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

Before you place any investment with a broker, ensure that you do your proper research so you don’t end up sending scammers your hard-earned money. I suffered from this after I sent a scammer I perceived to be a legitimate broker, but it later turned out he was a scammer. But I am happy I got introduced to recoveryhacker101, because indeed I wouldn’t have gotten my funds if not for their expert services in tracing stolen crypto funds. I eventually got my money back and, trust me, I am not investing anymore. I can remember the sudden pain I got after I realized the broker was a scammer. That’s why I have taken my time to post this comment here to anyone in need of a crypto recovery expert can simply reach me at (recoveryhacker101@gmailcom). I vouch for their services 100%.

I’ve been attempting to expand my wine business in my hometown in White Plains. For the past 7 years, I do play the lottery in my spare time, but on this blessed day I came across an article about Lord Meduza’s spell to win the lottery. I contacted Lord Meduza to see if it would work and after I agreed to his terms and conditions for completing the task for me, he performed his magical powers for me and within 48 hours, he provided me with the numbers I needed to play the lottery, and I followed his directions. I found out at the store that I was the winner of a $105 million jackpot. For a moment I felt uncertain but I looked again and I saw it was real. As I speak to you, My level has been elevated from grass to grace and I’ve come to know that life is more spiritual and with the Lord Meduza spell, you can actually win the lottery. Please join me in thanking Lord Meduza and his contacts are listed as follows;

Recovering lost digital assets in the face of cybercrime may seem impossible, but I am a living testimony that it is very much achievable. I recently lost $647,000 to a sophisticated cryptocurrency investment scam—an experience that shook me to my core. At a time when hope was fading and trust was broken, I came across a reputable and highly efficient digital assets recovery firm, TROYHACKS CYBERSECURITY COMPANY.
What set them apart was not only their responsiveness but also the advanced methodology they applied throughout the recovery process. Upon contacting them, their team conducted a detailed forensic analysis of my blockchain transaction history, carefully tracing the movement of funds across multiple wallets and blockchain networks. Using proprietary blockchain tracking tools and access to dark web intelligence databases, they were able to identify and follow the digital trail left by the scammers.
The next phase involved deploying specialized cybersecurity protocols and recovery scripts, along with legal coordination with key crypto exchange partners, to initiate the retrieval of the diverted funds. Their ability to bypass obfuscation layers, decrypt complex data paths, and act swiftly made all the difference in the recovery.
Within days, I began receiving updates on the progress, and not long after, the full amount I had lost was successfully restored to me. Thanks to TROYHACKS CYBERSECURITY COMPANY, I was able to reclaim what once felt permanently lost. Their professionalism, discretion, and mastery of digital recovery tools were exceptional. For anyone facing a similar situation, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to them via email at [Troyhacks@cyberservices.com]or through WhatsApp at +1 (260) 237-6241.
HOW TO RECOVER LOST CRYPTOCURRENCY FROM WALLET OR SCAM/CONTACT MALICE CYBER RECOVERY
I’m not the type of person who usually falls for scams. I do my research, I ask questions, and I don’t rush into things. But in late 2024, I fell victim to what I thought was a promising cryptocurrency investment. The scammers had professional looking platforms, fake testimonials, even live chat support. It looked like a legitimate trading opportunity. I initially invested a small amount in Bitcoin and saw “returns” in a matter of days. That built my confidence, so I continued investing until I had put in a total of $197,000. That’s when everything changed. My account was suddenly “frozen due to suspicious activity,” and I was told I needed to pay even more to release the funds. I knew I had been scammed. I felt helpless. The money was gone. I contacted the authorities, but with crypto, jurisdiction gets blurry and time is not on your side. That’s when someone referred me to Malice Cyber Recovery. From the very first call, they treated me with respect and urgency. Their team of cybercrime specialists listened to my story in detail, asked the right questions, and immediately began the investigation. They were transparent about the process and gave me realistic expectations but still, I wasn’t prepared for how fast and effective they turned out to be. Within a few weeks, Malice Cyber Recovery managed to trace the digital wallet activity and track down the laundering paths the scammers used. They worked with legal authorities and crypto compliance networks to help freeze the funds that were still in circulation. Through strategic negotiation and solid technical work, they helped me recover a significant portion of the stolen funds something I truly thought was impossible. Thanks to their work, I got back nearly all of what I lost. More than that, I regained peace of mind. I can’t thank Malice Cyber Recovery enough for what they did for me. If you’ve been scammed whether in crypto or any other online fraud don’t give up. This team knows what they’re doing, and they care. They turned what felt like a nightmare into a second chance
