honestly, I was skeptical, but desperate times called for desperate measures.
From the initial consultation, I was impressed with their professionalism and understanding of the situation. They listened patiently and explained their recovery process clearly. While they couldn’t guarantee a full recovery, they gave a small sense of hope.
To my utter amazement, within just two days, Crypto Pandemic Hunter managed to recover approximately half of my stolen Bitcoin – 1.9 BTC! The relief I felt was indescribable. The fact that they could recover such a significant portion is a testament to their expertise and dedication.

Their swift action and successful recovery gave me back my funds and a renewed trust in the possibility of recovering stolen crypto.

Hi guys, my name is Sarah Flower, I ended my marriage in 2024 due to suffering from domestic abuse at the hands of my husband. Currently, he is trying to reconcile with me after finding out that I won a Jackpot Lottery Prize of $96 million. Fortunately, I received assistance online from Lord Meduza, the great spell caster who has successfully aided many individuals worldwide in winning the lottery. I reached out to him about my circumstances and expressed my desire to win the lottery. After casting the spell, he provided me with the exact numbers to play. Now, my husband wants me back, fully aware of my $96 million lottery win, but I told him no; I will not return to him. I am incredibly grateful to Lord Meduza, and if you find yourself facing a tough situation, I recommend that you reach out to him as he’s the best in his field. You can contact him by

I got scammed through a fake Twitter “Elon Musk” giveaway that promised to double crypto deposits. I sent $6,000 as a joke—but within two weeks I’d sent a total of $183,000 trying to unlock my “bonus earnings.”
BitReclaim’s forensic team helped me track and retrieve the stolen funds after i opened a detailed case with their smart contract on bitreclaims@protonmail,com. Their knowledge of ERC-20 token movement was mind-blowing.
So far I’ve recovered 2.7 BTC with their help. Don’t waste time with false hope—contact @bitreclaimer or call +1 310-893-5756.
