The study aims to explore the connection between diverse homework help sources, children's well-being, and gratitude levels. We recruited 295 children in India (ages 7 to below 18) via snowball sampling for an online survey assessing homework help, gratitude and wellbeing. We found a positive association between using multiple sources for homework help and well-being, mediated by gratitude. The mother's work status did not moderate the relationship. Maternal and paternal help correlated with well-being. Maternal help's impact on well-being was mediated by gratitude. For children of nonworking mothers, maternal help directly and indirectly influenced well-being. For children of working mothers, paternal help, not maternal, affected well-being through gratitude. Paradoxically, sibling support correlated with lower well-being, and friend help exhibited a suppression effect on well-being. The study provides insights into the significance of parental involvement in the academic support of children.
