get him to think before he does things, being adamant isnt such a bad thing as long as he is making correct and focused decisions. He needs to know that he has time to think before acting on things. So give him guidance that you believe in so that he will be appointed in the right direction.

If he's adamant that he's 7 years old, how old do you think he actually is? You could either pretend he's 7 years old or get a trained psychologist to try to work out why he's convinced he's 7 years old.
Have you considered though that he may be right and it's you who needs the therapy? His birth certificate should easily resolve this issue.

Do you feel really embarrass about what he is adamant about. I have a 12 years old. I talk to him before we go over people houses. If he does do something I do not like I do take away from watching TV, or playing the video. Write down what he should have done different. It depends on the situation.

I believe in natural consequesnces for things my kids do. they learn by suffering when they do things wrong. Dont bail them out when they get in trouble.....even go so far as post as "if / then" chart on the fridge. Then stick to your guns. The deal at my house is lying = being unplugged, (no electronics) for a week. Hitting = grounding + family community service (doing the chores that everyone hates, like cleaning out trash can.) (and NO 7 is not too young to do that stuff. One way to head problems like this off at the pass is to make sure everyone has responsibilities in the family, it lends respect for everyone to feel needed.

Let him know the consequences when he is acting up or doesn't get what he wants and throws a fit. Tell him upfront so he will know what is going to happen, for instance set some rules. If you start getting mad because you can't watch your favorite program I will take away the privelage for a week. Then stick to it. If you let him know in adavance their won't be any surprises when it gets taken away. If he screams att he store because he can't have something let him know he won't be getting anything for x-amount of time. When he starts seeing you are setting the rules and are sticking to them he will begin to behave.

Depends on how he is being adamant. There is never a reason to let your child control what you do or what you allow them to do. Use everyting in the book from time-outs to spanking (no, it will NOT make them abusive as an adult). Get his actions in check now before he becomes out of control in a couple of years.
