Ask your children to teach you. Sometimes the best way to learn something is to try to explain it to someone else. If you want to help your kids with their homework, but don't understand it, say so. Ask them to explain it to you. Encourage your children to study with others.
Children often learn more when working in groups and sharing knowledge.
Try to arrange study groups between your youngsters and their friends. Use homework hotlines. Many schools have phone numbers to call to get help with homework. Talk to teachers. If you don't have time to visit school, phone your youngsters' teachers and leave a message.
