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

CERTIFIED CRYPTO RECOVERY SOLUTIONS, DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY
It was a rainy evening in 2023 when I first dipped my toes into cryptocurrency. I’d heard stories of overnight millionaires, so I invested $10,000 in Bitcoin and Ethereum through what seemed like a reputable exchange app. The interface was slick, promising high returns with AI-driven trades. Excited, I transferred funds from my bank, watching my portfolio grow virtually overnight—or so the app claimed. One day, I got an email from “support” urging me to verify my account to avoid suspension. It linked to a site that looked identical to the real one. In a rush, I entered my wallet keys and 2FA code. Hours later, my balance plummeted to zero. Panic set in as I realized I’d been phished in a sophisticated scam. Hackers had drained my wallet, transferring everything to anonymous addresses. I reported to the police, but they said crypto recovery was near impossible without experts. Devastated, I scoured forums and found mentions of Digital Tech Guard Recovery, a firm specializing in blockchain forensics. Skeptical but desperate, I contacted them via their site. Their team, led by a sharp analyst named Naomi, listened patiently. They explained how scams like mine used mixer services to launder funds, but with transaction tracing tools, recovery was feasible. We signed a no-win-no-fee agreement. Naomi’s crew analyzed the blockchain ledger, identifying the scam wallet’s trail. Using advanced software, they flagged suspicious transfers and collaborated with exchanges to freeze assets. It took weeks of back-and-forth, including legal affidavits to prove ownership. Miraculously, they recovered 80% of my funds—$8,000 wired back to my secure wallet. The rest was lost to fees and untraceable paths, but I was thrilled. Digital Tech Guard Recovery taught me about hardware wallets and red flags. Now, I’m wiser, investing cautiously, and forever grateful to them for turning my nightmare into a second chance. Moral: In crypto’s wild west, pros like them are your sheriff. Reach out to them on WhatsApp: +14438592886
