Well I learned the best way to make them do something is buy two or three items they have been desperately wanting let them utilize it for about a day or two then when they are very addicted to it take it away while they are at school then when they say I want it back tell them to do their homework and each day they do it they get one piece of the item back like a cord knob or something never give it in whole then once they have done their home work for about a full month they should have all their items back then the next time this will make them do their home work hope this works but remember the item must be new as older things they have may not mean as much

give him some motivation to work towards. ex: once he is done w/homework, he can be able to watch tv or play a video game for an hour or so. And, since doing homework allows you to do better on tests and other school work, make a long term goal, such as if he brings a "A" on the next test/report card, then he is able to buy a new video game or have a day out with his friends. You work and study hard for the first 30ish years of your life so then afterwards, you can sit back and relax...it doesnt work the other way around! "work now, play later!" (This has gotten ME to do my homework!!) :) Good luck!

Take away something he likes, or likes to do...
Have him come directly home from school, sit at the table, or a desk in a room with few distractions. Do not allow television, cell phone, calls from friends, or video games/internet for two hours. During the two hours, he would have no alternative, but to do his homework or stare at his shoes. If he stares at his shoes instead of doing his homework, then no television/cell phone/internet, etc... for the rest of the evening. When he gets tired of the lack of privileges, he will do his homework to earn them back. Worked like a charm for us, but takes a strong hand... Ignore the back-talk, and Good luck.

Is he failing at school or is school failing him? It might be, (likely) that he is actually smarter then the work he has to bring home. Check and see if he knows the stuff, then, tell him, you understand how stupid and frustrating it is to have to do it but he must. Then, help him some, and when he gets through it, praise him on a job well done! Good luck! It's hard to be a 16 year old boy!

Schedule study time. Set boundaries. STICK to the boundaries place consequences for not doing his homework. When he follows the rules- praise him. After he has done 5 days in a row, take him to pizza or something-one on one- make sure to tell him you are proud of him.
If none of this works, get tough.. take away priviledges and games etc ..including phone and television.. Check homework daily- be stern but approachable- sit down and help him-assure the child --he can come to you for help

explain to him that something so simple as homework creates grades and grades are what make you a keeper in the university selection world. You definelty don't want to always maintain a highschool student job for the rest of your life. Having low grades can create consequences in the home environment such as less tv time or internet time...

1) Take the TV or whatever distracts him out of his room.
2) Don't watch TV as a family until after he's done w/homework
Teach by example. Show him that you have your own homework (fixing house, cleaning, paying bills, etc) until you get to have fun. It's a part of life.

Take away his priveledges, all of them. No tv, no computer, nothing until homework is done. Sit at the table with him and do his homework with him--make sure he understands it. One reason my brother didnt do his homework was because he didnt understand it, when he got the assistance he needed, at home and at a different school he started to succeed. be involved, maybe he is dyslexic or has attention deficit disorder.

Bring him out of his bedroom, set him at the kitchen table. Be sure your within eye contact of him, and within listening distances. They will eventually, understand, that the sooner they get the homework done, the faster they can get back to their own personnel world, with TV and telephone service.
