My son has an attitude problem

Tweet

Are most nine year olds this mouthy? My son seems to think lately that he can talk to me and his father however he wants. He's constantly getting into trouble, getting things taken away from him and getting grounded, but it just doesn't seem to be doing any good. We've talked to him to try and get down to his moodiness but there doesn't seem to be anything different in his life that would be causing this. We think it just has to do with him getting older and hanging out with his older cousin. Has anyone else had this problem with their kids? How did you work through it? Is there something else that we could be doing besides grounding him? Help! I'm desperate to get my good son back.
