calmly explain why talking back is unacceptable

What you need to do is not give him any attention when he throws a fit in any way. By giving him that attention you are making seem as if you are listening when he does that. Then, they will get the idea and think of alternative ways to get your attention... If they do it in a nice, respectible way, then you should give them full attention, they will like it and you will like it and they will stay away from the other method which gets them nothing.
But, if there are other people around while stomping and stuff, they will get the attention from others, which will still spark them to do that more. so you would need to figure out a way around this. Something that they don't like will get them to stop... It could be a different form of punishment, like feeding them broccoli because of the way they acted, haha.
Then by treating them really good when they talk about their problems or try to solve it in a good fashion, even if they don't get what they want, will teach them respect... which you need to teach now before it gets too late and they become one of those disrespectful juviniles.
wish you the best

Terrible two's. Ignore the fits. If that doesn't work, then time out until he can act better. time out for talking back. No candy or treats and little boys love food. I'm not saying don't feed him, but taking treats away will get his attention.
Now, does he get enough attention from you and his dad? Sometimes all dad needs to do is say "no." Mom has already let him get by with things. You need to play with your children. Give them time every day. Bad behavior is often just an attention getter.

I wouldn't actually smack a toddler in the mouth, but when my son was little, I would flick his mouth when he talked back. He stopped quick, it shocked him that I would do that. Sometimes spanking does help. When he throws a fit, I would sit my son in the bathroom on a stool in time out. Don't punish him in his room with all his toys.

The best thing to do is let him throw his fits but always stick to the punishment even if it is hard on you, if you give in to him it will never get better. Always hold strong!

" As the bible states you spare the rod you spoil the child"
So many people quote this wrong..it's spare the rod ruin the flock...meaning if the Shepard doesn't GUILD his flock with his rod (the big cane looking thing not meant to hit his sheep with) this the sheep with wander and leave and there will be no sheep left.
you dont need to hit your child to guild him. since he is only a toddler then I would say ignore what he is is saying as back talk, when my older child who is 10 talks back it's after I told him to do something. and then I talk over him telling him the only thing he can respond with is YES MAMA or mom.

After 2 or 3 pops in the mouth and a firm chewwing out, he will begin to think before he speaks.

Proverbs 13:24 - He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes. (King James Version)
24He who spares his rod [of discipline] hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines diligently and punishes him early (Amplified Bible)
Those who spare the rod of discipline hate their children. Those who love their children care enough to discipline them. (New Living Translation)
If you love your children, you will correct them; if you don't love them, you won't correct them. (Contemporary English version)
A refusal to correct is a refusal to love; love your children by disciplining them. (The Message Bible)
How many more ways do you need to see what must be done?
Forget the crap kids yell, "I'll call the cops!" Whose in charge: you or them? Who pays the bills?
I don't advocate beating a child to death, I just mean that the occassional 'whoopin'/spanking is good. It shows you care enough about the child to make sure they know how to behave correctly.
My momma did this and I wasn't an angel, but I sure knew what I shouldn't do, as well as what I should.

As the bible states you spare the rod you spoil the child. Now don't get me wrong I don't believe in spanking all of the time but sometimes yes mam.
