How can I stop my child from calling me or someone else in the family stupid or telling me or someone else in the family to shut up? And he is only 8 years old.

this is a no brainer. works every time!!!
tonight when the little darling is in bed you sit down and make a list of all of the things that our little darlin really loves.
1 play station
2 his cars
3 his tv
4 his bike
5 his movies
you get the picture.
sit him down when things are quiet and tell him. the next time you call me or dad bla bla bla stupid, I'm going to take away your play station. if you do it again I'm going to take away your cars etc.
now here is when it gets tricky, if you want this to work.
YOU HAVE TO DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and trust me he is not going to like it one little bit!!! too bad so sad!!!
if he wants his things back he has to earn them. do something nice for the person he insulted. like for mom, he would have to set the table. or dad he would have to take out the garbage
there is not one kid in this good old USA that this will not work on!!!
you are the parent, he is an 8 year old kid!!! you have all the power all he can do is scream and yell and act the fool. stick to your guns and YOU WIN!!! no more little devil child!!!
by the way, i put a lock on my pantry door and that's where i kept the confiscated booty!!!

Smack the little bastard! :))
OK, I'll be nice. The best way to teach kids -- or anyone -- is by example. If you use bad words around them, they're liable to repeat them and at the most inopportune moments, too. Let them know that there are some words that we do not say. Although adults may say them and other kids as well, it isn't right and it is not OK for them to follow suit. These words and that sort of behavior are wrong, because they hurt feelings and will lead to trouble (ie: time out, no fun activities, earlier bedtime, etc...). Your threats must be reasonable and you have to follow up on every one that you make or they won't take you seriously. Ever!

Everytime he says it you put him in a corner. If he talks he stays in longer. Set the timer for 8 min and add 3 to it if he talks, he will grow tired of this really fast! But you have to be strong and consistant or the only person to blame is you for not following thru, you will hate it the first few times but TRUST me it is worth it! Hang in there and don't give up or give in to him. Remember YOU are the parent you CAN make him listen to you.

Sit down and discuss hurtful words with him..... Talk about how peoples feeling get hurt when hurtful words are spoken.......Point out that you don't use words to hurt him (or do you???) Children only repeat what they hear. If you do....then make a plan that the two of you will not say hurtful words to anyone anymore.

You are the parent, take control. Sit him down and explain to him that that is NOT acceptable behavior. Give him a time out. He has to realize that his actions are controlled by him and that consequences are given for unacceptable behavior.
