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

    I had the most terrible moments of my life few weeks back when I lost all my savings to a self acclaimed crypto investment platform which promised me a massive return on my investment to lure me into debt which I went bankrupt. They kept asking for more and more money while I tried withdrawals of my profits. I lost both profits and my investment until I read about Century Hackers fund recovery services. I wrote this agency immediately and they requested for some info. Within 24 hours, all my funds were restored and I could smile again. I’m grateful I met the most reliable fund retrieval team.

    Losing a significant amount of money to a fraudulent broker can feel like a devastating blow, both financially and emotionally. When I found myself in that exact situation, having funded 178,000 euros with a fraudulent broker and never receiving my money back, I felt lost and desperate for help. It was then that I was fortunate enough to meet a colleague who introduced me to binary options trading as a means of seeking a refund. However, it was through their recommendation that I discovered Salvage Asset Recovery, and I am eternally grateful that I did. At first, I was skeptical. My previous experience with the fraudulent broker had left me feeling jaded and distrustful of recovery services. I had resigned myself to the idea that my hard-earned money was lost forever. But something inside me urged me to give Salvage Asset Recovery a chance, and I am so glad that I did. From the moment I reached out to Salvage Asset Recovery, I was met with professionalism, empathy, and a genuine desire to help.

Throughout the recovery process, Salvage Asset Recovery provided invaluable support and guidance, helping me navigate the complexities of online scams and empowering me to protect myself against future threats.

There were no hidden costs or surprises, just honest and effective assistance. In the end, thanks to the tireless efforts of Salvage Asset Recovery and their team, I was able to reclaim every last euro that had been stolen from me. It was a victory not just for me but for anyone who has ever been a victim of online fraud. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I urge you not to lose hope.
