Nowadays kids are very unrully and they always want to get what they want. What do you think is the best way to handle them? I have a 7 years old nephew and he's fun of playing rather than studying his lessons in school, so what I did is took all of his toys and hide on the place where he can't find it. How can I motivate him to study his lessons?

That's one of the right things to do. But will that motivate him to study hard? I believe you should communicate with him. Let him know the importance of studying at this young age. Educate him on what can happen to him in the society if he doesn't study. Children at such young age must be given some time to play too. Otherwise, it will be too stressful on them.

You're on the right track. I would take everything away. EVERYTHING! Give him one toy back for everything he does right, but, don't give him his favorites til the end.
