While I am not an expert, I do have a 7 year old boy who is VERY defiant at times. He stomps his feet and refuses to do even the littlest tasks we ask him. I have found that what works, is taking away video game, tv and computer privileges. If that doesn't work, taking away a favorite toy works also. It might seem harsh, but some kids don't respond to anything else.

Different answer:

How defiant is he? I also have a 7yr old. He doesn't care if you take away things or make him sit in time out. He goes back and continues to break the rules. If he is VERY defiant and angry you might need to look in to Oppositional Defiant Disorder. If he sometimes acts up I'd say its normal.
