1. Either something has happened to him or he perceives that it happened. Talk to him 1 on 1 and let him know that you just want to help him. Ask if anything has scared him or hurt him and then both of you follow through with dealing with the problem.When he sees you in active pusuit of working out the problem, he will gain confidence aswell. Discuss it afterwards and then talk with him a week or two later to make sure he is doing ok or if you need to do something else. Don't tell him to just get over it because he may not be able to tell you the whole truth at first and kids handle different problems in different ways and length of time. If it is a big problem, that may or may not include legal/medical matters take him to a professional to get help. 2. He may be lacking a certain vitamin or iron and he is tired or run down all of the time and is grouchy. My son grew 2 in. one mo. when he was 10. He either fell asleep after school and missed supper or was grouchy until bedtime.The dr. had me take him out of all his sports and activities and give him a good vitamin plus continuing his well balanced meals.. He said that my son was growing too fast for his normal sleeping of 8 -10 hrs to get enough rest and to replenish him for the next day. So take your son to a dr. if the discussion warrants it or he doesn't improve. He may not know why he is not minding and is just as confused as you are. Sometimes they act out, subconsiously, to get attention because they know that something is wrong but don't know what. Best wishes.

Well my oldest is only 5 but the best thing I have found is find out what his favorite things are. If you don't already know. If he doesn't listen he loses them for a certain amount of time. Make sure he knows before he does something what the punishment will be. If they know what will happen they are less likely to do something. Be consistant you and you husband or any one else that watches him. Even talk with his teachers my sons sitter writes in a note book for me. Then I talk to him about what he has done and he loses something for it. Like I said my son is young. But i think it would work for an older child also good luck to you.

I find that if you take away his favorite toys and the TV they start to listen for a while until you take something else away.
