Consistency is key. Also, make it very real for him in regards to removing prevliges and make them stick. I've got a son who became very forgettful for a time - things like turning in homework, etc. I started forgetting to get what he wanted for meals, forgetting that he was allowed to watch TV, etc. Worked well. As for disrespect, my older son knows that if he does that, he'll get embarassed in public and in front of his friends, which he deathly fears. As long as you are consistant, it will work. Good luck.

Mouthy ten year old
My son is always good at school, or when he's away from home. I had him late in life, so he is like an only child. Also, his father died when he was 1 and 1/2. He's a pretty good kid for the most part, although he's always been stubborn, but lately he has the most disrespectful mouth! He yells at me and his step-father all the time. I have tried reasoning with him to no avail. Finally, I got out the paddle and I used it! This will get his attention for a day or two at most, then he's right back at it. How can I get this child to understand the importance of showing us respect, if he wants to have priveleges?
