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

    It’s quite unfortunate that too many people have fallen victim to the vast array of online frauds, resulting in large losses, some accountable to life-changing consequences. I was a victim of fraud of about $80,000.00 by two binary platform films, the Ingoinvest binary option and I was devastated and confused. But thank God for my neighbor who introduced me to a legit and certified binary recovery expert company that helped me recover all my lost funds If you have found yourself in the middle of an online losing streak, though the emotions that inevitably accompany those losses can be devastating to your confidence. Do not worry. Contact Recovery Hacker101 (recoveryhacker101@ Gmail com)

    It all began in the UK when I was in college in London, and I became the victim of a sophisticated online scam involving a fraudulent cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme. The scammers initially appeared legitimate, offering enticing returns on investments that promised significant financial gains. Their professional-looking website, smooth talking, and apparent expertise in cryptocurrency trading led me to trust them. I deposited a substantial amount of money, hoping to capitalize on the promises they made. For a while, everything seemed fine, and I was encouraged by the apparent growth of my investment. However, my troubles began when I tried to withdraw €100,000 from my account. The scammers, who had now gained my trust, informed me that in order to process the withdrawal, I needed to pay a 5% tax to the UK Tax Bureau. They assured me that this was a standard procedure, and I would get my funds back soon after making the payment. Trusting them, I transferred €22,990 to cover the supposed tax fee. Once I sent the money, they claimed they were ready to process my withdrawal. But then, they raised a new demand. They told me that, because I was now a VIP member with over €200,000 in my account, I could only withdraw a minimum of €200,000. Despite my repeated requests to withdraw a smaller amount, they insisted I had no choice but to meet this threshold. Feeling cornered and desperate to access my funds, I transferred an additional €20,000, believing this would be the last step in unlocking my money. Yet, the demands didn’t stop there. They came back with another request, this time for €15,200 in “extra charges” to complete the transaction. Desperate to retrieve my money, I sent the amount, convinced that this would finally resolve the issue. But after I made the payment, everything went silent. The scammers ceased all communication, and I realized I had been scammed. My money was gone, and I felt utterly helpless and betrayed. Determined not to give up, I started searching online for solutions. After extensive research, I discovered a recovery service called Cranix Ethical Solutions Haven. Initially skeptical, I hesitated but ultimately decided to reach out to them. Cranix Ethical Solutions Haven was responsive right away, and they seemed genuinely dedicated to helping me recover my funds. They explained the recovery process and reassured me that they had a proven track record of dealing with scams like mine. Over the next few days, Cranix Ethical Solutions Haven kept me updated on their progress and made me feel supported every step of the way. The level of professionalism and expertise they demonstrated gave me hope. They were able to uncover crucial details about the scam and began the complex work of tracing my funds. Cranix Ethical Solutions Haven was persistent and thorough, consistently providing updates and guidance throughout the entire process. In the end, Cranix Ethical Solutions Haven was successful in recovering a significant portion of my lost funds. The process was lengthy, but their dedication and expertise made all the difference. Although I had lost a substantial amount of money, Cranix Ethical Solutions Haven helped me regain what I could, and for that, I am incredibly grateful. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend contacting Cranix Ethical Solutions Haven they truly are the experts when it comes to recovering funds from online scams.
