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

The internet was a safe place to study new things while relaxing in your own neighbourhood before these scammers suddenly appeared like worms and turned it into a dangerous place. My personal hero as a country music enthusiast is Kenny Rogers. I can vividly remember the Instagram post that read, “Guess who, my idol?” I remember being so awed that I wrote about how much he changed my life. I felt like I was talking to my hero on Instagram. He did say that he wants to show me a simple method of making quick money after seeing my unwavering support on his official Instagram page. I thought my idol could never make a mistake, so I didn’t even look into it. I quickly enrolled in the plan. I didn’t know it was a scammer posing as a celebrity until I had already invested $215,000.00. The problem worsened when I couldn’t withdraw funds from my investment or access my account; after all of this, I sensed that something wasn’t right. To ensure that I am not a host to these parasites, I must look for help from all available sources. Finding out about Wizard James Recovery Company, the leading cryptocurrency recovery specialist, pleased me. After I contacted their representative, they promised to return my stolen investment and they fulfilled their promise since they were so certain. If you find yourself in a similar circumstance, you can contact them via the methods listed below.

To anyone who has lost money to scammers: don’t give up hope. I was in your shoes, and I know how devastating it feels. Back in 2022, I was living in France when I joined an online trading platform that promised quick returns through stock trading. It looked professional, and I even received weekly newsletters with stock tips and market analysis. I felt like I was finally in control of my financial future. I deposited €3,000 to start, and after a few weeks of decent profits, I made more deposits to take my game to the next level ( so I was told ) and this enabled me to earn an increased ROI. My account showed profits climbing to €325,000, and I was excited to finally make a withdrawal. But as soon as I tried, I hit roadblock after roadblock. First, they requested a €5000 processing fee. Then, they claimed I had to pay additional fees for ‘compliance’ and ‘liquidity risk management.’ Before I knew it, I had paid over €20,000 in fees and still couldn’t access my funds. That’s when I knew something was horribly wrong. The emotional stress was the hardest part. I had trusted this platform with money I had saved for my future, and losing it felt like a personal failure. But after some research, I connected with a community of victims who had gone through the same ordeal. It was through them that I found JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE, and they helped me recover 100% of my investment. It wasn’t an easy task, the process was precise and very direct and required full trust in the process. In the end, it was a win I’m proud of, and I’ve learned to be much more careful. I highly recommend contacting JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE if you’re struggling with a similar issue. Their contact informations are below;
