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’m writing to let people know how the Wizard James Recovery, a British registered business, helped me recover my stolen Bitcoin. I was in trouble until a coworker introduced me to him and convinced me to get in touch with him. I did so, and I was able to retrieve nearly all of the money I had lost when attempting to invest in Bitcoin. I choose to let the public know how well he performed his services in order to show my gratitude for his kindness. To alleviate your situation and get your stolen Bitcoin back, I thus strongly advise you to get in touch with him directly using the information below.

    TRACK AND RETRIEVE BACK YOUR SCAMMED BITCOIN WITH-DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY
    .
    Last year, I fell victim to a cryptocurrency scam that cost me all my Bitcoin savings. I had invested through what looked like a legitimate trading platform—professional website, real-time charts, and even customer support. Everything seemed perfect until I tried to withdraw my profits. Suddenly, my account was “under review,” and within hours, the site vanished. Panic set in as I realized I’d been deceived by a fake online platform. After weeks of searching for solutions, I came across Digital Tech Guard Recovery, a cyber investigation and crypto recovery service. Their team listened carefully, analyzed the blockchain transactions, and traced where my stolen Bitcoin had been transferred. Through advanced forensic tools and legal collaboration, they managed to recover most of my lost funds and return them to my wallet. The experience taught me a painful but powerful lesson about online security and the importance of working with verified recovery experts like Digital Tech Guard Recovery.
