Please help! my son is becoming a nightmare, daily incidents at his small school, mostly of answering back/ arguing with teachers or TAs, they have been quite mild on consequences, and only now have put a warning system in place, third warning equals time out at breaktime.

he is also challenging at home, we have used 1-2-3 warning system, leading to time out on step on in room - it is so exhausting and upsetting for us that he misbehavses and doesn't care about consequences/ gets so angry in the moment that he doesn't remember to stop arguing. it is tearing out family apart and ruining so many moments.

What would you do? when not angry/ rude he is very sweet, quite young emotionally, very bright, musical and sporty.
