Answer 2

Taking things away from him may work, but you could maybe try a reward system. Make up a chart together, include things on it like, made my bed, did my homework, said something nice to someone today, I didn't back chat today, I didn't swear today etc. Each night before he goes to bed go through the list for each thing he did give him a star, at the end of the week, count up how many stars he has and reward him. It doesn't have to be something you buy. Maybe he likes going to the park, playing footy, do something special together and tell him how proud you are of him for trying really hard not to backchat. Good Luck. Lets us know if it works..

Answer 3

It amazes me how many people recommend physical consequences to discipline their children. I'm glad to see that you are an educated woman who realizes that this sort of discipline only hurts a child.I think that if you put him in time out EVERY single time he does it, or take away the things he likes to play with, it will stop. But you really have to be consistent and not slip once, or it will be 10x worse the next time. We have 4 children and have NEVER used any sort of physical punishment. We are very consistent and our children know that every action has a consequence, good or bad. They are not perfect of course, but they behave very well where ever we go and we do not have any issues with back talk. We find too that when they are kept busy all day with activities, chores, etc.. they feel a part of our family and they really like having the responsibilities given to them. Maybe if you give him several jobs to do after school, it will help as well. He may protest at first, but really, kids love having jobs and feeling a part of something. Good luck!

Answer 4

He doesn't respect you. You need to get the upper hand. Give him 7 minutes of time out every time he does it. Also, start taking everything that he cares about away from him until he starts showing some respect. He is doing this because you have let him get away with it for too long. By the way a swat on the butt once in awhile isn't going to kill him to show him that you mean business. Don't be a pushover he will walk all over you until you put your foot down.

Answer 5

Set up boundries. If he backchats, he gets T.V. or video games taken away. Then when he gets them back, he will know how much he wanted them and learn not to do it again. Like that. Its pretty easy and sometimes fun. It lets him know YOUR the boss around your house and what you say goes.

Answer 6

It's amazing what our kids pick up from us, whether we realize it or not. Take a hard look at how you (and husband?) talk to one another, and to others. He's probably modeling his behavior from someone he spends a good amount of time with.

Does he go to a sitter? Or spend alot of time at a friends house? What about the TV shows/movies he's allowed to watch?

You don't have to hit to get your point across... but you do need to be a good role model, and set boundaries. When he crosses the line, let him know what he did wrong and why you don't approve. He's 7. If you don't teach him now, he's gonna be cursing like a sailor by the time he's in middle school.

Our son's preschool teacher shared this little trick with us, and I swear to you it works. Vinegar. Give him a tsp of vinegar when he back-talks or uses inappropriate words. Works in my house :-)

Answer 7

sounds like he takes to anger and frustration out on you from the lost of your son it incredibly is undesirable on account that now you're able to desire to stand no in basic terms the shortcoming of your son which i'm extraordinarily sorry approximately you in addition to would would desire to stand your husband fading into the back floor and having issues of him determine you spend quite a number of time including your 4 year old he desires the time spent with him because of the fact he too is going by some thing he's familiar with his brother is lacking from his each and on a daily basis existence. No we cant constantly save the abode acceptable sparkling is sweet sufficient yet while all he does is come abode turn on the television and drink how is that from now on advantageous he needs to locate a different thank you to spend his time he's attempting to recover from the shortcoming of his son with beer it incredibly is only going to deliver approximately a different concern called alcoholism you're able to desire to speak to a minister/pastor and notice in the event that they'd come by ability of your place invite him to church suggestions him guy to guy.

Answer 8

If you don't spank then you better start using other methods like taking things away and time outs. Also, my sister made my nephew keep a bar of ivory soap in his mouth for about 2 minutes and that stopped him after two times.

Answer 9

you may not teach him to stop he will grow out of that, then grow back into it at 15.
You must how ever set boundaries .
punishment .
5 min corner or time out .
Take away his favourite toy .
Ban television . Game boy etc.
once you have confronted him explain to him why he has been bad and be sure he apologises

Answer 10

Give him a dose of his own medicine. be nasty to him for a while. Then when he is hurt/angry/confused. sit down and talk to him . ask him how he felt when you treated him that way. Tell him how it makes you feel when he treats you the same way.

Seems to work well with my own 2 daughters.

Answer 11

do u swear around him? well if u do, stop swearing.

help him find other words to use, like instead of saying "u r full of sh it" teach him to say use words like bonkers, balogna, or make up another silly word to use.

punishments is always good like sitting in the corner.

another method to use is everytime he swears stick a listerine strip into his mouth. (totally safe and its not abuse)
