Why are you giving the 7 year old a choice in the matter , tell that kid if he or she does not like doing their school work , then you do not like them having toys , free time , and nice clothes , My 8 year old loves school , she did not a first , but when she realized school is her job to get things she turned around , because bad grades or not doing it , gets the toys in the trash , the cable cut off , and causes us to sit home day in and day out never going no where , your kid probably gets mad and stops his homework , and has the TV on or is playing with something..do not do this , make it a priority to not allow them nothing until their job is done ,and done right , there is no compromise no exceptions ever ....make them sit at the table all evening long bored , until bath time then it is bath ,and bed by 8 ..if you are too busy to do this you are too busy to raise this child , there is no negotiations with children at all , tell them your job , tell them theirs , it is law , no if's and 's or but's ....no exceptions , this includes evening dinner , tell them they do not like doing their job then you are not doing yours , no dinner , no new clothes , no nothing ..they have eaten lunch , and breakfast at school , they will not starve and die , they will try to make you believe they are , but they will live,, all of this is not easy , you have to commit yourself to raising this child , and making them be responsible , I even went to the point of doing away with the cool name brand clothes ,and got a bunch of Goodwill clothes , and I refused to even wash them , Oh she cried , I can not wear the same thing twice daddy , I told her she was not doing her job , I am not doing mine , ...Stick to your guns , do not be without back bone , I even had to use a belt on the butt , three or four times , but these kids are no trouble at all now , even my teenage boy holds doors for ladies ,and elderly people at stores , he always says "Yes sir , or Yes ma'am , etc , He will stand his ground without yelling , if he feels something is wrong , it does not change my answer from No to yes , but he has his say , but I am in control , kids do not run my house or tell me what they are or are not going to do ..they do as they are told the first time , and they are crazy if they think I am going to stand there like an idiot and count down for them to move ....It just does not happen , get control of this child , the last thing this world needs is another bum , or inmate

encourage him to, u know how? 1st option is tell him "u wana be stupid and poor like the poor people begging outside? if u dont want do ur schoolworks." 2nd option is to tell him "wat else r u gonna do if u r going to do ur work? i spend my money to give u knowlegde and friends." if he still doesn't want to, tell him" the people outside are begging money for knowledge, food, and richness, should i spend it for u to go to school or them?" if he say no( like me, bored talking to my mom when she did this) then the 2nd option failed. last but not least is being mean to him, im just kidding, is being kind to him by giving him toys. and when he gets bigger, its harder for him to pass his tests. ask him" are u getting good grades? " if he or she lies u will find out right? then u encourage him as much as possible with....... ur own words.
that should help much! good luck!
