Is your 6 year old son as argumentative and defiant as mine?

My son is almost 6 and in Kindergarten. Over the last year we have seen him be increasingly argumentative and defiant. He has trouble listening and following orders/instructions. He is really smart and in general he's a really good kid, which confuses me even more. I expect him to be better than this. It drives me crazy. Is it just a stage? What can I do to curve his behavior?

My son was like this, and I was saved by a book called Parenting with Love and Logic by Jim Fay and Foster Cline. The cure is not instant, it takes consistancy and work, but it is well worth it.
