As a parent, it is your responsibility to look after your child's after-school activities because it helps them acquire good study habits. The moment your child reaches middle school, this is the time when homework is first introduced to them, a time when parents should offer support to their children.
We all know it could be tough to make time answering and assisting your kids with their homework, especially if you are a parent who works all the time. That said, here are some parenting tips on how you would handle helping your kids with their homework:
Create A Workspace
In an article published by Kids Health, setting up the workspace is your priority in helping your children with their homework. You can use the kitchen area or an exclusive study room for this activity. Make sure that the room is properly lit and comfortable for studying.
It is also advised that you leave a lot of school supplies in that workspace like pencils and papers, among other things, as this would keep them motivated. The room is best without any distractions as well like TV, video games and even phone calls that could interrupt their study time.
Gotta keep up with those studies! ... Even on tour. Jared

You can't reason out that you don't have time to help your kids with their homework because you're a busy parent with a job. It is already understood that you don't have time if you are employed, which is why it is a must that you make time no matter what.
Set up a calendar that will remind you of your schedule to help your kids with their homework as advised by Kids Health. You can also keep a chart that indicates all the subject that you have to tackle. Keep a checklist of the things that needs to be done as well.
