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

Experiencing financial fraud, particularly when a significant amount of money is involved, is a deeply distressing situation. Having fallen victim to a scam where I lost €216,000 to fraudulent brokers, I understand firsthand the challenges of reclaiming lost funds. My recent experience with Francisco Hack has been transformative, and I feel compelled to share my positive review to offer hope to others in similar predicaments. my interaction with the fraudulent brokers seemed promising. They provided professional support and promised substantial returns on my investment. However, this quickly devolved into a scheme where they continually requested additional funds before processing any withdrawal requests. Each time I complied, the demands grew, revealing their intent to defraud me of my capital. In my quest for resolution, I encountered numerous obstacles. The brokers’ customer support became increasingly unresponsive, and it became evident that my attempts to withdraw my funds were being deliberately thwarted. This left me feeling both helpless and frustrated. My breakthrough came when I discovered a broadcast discussing how scam victims could potentially recover their lost funds. This led me to Francisco Hack, a service specializing in such recoveries. Skeptical yet hopeful, I reached out to them for assistance. From the outset, Francisco Hack impressed me with their professionalism and efficiency. Their team responded promptly to my inquiry and provided clear instructions on how to proceed.
