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 am embarrassed to admit this, but I had $120,000 worth of Bitcoin stuck in a wallet simply because I forgot the password. I know, it sounds like a rookie mistake, right? The worst part is that I had set up this wallet years ago and had not touched it in a long time. When Bitcoin surged, I figured it was time to check back in and sell some of it, but when I could not remember the password, I nearly lost my mind. I tried everything to regain access—password managers, old notebooks, and even my muscle memory. Nothing worked. The longer I went without accessing the wallet, the more desperate I became. I felt like an idiot for not securing my information better. It was frustrating to think that my own forgetfulness could cost me a fortune. In my moment of panic, I mentioned my problem to my cousin, who works in the tech industry. He casually brought up Digital Tech Guard Recovery, saying that he had heard of them through a colleague who swore by their work. I was skeptical at first, but I figured I had nothing to lose at that point. When I contacted Digital Tech Guard Recovery, I was relieved to find that they were professional and did not make me feel stupid about my mistake. They listened to my situation and reassured me that cases like mine happen more often than I thought. It was comforting to know that I was not alone in this. Within just a few days, they cracked the case. I could hardly believe it when they emailed me to say they had successfully recovered my wallet. The moment I saw that $120,000 balance in my account, I nearly cried with relief. It felt like a heavy weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Digital Tech Guard Recovery is nothing short of magical. They made what seemed impossible possible, and for that, I am eternally grateful. Their expertise and dedication gave me hope when I felt completely lost. If you ever find yourself in a situation like mine, do not hesitate to reach out to them. They have the skills to get you out of a bind and restore your peace of mind. Thanks to Digital Tech Guard Recovery, I can finally move forward without the burden of my mistake hanging over me.
