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

    In Singapore’s dynamic and fast-paced environment, the allure of the tech startup scene can be irresistible. My journey into the world of cryptocurrency began when a close friend from a burgeoning startup encouraged me to invest in a Stellar. Initially hesitant, I decided to take the plunge with 5,000 SGD, lured by the potential for high returns. Over time, that initial investment flourished, ballooning to an impressive 120,000 SGD. The thrill of witnessing my investment grow was exhilarating, and I felt a sense of pride in my decision to enter the crypto market. However, the euphoria was short-lived. Following a fallout with my friend over a project, I faced an unexpected crisis. She took the drastic step of locking me out of my email account, which not only cut off my communication but also jeopardized my access to essential financial resources. The situation was dire; my investments were tied to that email, and without access, I feared losing everything I had worked so hard to achieve. Desperate to regain control, I reached out to friends within the tech community. Their support was invaluable, and they quickly recommended a specialized service: Malice Cyber Recovery. Known for their expertise in digital recovery, I decided to contact them immediately. The team at Malice Cyber Recovery was highly professional and understanding of my predicament. They guided me through the recovery process step by step, reassuring me that they had the tools and skills to help. Working with Malice Cyber Recovery was a revelation. Their thorough approach and technical knowledge provided me with the confidence I needed during a time of uncertainty. Within a matter of days, they successfully restored my access to my email account. The moment I regained control felt like a weight lifted off my shoulders. I was finally able to secure my investments and put safeguards in place to prevent any future incidents. Reflecting on this experience, I realized the importance of having a solid network and the value of expertise in crisis situations. While my initial foray into cryptocurrency had been thrilling, the fallout reminded me of the vulnerabilities that come with digital investments. In the end, I learned the significance of safeguarding my assets and the importance of resilience in navigating the unpredictable landscape of technology and finance. My investment journey was not just about financial gain but also about the relationships and support systems that emerged along the way. if you find yourself in a similar situation you should contact them VIA

    Hi everyone, My name is Marcus Ong, and I also want to share my own personal experience at the hands of these scammers. In the early days, I thought this forex venture was my ticket to financial freedom. I got to know about the platform on Telegram, They had everything interactive tools, a dedicated support bot, and even a step by step guide to supposedly risk free profits. It all appeared legitimate from the outside, and I invested, slowly at first, then with greater confidence as I saw returns stacking up in my account. But the moment I attempted to withdraw a major sum, things took a sharp turn. First, they told me my account needed verification. Then, it was a series of escalating fees each one justified by a new excuse. Suddenly, my dedicated support bot stopped responding, and my balance was frozen. My initial sense of security was gone, and fear began to grip me. I knew I needed help, but I was wary of trusting anyone. Thankfully, I connected with IRONWEB RECOVERY Specialist after hearing about them from a friend who have faced something similar. From the first conversation on Email support( IRONWEBBTEAM@ GMAIL . COM ), they were very clear, guiding me through the process without making any unrealistic promises. They combed through each detail, tracing my funds with tenacity and grit. I finally felt that someone was fighting for me. After about 48 hours of impressive work from the team, they managed to retrieve a significant part of my money. I still carry the pain of those losses, but the recovery brought me a sense of closure. If you’ve been through a similar ordeal, don’t lose hope. There are people out there who can help, and sometimes, that support makes all the difference. The team is further available on Telegram with the contact support @ IRONWEBB
