What's the worse thing that can happen if he doesn't do the homework?

With my 9 year old, I have him shower after dinner and then it's homework time. If he doesn't want to do it, off to bed. If he chooses to do it, then it's snack time and usually a few minutes of play time with mom.

I figure homework is the child's responsibility. If he needs my help, I'm available. The time slot is available for doing the homework as well. If he chooses not to, then the school has consequences for that.

If he hasn't been with you long, he may just be pushing your buttons to get a reaction.
