Children learn by example. Speak to them with love and respect and try to remember all the time that they are a child and it is a natural part of developing and growing to ask questions about the world they live in, no matter how frustrating it is to the adult. Set guidelines and boundaries for behaviour and explain why these rules are in place. Be clear about the consequences of mis-behaviour and be consistent.
Lead by example. Don't talk when they are talking.
Yes. If you confront them, hopefully they will stop talking about you behind your back.

Child support arrears do not expire until they are paid.
You tell them! You scream at them, if you have to. If they don't stop, just punish them.
No, it is still owed with interest. The back child support was supposed to be paid while the child was growing up. Check your state laws.
My antenna went up on this one. If your child is very young, you need to be mindful that some important developmental things should be going on. Please get to your child's doctor without delay if your child has stopped talking and should still be in the process of learning to talk.
No. Back child support is money you should have been paying when you didn't. You owe it until it is all paid up.
Yes, it can.
They might.
