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

    My services to anyone who has fallen victim to a scam. I lost $86,990 in a fraudulent crypto investment scheme. I was devastated and almost gave up hope. Then I connected with Brunoe Quick Hack, a professional recovery service known for their fast and reliable work. They carefully analyzed my case, traced the stolen funds, and within a short time, recovered my cryptocurrency. I’m beyond grateful for their help. If you’ve been scammed, don’t stay silent—seek the right experts like Brunoe Quick Hack. contact information: Email:: BrunoeQuickHack(AT)Gmail.COM

    $400,000 Gone Overnight… Until Boombavest Stepped In (Perth)

    Our firm learned the hard way how unforgiving the digital world can be. We manage a small investment company, and one phishing email changed everything. With one wrong click, our business wallet was drained of $120,000. Overnight, we went from operating normally to facing chaos , furious investors, the threat of lawsuits, and the sinking feeling that we had failed the very people who trusted us with their money.

    We tried everything we could think of. Our in-house team attempted to trace the blockchain transactions. We even hired an outside consultant who specialized in crypto forensics. But no matter how many hours we put in, the trail eventually went cold. Each dead end made the situation feel more hopeless, and the pressure kept mounting.

    That’s when we came across a group called Boombavest. From the very first conversation, they treated us less like “clients” and more like partners in a joint mission. They were transparent about their process, careful in setting expectations, and clear about what was possible versus what wasn’t.

    Over the following days, they conducted a deep forensic investigation. They traced the stolen funds across multiple wallets, identified the laundering exchange, and built a comprehensive report that we were able to pass directly to our legal team. The professionalism and clarity of their documentation alone gave us leverage we hadn’t had before.

    And then came the breakthrough: within a short window, Boombavest was able to help us recover nearly 70% of the stolen funds. It wasn’t everything, but it was enough to stabilize our firm, reassure our investors, and prove that we were committed to protecting their interests no matter what.

    The financial recovery mattered, but what mattered even more was the restoration of trust. Our investors saw that we weren’t giving up, and that we were willing to pursue every possible avenue to make things right. Boombavest didn’t just help us recoup money, they helped us preserve our credibility and keep our business alive.

    $400,000 Gone Overnight… Until Boombavest Stepped In (Perth)

    Our firm learned the hard way how unforgiving the digital world can be. We manage a small investment company, and one phishing email changed everything. With one wrong click, our business wallet was drained of $120,000. Overnight, we went from operating normally to facing chaos , furious investors, the threat of lawsuits, and the sinking feeling that we had failed the very people who trusted us with their money.

    We tried everything we could think of. Our in-house team attempted to trace the blockchain transactions. We even hired an outside consultant who specialized in crypto forensics. But no matter how many hours we put in, the trail eventually went cold. Each dead end made the situation feel more hopeless, and the pressure kept mounting.

    That’s when we came across a group called Boombavest. From the very first conversation, they treated us less like “clients” and more like partners in a joint mission. They were transparent about their process, careful in setting expectations, and clear about what was possible versus what wasn’t.

    Over the following days, they conducted a deep forensic investigation. They traced the stolen funds across multiple wallets, identified the laundering exchange, and built a comprehensive report that we were able to pass directly to our legal team. The professionalism and clarity of their documentation alone gave us leverage we hadn’t had before.

    And then came the breakthrough: within a short window, Boombavest was able to help us recover nearly 70% of the stolen funds. It wasn’t everything, but it was enough to stabilize our firm, reassure our investors, and prove that we were committed to protecting their interests no matter what.

    The financial recovery mattered, but what mattered even more was the restoration of trust. Our investors saw that we weren’t giving up, and that we were willing to pursue every possible avenue to make things right. Boombavest didn’t just help us recoup money, they helped us preserve our credibility and keep our business alive.
