    I have an 11 year old boy with attitude and thinks he knows all. When explaining things to him he has an answer for everything. At the end of my rope.

    What have you done to punish him so far? Or does he keep doing everything he was doing before without consequences for his actions?

    11 year old, they know it all, yep, just read 99.999percent of the 12 year olds that post here, including the one who knows he is old enough to have sex with his 11 year old girl friend and is upset because his pressure her is not working.

    11 and 12 year olds do not listen, they think they know everything, and it just gets worst for the next 4 or 5 years in general.

    There will be good times and there will be know it all times.

    You don't allow them to talk back, grounding and time out
