With all due respect to the scholar who replied. I never claim myself a scholar; however, usually parents are tested, due to their sins, with problems with children. This is a 7-year-old child. He is not even mature yet. We can derive that this is a test a trial for the mother. Parents must start looking into themselves, repent, mend the relation with Allah. Try with all means to come closer. Look for what even a tiny sin they might be committing and work on themselves to stop. The mother also can just give out Sadaqa (money for charity), or seek any good deeds for ex: if one is not on good terms with a relative or not speaking to a relative (Silat urrahem). In other words a broken kinship relation must be reestablished, reconcile with whomever you are not talking to. Actually according to hadeeth, Allah (SAW) instructs the angles to take the dua up except those who are not speaking to each other. Briefly, there must be something or the other that is disturbing the relationship with such parents with Allah. And a problem with their child is the only means to have them think. So the work must initially start at the parents side. Allah shall certainly fix and correct the child Insha Allah. Wallahu a`alam.
