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 was still in college when I met my fiancé. We dated for quite a long time and cohabited and our relationship was approved by our parents. We got along and everything was perfect. He traveled out for some training and since then everything never became good for us again. He was seeing a lady over there and he tends to have committed much to what they shared and left me out the picture. I did all I can to fix the problem but nothing worked until I heard about Dr Isikolo. I contacted him and explained what I was going through and he promised to help which he did as promised. I complied with the instructions he gave me and he fixed the problem I had with my fiancé and now he’s back to me and we are getting married in a month. All thanks to Dr Isikolo. Contact him now if you need any help. His page: https://isikolo-temple.com or text him on WhatsApp via +234-8133261196

I never thought I would ever be the person publicly writing something like this but I feel like someone needs to hear it, because if this post reaches even ONE person before they lose everything like I did, then it’s worth it. A few months ago I lost exactly $180,000 to an online crypto investment scam. I’m not talking about play money… I’m talking about real, earned, saved, sacrificed money. My house deposit. My future. My security. Money that took YEARS to build gone in literally a few clicks. It started out looking very professional charts, dashboards, graphs, profits, daily reporting. There was even someone assigned to me who acted like a “portfolio manager.” He called me every day, he was patient, he spoke in technical terms, he made me feel like I was missing out if I didn’t invest more. They even showed what looked like real profits. I truly believed I was building something. Then one day withdrawals stopped working. Then messages stopped being answered. Then support emails bounced. And then the WhatsApp number suddenly went grey blocked. At that moment my chest felt like it caved in. My whole body went cold. The shame hit me like a truck. I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t tell anyone. I felt angry at myself for trusting, embarrassed for falling for it, and completely helpless. I tried everything banks, reports, financial ombudsman forms, even writing to the scammers begging like an idiot. Nothing worked. I thought the money was gone forever. Then someone recommended Malice Cyber Recovery. At first I didn’t believe it after getting scammed you trust NOTHING. But they didn’t promise miracles. They actually explained the process blockchain tracing, transaction flagging, wallet movement tracking, recovery filings, and escalation procedures. They treated me like a human being. They didn’t judge me. They didn’t make me feel stupid. They went to work immediately and I could actually SEE progress. Wallets got traced. Mixers got identified. Movement was tracked through multiple chained wallets. Evidence was compiled. Real filings were submitted. And after 1 week I GOT MY MONEY BACK. When I saw the confirmation I literally broke down in tears. Not just because of the money… but because I finally got my life back. I finally got to breathe again. If you are reading this because you lost money to a crypto scam do NOT keep it inside. Do NOT isolate yourself. Do NOT think it is “over.” It’s not over until you stop fighting. Malice Cyber Recovery didn’t just recover funds… they recovered my peace of mind. They gave me hope again. And I’m posting this because someone else out there right now is in the exact same pain I was in. Don’t give up. There are real professionals who can fight for you.
