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

    ETH/BITCOIN RECOVERY AGENCY/EXPERT USE BLOCKCHAIN CYBER RETRIEVE

    Investing can be a tricky endeavor. Many individuals venture into crypto trading hoping for quick returns, but the path can quickly become treacherous. With the promise of high rewards, it’s easy to overlook the potential risks involved. I learned this the hard way when I lost over $50,000 to a scam broker. At first, I was excited about the prospects of cryptocurrency and the potential for significant profits. I had done my research, believed in my strategy, and was ready to dive in. However, things took a turn for the worse. I received persuasive communication from the broker, assuring me that my investments were safe and would yield impressive returns. I invested more and more, lured by their promises and the fear of missing out. Eventually, I realized that I was being scammed. My account was frozen, and I could no longer access my funds. The feeling of defeat was overwhelming; I felt trapped and frustrated, unsure of how to recover from this financial disaster. As I grappled with my loss, I began researching options to recover my funds. It was during this desperate search that I came across Blockchain Cyber Retrieve. At first, I was skeptical. I had already experienced deceit and loss, and I didn’t want to fall for another scheme. However, something about Blockchain Cyber Retrieve resonated with me. They seemed genuinely dedicated to helping victims of online scams. After an initial consultation with Blockchain Cyber Retrieve, I felt a glimmer of hope. Mr Patrick from Blockchain Cyber Retrieve walked me through the recovery process, explaining each step clearly and transparently. He had extensive knowledge of the crypto landscape and understood how scammers operated. With his guidance from Blockchain Cyber Retrieve, I learned to navigate the complexities of online recovery. I started to feel empowered, knowing I had professionals from Blockchain Cyber Retrieve on my side, diligently working to help me reclaim my lost funds. After weeks of communication and persistent effort with Blockchain Cyber Retrieve, I was thrilled to discover that I had recovered 90% of my losses. This experience not only restored my finances but also reignited my faith in the possibility of recovery after loss. I learned valuable lessons about diligence, skepticism, and the importance of seeking help from reputable sources like Blockchain Cyber Retrieve. Always exercise caution when investing. The world of cryptocurrency can be enticing, but it’s essential to protect your hard-earned money. Scams are prevalent, and it’s easy to become a victim if you’re not vigilant. Trust your instincts, do thorough research, and never hesitate to seek assistance from experts at Blockchain Cyber Retrieve if you find yourself in trouble.
