Brief Answer:
Your attitude toward him needs to change
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Let me tell you that you should NEVER beat your child. Beating does not grow compliance. In fact it grows arrogance and makes the situation worse. That is exactly what you are observing. Rather than punishment, you should seek positive reinforcement. Rather than trying to oppress negative attitude you should promote the positive attitude that should replace the thing you consider negative. Set small rewards for graded tasks that you set for him. Award him a certain number of stars for every good thing he does. Set a target that for a certain number of stars you would offer him a small reward, something like an eraser or some non-food stuff that you otherwise have given him anyway. Delayed gratification is more important and should be encouraged rather than immediate gratification.
Regarding his speech, you need to continuously talk to and interact with him.
Let me know if I could help further.
Regards
