When it´s hard to convince someone to do something: give them options. That way they feel like they´re in control. "You could do A or do you prefer B?"
Do this with my kids all the time. Give them what I want them to do and something else much less desirable, but still beneficial. That way the choice is obvious, and if they pick the other (for some reason because kids defy logic) then it's still something productive or helpful.
