Younger kids need more structure to keep them on track. Might try having him do his homework at the kitchen or dining room table.

This always helped me honestly. Even in high school I couldn't really focus until I left my phone in my room and sat in the dining room until shite was done.

Precisely. Kids that age need to be taught how to study. Some of it is basic impulse control, but it can also involve strategies on how to attack the material.

Simply not giving the kid answers is a good start, but sometimes you can look for incorrect ways of approaching the material. It can help prevent the kid from feeling frustrated that he isn't understanding something immediately.

Learning isn't always about effort, sometimes it simply boils down to finding better ways to understand new concepts.
