To me, i found that a little smack makes wonders! Say "Can you please change your clothes" (if dirty) if he doesn't do as he's told in five minutes sternly say to him "(name of son) i told you five minutes ago to change, either listen or I'm going to have to smack you" wait another 5 minutes and if he hasn't changed take him into a quite room and give him a smack (not to hard though) and tell him that he has been naughty and the next time you ask him to change that he better do it or he will get another smack. I was risen p like this and i am so thankful that my mother did this. If she didn't i would of been in jail a few times. Trust me, discipline is key. Don't be guilty when you do smack your child, you are trying to teach him to listen and do as he is told. Make time for him and when he does do as he's told, reward and praise him. It worked for me, it'll work for you.
