Try giving him 8 minutes on his own after 3 warning for inappropriate behaviour - but do this at the same time as a sticker chart or a marble jar for appropriate behaviour - so each time he talks to you nicely, or is helpful, etc he gets a sticker or a marble in the jar. When he fills his jar or chart you both agree on a prize or treat.
This worked with my eldest (mouth on legs) - she still slips up occasionally but she's generally much better now.
good luck

A mothers job in the forming years is to train her children.
Teach them respect for authority.
They may not like it but one day he will thank you for being firm with him.
Spare the rod and spoil the child.
The wooden spoon works wonders you may only need to use it a couple of times and when he sees that you mean business he will begin to think about his actions.
If he plays up warn him once and if he still doesn't listen then use the spoon on his back side.
He will learn if you are consistent.
Like we were told, "it hurts me more than it hurts you".
Never could figure that one out as a child but understand it now.
Take care!

Every time he is cheeky chuck one of his favourite toys in the attic for 2 days. I did that with my lil'un and it cured her it about 2 weeks. Also you need to be a united front with his Dad if he won't behave fo you. Try getting a "List Board" and writing down what he did so that his Dad will see it when he gets home and then both decide on a punishment together and you carry it out with his support. He will then see that Dad supports Mum, what Mum says gos and he can't play you off on one another. Godd Luck

Hello, you are not alone here as I have an 8 year old daughter which when she gets told off for doing something wrong, just smirks and laughs at me. I am not sure what the answer is, I dont believe in smacking children, but I have tried removing treats etc and sending them up to their rooms....... to cool down. If you come up with any answers, then please email me, so that it may help with mine.

start by removing privlediges like psp telly things like that and sending him to his room ,it will work but whatever punishment yo dish out you must carry through. Stop pocket money for a week have a naughty/behaved chart that always seems to work if there is an incentive at the end of it.

He probably doesn't listen to you because you don't consistently follow through with discipline. Perhaps your a pushover for him. It's easy for a child to manipulate a parent who softens easily & gives in. He obviously is not worried by your threats. Get tough, follow through with discipline that will really upset him & stand your ground. If he laughs at you or shows disrespect esculate the discipline so that he looses out on something he really likes & thinks twice about being rude to you again.

He will NOT grow out of it! He will continue to treat you like this the rest of your life. Can I ask how you treat him? You must do what you say you are going to and only say what you are willing to do. If you constantly threaten to punish him and then don't, then of course he will not believe you no matter what you say. If this is the case, you need to start following through with whatever punishment you've threatened. And don't threaten a hundred times. You need to tell him to stop the behavior or else and if he doesn't stop then follow through with the punishment.

Its the age! Most kids this age (especially boys) start to want to feel independant and think its cool to back talk to mom :)
Just try to be super stern (which you are already doing) and go with it, he'll outgrow it!!!

Start taking his favorite things away from him when he misbehaves. Give him a warning first and if he does it again than start taking his stuff away. And, he must earn his stuff back by behaving. Try this website...www.parenting.com!

Don't know if you have a partner??? why doesn't he/she help. I wouldn't put up with him being cheeky, it will only get worse if you don't nip it in the bud NOW
