dont worry first of all. when your kid does the talking back make them realise first of all that it is not at all acceptable but in a polite way. also try to find out from where they are learning by talking to them when they are in good mood.children normally learn from what they see around.u would need a lot of patience to tackle this. i would suggest dont beat as this would make them more adamant

It's just a phase and it will pass.. don't react much on when they answer u back.. try to explain them when they r in good mood.. also check from where your child is learning..  sometimes it's because of the other kids around them .

lgnore it when it happens.  Later explain it to your kid that its not a good thing to do. If the kid is going to school ask the teacher to talk about it in the class.

My kids are young. Am yet to confront the situation but I would ignore at the time he does that. May be later counsel him and tell how to say the same thing in better words.
