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

    Around July this year I had 5.03 BTC in one of my Bitcoin wallets that I thought was lost for good. I’d sent my laptop to a variety of top data recovery firms, but with no luck. After seeing a positive comment about The Hack Angels on the internet, I decided to try to recover my wallet one last time.
    They were very responsive, and recovered my wallet in less than 48hours. I want to thank them for acting honorably and in accordance with our agreement.

    My name is beyonc and I work as a clinical research coordinator in Gauteng. I encountered a significant issue that I’d like to share, not only to recount my experience but also to offer insights that might help others avoid a similar situation. A few months ago, I decided to invest R 120,000 into Bitcoin through an online trading platform that seemed reputable. WhatsApp info:+12 723 328 343 The platform presented itself as a promising opportunity with various features designed to attract and retain investors. Eager to explore the potential returns, I proceeded with the investment, convinced by the platform’s polished appearance and persuasive sales tactics.Initially, everything appeared to be progressing smoothly. My investment seemed to be growing, and the platform’s user interface made it easy to monitor the changes. However, as time went on, I noticed some red flags. The platform began imposing increasingly strict withdrawal conditions, and I encountered numerous delays and technical issues whenever I tried to access my funds. The more I attempted to withdraw, the more obstacles I faced, leading me to become increasingly suspicious. After several failed attempts to withdraw my funds and numerous interactions with the platform’s customer support—which always seemed to offer vague and unhelpful responses—I began to realize that I was likely dealing with a scam. The realization was both disheartening and alarming. The platform that had promised to help me grow my investment had turned into a source of frustration and financial loss. Determined to recover my funds, I started researching possible solutions and came across ADWARE RECOVERY SPECIALIST.

They worked diligently to navigate the complexities of the situation, leveraging their knowledge and resources to engage with the online trading platform on my behalf.  ADWARE RECOVERY SPECIALIST maintained transparent communication, keeping me informed of every development and ensuring that I understood the progress being made. Their commitment and expertise proved invaluable, as they were able to successfully recover the full amount of R 120,000 that had been fraudulently withheld. The experience was a sobering reminder of the risks associated with online investments and the importance of due diligence. I am deeply grateful to ADWARE RECOVERY SPECIALIST for their assistance and am relieved to have my funds returned. Their help has been instrumental in restoring my confidence and financial stability. For anyone considering online investments or facing similar challenges, I strongly advise exercising caution and thoroughly vetting any platform or service before committing funds.
