Consistency. When you put your foot down, that's it - no turning back. You are the one in control, don't ever forget that. Always be calm, always use communication and explain circumstances. Always make consequences also and explain if you do that again I will take "whatever" away for the rest of the day. Always follow through with what you say you are going to do. If they don't listen to you at all, do like Super Nanny and have a naughty spot to go to for 2 minutes. Just be consistent and stick with a routine - this is what children know best (routine).
Good Luck!!!!!

make sure that you follow through with punishing behavior that you do not approve of. if you allow something once, it will happen again. also don't give anything that could be construed as a reward after the child is disobedient. i have found time-outs to be the most affective, but make sure that it is always in the same place and that there is nothing fun around them. i have my son sit in the "time out" chair in the corner. it has been pretty effective.

Some of these suggestions are interesting. I'm having the same problem too. I think I spend too much time trying to "discipline" her and not enough time enjoying her company. Maybe she just wants a little more attention.

PATIENCE!!!!!! Okay keep the same form of punshiment and follow through every time with it. EX.... Time outs if he/she gets down put them back and if you say your going to put them in time out do it dont threaten follow through with what you say this is very important because they are very testy. Be firm with your voice dont sceam all the time they do not understand it firm voices get so much more done.

3 words for you ...
consistancy consistancy consistancy..
we teach our kids what is acceptable and what isnt.. you have to be consistant with them in every step you take/make. it is the hardest thing to do cuz i get busy with something and dont realize they are doing something they know they shouldnt.. good luck.. im dealing with the same thing and i learned early on.. to be routine with them about everything.. they respond better anyhow..

NOW, IF NOT EARLIER, IS THE TIME TO START DISCIPLINING. BE FIRM WITH YOUR TONE OF VOICE, BE CONSISTENT AND, IF HE CONTINUES TO MISBEHAVE, YOU NEED TO TRY HAVING A REAL HARD TALK WITH HIM. HE'LL TRY TO WEAR YOU DOWN BUT DO NOT GIVE IN.
