Listening is very important! It is a skill that he will take with him forever and if he is not listening to you, then who is he listening to? You need to make sure that when you are talking to him, you have his full attention. Don't try to talk to him while he is playing videos or watching TV. Try not to yell and don't make any empty threats. If you say you are going to punish him, then follow through with it. Stand your ground!!
Good luck though!!! It is not a boy thing, it is disrespect.

I agree with Leslie, I just read one of Dr Dobson's book... It is great.. I am already using some of his advice on my 16 month old baby girl and it is already working... I know sometimes reading is a pain when you dont have time, but it is totally worth it.

everytime he dosn't listen, take away whatever he likes best. But you have to be cosistant or it wont work if you give in to him.My son is 12 yrs old i take his cell phone away it makes him crazy that he cant have it. It will really work if you do it every time. Its very hard and tiring, trust me it will work. good luck!!!!

He is just a boy!! I have 4 boys....and mine is going through the same stage. Honestly, If I have to tell him more than 3 times not to do something, I chase after him then he knows he is in trouble. Most of the time I sound like a broken record. All I can say is pick and choose your battles and stick to your guns. You are the parent.

It sounds like he is getting away with not listening to his mother, and you have bought into this "not responding to me cause I'm male". Stop kidding yourself. He just doesn't want to listen to you. Heck, if I could of gotten away with that growing up, life would of been sweet. You need to really get some help with him obeying you. Go to the library and check out some books. Dr. Dobson might have some answers. If you don't have him listening to you at age 7, you'll be in big trouble when he hits middle school. Good luck.
