I can't take the talking back and the arguing. How do you get a kid to stop this but yet allow them to have an opinion and an stand. How do you know that you aren't pushing them too far to get them to do what you want.

We get our kids to stop doing things when we learn where they got it from.....Our kids don't just pick this stuff up he has learned it from some one...start there then work on your child....teach him the difference between inside voice and out side voice that how I worked with my 5 year old and it does help......God Bless and Good Luck...
Be consistent in the time outs. Don't cave in. After the time out, he has cooled down & so have you and you can explain the reason he was put in the time out. Also like some have mentioned, take away some toys & privileges and by doing that explain again why you did that and what is expected of him to earn the privileges back. You got to be consistent & yes it takes time but in the long run he will respect you. The most loving thing a parent can do is discipline & be consistent. Tell him also it's bc you love him & that is why he is being disciplined or put on time out.
You need to teach your son that shouting and arguing with you is not acceptable behavior. Everytime he does that, you should have him do a time-out and if you want, take away some privileges like tv or toys. He will quickly learn that once he starts to act disruptive, he will get a punishment. It's very important after every timeout and episode, you explain to him in a gentle but firm manner that that behavior will not be acceptable in the household.
